Dandy shoots dot the lawn,
weedy roots, spring is on!

Day 9 of Jane Dougherty’s Essence Poetry Challenge to write a short poem a day. Crazy weather! Blizzard, white-out conditions for a few hours yesterday and this morning, I woke to sunshine with a yard full of dandelions! Sunday and Monday is looking grim…more snow in the forecast! 😳
‘twas a bad election
that reeked of deception
surreality reigned trumping the rule,
cowards appeased the vain whims of a fool
‘twas a bad election

A new form I came up with, just for fun, in response to a creative brainstorming discussion with my friend Jane Dougherty. :). It’s subject is not related to gasoline, but it is about a thing I find quite distasteful. 😉 I’m calling it an Inverted Limerick:
Line 1 – 5-7 syllables
Line 2 – 5-7 syllables
Line 3 – 7-10 syllables
Line 4 – 7-10 syllables
Line 5 – 5-7 syllables
Rhyme pattern: A-a-bb-A (line one is repeated on the last line).
iced fury, wintry rush,
snow flurried, spring’s first blush

Photo taken on my way to work today, for Jane Dougherty’s daily poetry challenge, an Essence poem (not a florette, which is actually a longer form.) Henceforth, March’s daily poems will be labeled Essence poems. And they are still as challenging as ever! 😊
wasted hours can’t be seized
time devoured ne’er retrieved

For Jane Dougherty’s Daily Florette Challenge.
it is heartening
to see the spirited young
rally for justice
but we are jaded, hoping
reality doesn’t win
they are dazzling
reminding us of ourselves
before life happened

For Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge using synonyms of the words renew: hearten, rally and fresh: young, spirited, dazzling.
