maybe tomorrow…

By Kat Myrman 
maybe tomorrow…

waiting,
life spent standing in line,
plans on hold, delaying,
wasting moments in time
long held dreams, forsaking

The Bob and Wheel

The bob and wheel, which has its origins in mediaeval poetry and song, takes its name from the craft of spinning. It consists of five lines; a short (two or three syllable) first line followed by four lines of six syllables each. The first, third and fifth lines rhyme, as do the second and fourth lines. We can present this schematically as follows:

xxA

xxxxxB

xxxxxA

xxxxxB

xxxxxA

if angels were birds

if angels were birds

turtle doves
adorned in gray, mourning,
messengers from above
coo-cooing come morning
bearers of peace and love

broken

By Kat Myrman 
broken

eyes of blue
bluer still, when she cries
her glance will pierce you through
especially when you’re why
she’s broken-hearted…you…

doors

By Kat Myrman 
doors

knock knock
now you’re supposed to say
who’s there, join in, or not
a game we used to play
before all doors were locked

fatale

By Kat Myrman 
fatale

she smiles
melting my heart, her eyes
sparkling, pure joy, while
the world blurs from view, I’m
powerless to her wiles
