selfish on her grace she's capricious each moment a trap for the eyes
Tanka Tuesday this week invites us to play with words. I love to write found poetry, and this is similar. She gave us a list of words to pick three or more and write a poem. I’ve chosen: selfish, capricious and trap. These beautiful yellow flowers are in a pot on my desk, I’m enchanted by their beauty, so this poem is for them. The words are below, why don’t you give it a try?
Saturday morning! I had a busy week and only now I’m catching up with this week’s writing challenges.
listen to me in a world without gods cherish love because it transcends matter, time and space it keeps us going, it fills us with optimism it’s the ultimate resource for survival in a forgotten world as a breeze carrying seed to a distant land love spreads infinite hope when the spell is broken look up at the stars memories of scattered love will spring from the universe and fill up your soul you will keep that moment forever ever and find the goddess inside your pure being waiting to be pleased a constellation of joy will guide you
I hope you enjoyed my poem and have a great weekend,
E.
tied hands words won't save her in luxuriousness the answer is in the background despair the desired freedom will meet her far away the sea waits looking for hope it's time
Have you listened to poems instead of reading them? Last night I listened to two poems, the reader had a calm voice, and she advised us to close our eyes. It was such a powerful experience, a burst of creativity. Before sleeping I wrote the poem below, I had in mind the prompt for the 99-word challenge, Lady Shadow, and also I thought it is perfect for the Moonwashed challenge, Evolve.
You are not alone Within you There is a woman The true version of yourself The one that lurks in the dark The one that steps side by side with you The one that sees what you don’t see But remains quiet The one that talks to you through dreams and nightmares The one that holds you when you need it most You are not alone Listen to her and evolve The wise words of someone that sees the truth The shadow woman Carrying the experience of generations The ones that were here before you You are not alone
dark and cloudy days i'm scribbiling down the dreams spring isn't far away
I downloaded this book last night! I read it in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down!
Lots of wonderful short stories about winter magic. It contains explanations for many Celtic terms, such as Yule, Solstice …, and the meaning of winter decorations we add to our house. And it has recipes! I can’t wait to try some of them.
And of course, being Colleen’s book it has to have poetry. Many beautiful poems in there, and the illustrations are lovely.
The poem below is an example of all the goodness you will find in this book.
twilight light from within candlelight and journal the thoughts are scribbled and sorted hurry a healthy breakfast and lunch prep flying as butterfly the office waits morning
Tanka Tuesday prompt is ‘share your day’. I have written a butterfly cinquain to describe a little bit of my early mornings.
transient as a scent a journey back to the past memories flashing
Gray tones, the closet is loaded
no feelings and expression in there
only a uniform for blending and never being seeing
between red, green, yellow, and pink
the gray scarf shall be chosen
blending, unseeing
red shoes, heels and lust the hidden shine of the past it will be revealed
The gray scarf is the Theme Prompt for Tanka Tuesday this week.
come all together together we are stronger strong as our pure faith the enemy is coming coming to break out our peace
