Posting to two prompts. Prelude to a Kiss and Ekphrastic that presents us with a lovely art piece. Enjoy.
I Rise, is an encouragement poem for you-- a reminder of the power you carry within. Happy Palentine's Day, Pen Pals... Lovely friends of mine/ your virtues are most divine/
Needing a break from my 'regular' routine, I ventured south on the one sunny day we had this week. I walked on wooden boardwalk of the harborfront park, and took pictures to share with you.
I offer you an Abhanga: written in any number of 4-lined stanzas with 6-6-6-4 syllables each. Lines 2 and 3 rhyme resulting in a xAAx scheme. The poem needs a title.
In wonder with the colors of autumn while I listen close to the whispers from the wind. Happy November, everyone.
"...and then the sun took a step back, the leaves lulled themselves to sleep and Autumn was awakened." ~Raquel Franco October Hunter's Moon: don't miss it.
There's a corollary between life and death and I attempt to express its relationship in today's poems. Hope you see what I mean. Enjoy.
Here, I offer you a string of shadorma (shadormae?) with a whimsy story for many more starry nights. Written for Tanka Tuesday, Ekphrastic Week.
It's only August, but already I'm dreaming of migrating birds. Wishing them a safe return or visit to warm climes. And did you know this about their V formation? Perhaps we could learn how our energy is an asset. We, homo sapiens, are amazing too.
A 6-lined Gogyohka I wrote for you today. I hope you enjoy it. Click on the link for details of this, almost no restrains poetry form.
In my first Lanterne series, I chose to break the rules a bit and ended up liking the result. I hope you like lanterns and lanterne form poetry, and that you liked what I wrote for you. Happy Summer.
