Skipping, I go along my merry way Gaining stride, I bounce, leave my town behind Deeper still I prance winded by the day That awoke resplendent, hadn't seen its kind. Not a cloud in sight hides the rays from me Nothing weighs my legs lest I trip & fall Left cares behind, I am buoyed with glee Oh, the thrill I feel when I reach the wall To block my fall awaits my belov'd Paul. Into his arms I fall— my belov'd Paul Anoints me with kisses and tender quotes Let's seize the day, I tell him more enthralled He swings me up and plants me in the boat. We row for long hours, let our dreams set sail Until Sky turns orange and cobalt grey With ease, we berth, smile for what it entailed Few feet away stands the old Chevrolet Smiling, we skip along our merry way.
September 9th calls for a “Novelinee,” they tell me at dVerse Poets Pub — MTB: Something Novel in Lines:
Since today is the 9th of the 9th month it is fitting for that numeral to inform today’s poetry form – so let’s meet The Novelinee!
https://dversepoets.com/2021/09/09/mtb-something-novel-in-lines/
And I say, yup– Let’s Novelinee. Thanks, Laura.
It’s a new form for me, and I was audacious in attempting the two-stanza closed novelinee form that I present to you today. Not sure the iambic pentameter with alternate stresses works, but I share it anyway. Hope you enjoyed. Thanks.

I’m a simple woman who dares to see the beauty in ordinary. I’d love to connect with you and like pen pals, I want something beautiful to blossom between us. Will you join me? Selma is my middle name. Its meaning—peaceful, complete, are euphoric affirmations I like to think of myself as having. They compliment the joy I feel when I write. I sincerely hope you decide to join me on my writing journey. I Wish You Miracles.
