Thought I’d try a new one, this week, Ronovan has a Decima challenge.
A different type of syllabic poetry, with a rhyming structure as well.
Décima poetry is a 10 line stanza with 8 syllables per line. The rhyming pattern is abbaaccddc. Using the 10 lines there are generally two ways to organize: The 10 lines, or breaking the 10 lines into two stanzas using abba/accddc.
Ronovan Hester
This week, the prompt is Blind, and it needs to be used in one of the C lines.
Here goes….!
Everything seems just so surreal When will this world begin to heal? Politics covering the truth Blaming the aged, and the youth We try to see, they just conceal I feel like I am going blind Maybe I am losing my mind My thoughts muddle with one another Feelings that I try to smother But it’s just life, the daily grind Ritu 2020
But I Smile Anyway...

Nicely done. A take on the theme that was rolling around in this empty head of mine that I hadn’t considered. Politics was definitely the inspiration, I just wondered what people would do with it. Thank you so much for joining in with this and with the Haiku. It’s been way too long since one of my originals participated.

The old and the young at not to be blamed. Poor leadership in Washington for 20 years. President Clinton, left no debt, few on welfare and a content USA. No wars. We will outlive the liars my dear friend. We are stronger than we know.

It is a very confusing time indeed. Regular daily things but still not the normal and the confusion about the measures too. This all appears to me like a storm building up which may initiate big healing and calm after.
