here now

here now

heaven
is but a breath away
not a destination
one hopes to go one day
it’s here in this moment

…and a few more, since I was feeling inspired, to round out this week of exploring the Bob and Wheel. Next week I’m revisiting the Kimo! See you Monday!


new day

at dawn
lush green, drenched in dew
trees erupt in birdsong
golden streams breaking through
a new day has begun


perfection

i see you
when you don’t notice me
i know you well, your truths,
your vulnerabilities
perfection shining through

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


Do say!

Do say!

whispering
makes listeners wonder
sets tongues a-twittering
rumbling like thunder
the gossips blithering

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

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

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