Some days life can be a challenge...

"The Challenge" Her face is pushed against the clear, hard glass Her eyes stare, fish-like, flat and magnified. Two mice give her no notice as they pass; they pull unoccupied cobwebs aside. Her hair is scrambled, tangled, now in whirls; Her head is jammed with little bobbie pins and poked, her scalp... Sign in to see full entry.

More Autumn leaves. Maybe I'll just write a book entitled Autumn Poetry

Autumn’s Art Gold visions gleam Among greener trees Whisper the coming frostbit Leaf. Leaf Flutters midst the late sun’s glow Catching yellow hues’ flickering gold. (This is an interesting form: called a "Mirrored/Oddquain" poem=2 stanzas. Syllable count: 1,3,5,7,1 and 1,7,5,3,1 Reminds me of... Sign in to see full entry.

another autumn leaf poem; one cannot have too many, you know...

"I Will Marry the Oak" Your struggle to hold on; my loyal oak; You have more heart than most; my charming knight. The winds of Autumn now blast ev'ry bloke who'd stand against the Winter's wicked blight. Old Coldness comes to freeze out all the heart; to strip the leaves and tear them one by one....

Stitching things together...

Have taken a vacation from poetry for the past couple of days... Making a Halloween costume for my son. He wants a man's tailored coat made from a roll of silver, snake-design, HEAVY, patterned wallpaper of all things! Never refusing my son anything, I have made an honest attempt. The darn coat has...

Sistina is 39 lines . First 6 end words in first stanza is REPEATED for

five more stanzas. This poem is not for the cowardly to write. "Requiem for a Bedbug" “Diatomaceous Earth Edible for Bed Bugs”, blinked sparkling signs in the city: “Let them eat Earth, they shall bite me no more!” Marie Antoinette, she snored for a while as little vampires ate her, banquet style....

Another sonnet; this time about my Dad and myself...

"The Photograph" I sit in baby rocker, innocent. Though picture lost, stays in my memory. A view of Dad and me, before youth spent. Our hearts, so close together, happily. He bends; his giant hands hold back of chair. I'm six months old and hug a rabbit's ear. Dad's face and youth crouch near to me,... Sign in to see full entry.

More Sonnet practice for me...(I plan on being an expert some day)...

"Between Two Worlds" Though heaven may be grace-filled for the soul, my heart will hover, halting near this earth. Unless you, only love, are there to hold, my courage dare not leap beyond this berth. My life has need for your familiar ground. I want no more than comfort from your kiss. You are the...

Bromeliad, Bromeliad, Bromeliad (love the word)

Bromeliad, Cryptanthus (Greek) meaning "hidden flower" Photo by Casey. "The Garden Wizard" Stirs my garden elf... grows bud to violets-bold! Now her daisy's gold oozes up from dampened earth grateful for the air! A wondrous magic unfolds by God's own mystical hand. The Bromeliads just bloomed... Sign in to see full entry.

A halloweenie type poem: "Toes and Elbows"

Silence fell across Emma's witchy territory: toes, elbows in cauldron cook. Dark amulet eyes shine as black crystal in defiance of the insult thrown; double-bubbled from another planet in space where evil thoughts, extant, are devil-stirred and meaning twisted; traced. Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I've been writing poetry daily for the past two years. I like Japanese Haiku. I'm currently in love with Iambic Pentameter and the Shakespearean Sonnet. I make it a practice to write at least one sonnet per day.
