Poetry Marathon Hour Six

I didn’t use the prompt. We had a pet die this morning and I chose to instead use my hour six poem to write about the chicken.

Nugget 

You were sweet and onery

Quick to escape and a little bit of fun.

We are sorry to see you go

You started out one of the most mean

Of the litter we received,,

But you mellowed quickly.

We named her nugget because

She was onery and quick witted,

Damn it nugget was often heard…

Now we say that for the tears

Cried because we miss you.

Your funeral pyre was glorious

Go ahead, show the gods

You are magnificent!

Poetry Marathon Hour Five

Music





Music is such a personal thing

Shared by the world

With each hearing it uniquely.




The dreams are nightmares collectively,

For the lyrics are interpreted

Quite different depending on

The soul.




Some just hear only the beat,

Others need the lyrics

To connect

Soulfully.

Poetry Marathon Hour Four

Marriage




Two souls intertwine,

The choices made

Were made combined.

Through the good,

The bad and the in between

I am with you and you are with me.




And if death does do us part,

Please know that with you

Goes my heart.




The vows were made in truest faith

Before family, friends, and all that came.

All the years, the struggles, the tears,

And not a thing would I change.

You and I are everything

That I wanted in my

Day to day.

Poetry Marathon hour Three

Looking Into the Void 




The edge is a tempting place

For me to go to scream,

Looking into the Void

I can scream about all the things

That I should somehow avoid.




The edge calls me forth,

The need to speak unto the void.

A eternity at my feet

With the wind pulling me

Towards the edge.

Poetry Marathon hour two

Who’s to Blame

The age old question is asked
Again and again,
Who’s to blame,
What is the fault?

So much blame to be handed about,
Instead of accepting that we all
Have a hand in the end results,
Instead of handing out blame
Why not allow humanity
Room for mistakes?

Poety Marathon hour one

About us draped the past




Please understand that we have always

Had the past wrapped around us,

Echoing the moments that we lived…




We wore it proudly because it made us

Into the people that we were,

Folding us like origami into individual selves…

Perhaps it was too heavy for some,

That cloak of memories,

But it still was a part

Of the way that

Humanity dressed.

Monday Poetry

Today is one of mine and one of Serena’s poems, Mostly because Serena has been writing more than I have. Her Midnight Verse is nearing done. I have barely started with Echoes.

Monday Poetry

I oopsed and undid my Monday poetry post from this week…so here it is again…one from me and one from Serena…

Wild Wednesday

I posted recently about evolution of poetry volumes.

I started Echoes into the void Yesterday(For me this is Sunday.)

And already the inspiration has been leaning towards a singular topic. That does not mean it will be the end theme…but that is often how it starts. I am amused by this.

And in Announcements – I have been approved to do the Poetry Marathon Half Marathon! I did it before in 2017. It is 12 poems in 12 hours. One an hour based on prompts given. I usually enjoy this sort of writing challenge. I will be posting the poems here as well. It is in September. (I have to look up the exact date again…So I will clarify more information closer to.)

Evolving poetry volumes

So I am done with the writing on Muse’s Masterpiece.

I will start Echoes tomorrow.

That being said… when I asked for a help to pick the next volume, I think that I miss-spoke. I always start with the idea that the volume is unthemed. (Unless I have a theme in mind) it evolves every time to bear a little bit of a theme.

I don’t do it on purpose.

I really don’t.

There is always some that don’t fit in the end exactly, but I don’t feel bad about it as it was not supposed to be a themed book to start with.

All of that being said… Muse’s Masterpiece seems to be mostly about answering the call of the creative muse.

Muse’s Masterpiece is scheduled for publishing in November (Link when I get it). And I will be writing on Echoes into the Void starting tomorrow. Maybe this one will not gather a theme on me.
