A little light hearted poem from my book for World Poetry Day.
Poetic Confusion
Tried to write a sonnet,
Was on it like a car bonnet.
But whatever I wrote
Every scribble and note,
Didn’t rhyme at the end
Drove me round the bend!
Tried a haiku,
What to do?
Five, seven, five
Yet still I strive
To work it out,
I have my doubts…
Ballad, ode, elegy,
Epic, lyrical poetry
Epigram, allegory,
Irony, cacophony.
Terza rima, doggerel
Or an ABC poem.
So many poems, what to write?
Is it wrong? Is it right?
I’ll write like me
That’s best, you see
I’ll rhyme and vent
To my hearts content!

A little political tanka

Oh those days of old
When kings ruled with iron fists
How those times have changed
Now Presidents and PMs
Lead the way and rule or lives

And a romantic haiku

The king to my queen
But not only for a day
For eternity

Sue’s #writephoto prompt this week.
Spring forth with new life
Drink from me to renew self
Feel energy soar
~~~
But drink sparingly
Drops are better than huge gulps
Just enough for you
~~~
Remember the words
Enough’s as good as a feast
Too much, you’ll regret

Wednesday means it’s #writespiration time!
Sacha’s prompt this week…
This week, we’re playing a game. *muhahahaha* Write your 52 words describing just one emotion, BUT you’re not allowed to use the name of the emotion or tell me what it is. I want to guess.
I hope I did this right!
Each second passing feels like an hour.
My stomach is twisting up in knots.
My fists clench and loosen, then clench again.
Unknowingly I begin to nibble at the dry skin on my lips.
Looking up at the clock, I almost gasp.
It’s time.
I pick up the phone and hit ‘call’.

Dedicated to my Hubby Dearest. I hope our love is everlasting ❤
I’ll hold your hand
For a lifetime, I promise you
I’ll share your ebbs and flows
You’re my lifeline, I cherish you
I’ll love you no matter what
You’re my heartbeat, I need you
I’ll be there for eternity
You are me, I am you
