Sunday Week in Review – 1 November 2015

A curious week this was, what with a full moon, and Halloween, thinning veils and spooky themes. It made for quite an interesting verse in review, but as it always seems to, this week makes perfect sense in retrospect. And so we settle in to begin a new week and a new month. Darker, shorter days and cooling temperatures. Hope you had a great week too! 😊 See you on the other side!

Sunday Week in Review – 1 November 2015

She was a collector of old things,
Tomorrow
Nips at our heels
With troubles
That can
Wait.
The footsteps behind her got faster.
deep cerulean on white
Next time you decide to be a hero, let someone know!
her reflection lied
But it is the photo pictured above that he carries with him always.
Someone really should move that old chair
but don’t intrude
the spirit world encroaches
“Unbelievable!” he cried.
moonglow and cricket song
and at the shore i like my
sea to foam in azure mist,
The choir sweetly sang
avoiding every sidewalk crack
They’ll find you my sweet.

If you’re new to this blog, a bit of background to explain the verse above. It is a line from each poem or prose from the previous week. Lifted and placed in the order written. A snapshot review of the week. It helps me clean the slate…reflect and ready myself for the new week.

Sunday Week in Review -25 October 2015

By Kat Myrman

What an interesting week! When it began I didn’t know that my life would be changing by week’s end. Yet here I am on the other side with another little soul to care for. Lucy is home with us now. There was also the closing of a chapter, but not of a dream. The dream lives in the words spilled out on the “pages” of this blog.

I learned a new poetry style, the “sept” which I truly enjoy, and I learned a new word that I shall likely never use. But that being said, I am glad to have learned it. Life is about always learning and transition and change.

Would it be an overstatement to say that a lifetime was packed into this short seven days? Perhaps. But that is how eternity works. 🙂

If you’re new to this blog, a bit of background to explain the verse below. It is a line from each poem or prose from the previous week. Lifted and placed in the order written. A snapshot review of the week. It helps me clean the slate…reflect and ready myself for the new week.

Have a wonderful week ahead. I’ll see you on the other side 🙂

Week in Review ~ 25 October 2015

Hearts exposed
Fulfilling
Hopes and
Dreams
Separate
Once, now
One.
it’s okay to grieve.
‘midst the din of rousing cheers!
I can listen
in silence we knew
In lay terms, he was a butterfly chaser!
souls sucked deep into the grid
It will change their life…and yours!
Apply coercive herd management techniques if necessary.
one really can’t blame him for his scheme!
How audacious of me to think it, but oh, if it could be me she chooses!”
Icing on the cake.

Sunday’s Week in Review 18 October 2015

By Kat Myrman

Late night, or rather, early morning post…
What an interesting week! As usual the compilation of a line from each post waxes a bit poetic in a quirky sort of way. It reads like a snapshot to me. In fact when I read it I thought, “This is so me!” At least for this week. And about that word quirky…I’m curious now..must look up its origin. Whoever thought of it…I think I like them! 🙂

grief consoled by Pines.
how can you miss someone you’ve never met?
It suits me, don’t you think?
I don’t know how I got here.
All things are worthy
Maybe that is the point.
She’s a late bloomer
A rogue or scoundrel
Whoever thinks reptiles don’t snuggle has never had a tortoise whisper sweet nothings in their ear.

Sunday Week in Review – 11 October 2015

By Kat Myrman

Weird week. Crazy crazy busy at my day job. Long hours, squeezing flash fiction and haiku prompts and challenges in during breaks and upon rising and settling in. Midweek I was beginning to think I might not have a creative unprompted thought left in my head. But by week’s end a few beautiful words managed to spill out.

After a week like this, what you get is a cacophony of brain splatter that has no business making any sense at all…and yet, I kind of get what my subconscious is trying to tell me. Busy as it was, it was a very good week. And I’m learning to go with the flow. ☺️

elucidate the fine points
have a listen for yourself.
the orchestra erupted into a cacophony of dissonant notes,
One day he would thank her for leaving.
It was the happiest place she could think of
Hanging on was a bad idea.
The veil is thinning
To be tumescent
Charmed to earth by gravity
free to speak
in bellowing
whispers a
symphony of
tears…
It is no secret
Surrender
“It’s enough.” She lied.

In case you are new here and wonder what the jumbled verse above is all about…

It is my weekly practice to lift a verse or line from each post from the previous week for a collective “look back”. It’s my way of clearing my head so I am open and ready for the coming week.

With that said, I’d like to wish you a great next week! 💕 As for me, I’m planning on fabulous! 😊

Sunday Week in Review – 4 October 2015

By Kat Myrman

It is time again to reflect on the past week. A week drenched in tropical downpours and oceans of tears…a week of innocence lost and lives ended too soon…a week set in the afterglow of a blood moon eclipse.

As I do every week, lifting a verse from each post, one would expect the randomness of each line to be a mismatch of disconnected thoughts, but as often is true, they somehow intertwine to present a coherent review. This week surprised me again in heart-rending poignancy…

A life too soon stilled
an exercise in simplicity
the eclipsing moon-glow swells
to oppose tides of group think…They risked everything for a dream
It wasn’t always so
“I leave all my worldly possessions…”
brain unhinged, delirious
that never ends well
a touch of rebellion…
For all I hear
and all I know
is that the gate
is set to close.
a million tiny deaths…

We can hope for a better next week, lulled by the promise of silver linings. As for me, a simple break in the clouds…a bit of sunlit cerulean peeking through…is enough to energize me, burning off any weariness I might carry from this past week. With that, as another week approaches, I shall set my heart on seeking the light. 😊
