Dull

By Kat Myrman

8ball

Some prefer routine
dependable
halcyon
rigid
dull
give me
the thrilling
chaotic bliss
of uncertainty!

A new form created by Jane Dougherty called the Hourglass. Here are the guidelines:

  • The form: ten lines with a syllable count of 5.4.3.2.1.2.3.4.5.
  • Remember to centre the poem to get the hourglass shape.
  • Try making the word in the middle a pivotal word that sends the poem off in a different direction.

Echoes of my Neighborhood

By Kat Myrman

So…with talk of Spring and warmer temperatures my mind is drifting from my cold, damp neighborhood to memories of Hatteras Island and the Rodanthe Pier…and the BEACH! A favorite vacation spot! It won’t happen this year…but a girl can dream! 🙂

To see other “Neighborhoods” visit my friend Jacqueline’s blog HERE.

Twenty-Nine

Our days are numbered
blissful routine midst chaos
beware the leaper!

Finding Bliss

By Kat Myrman

Sages, Greek, surmised that happiness can’t be controlled
Mere random acts of favor from the gods on us bestowed.
But current thought has turned a page
Pursuit of bliss is all the rage
Where legislators wield the power once held by gods of old.

Sunday’s Week in Verse – 3 January 2016

By Kat Myrman

Happy 2016! This week’s review is balanced on the cusp of the past and the future…2015 and 2016…out with the old and in with the new! I found myself feeling ever mindful of the present moment. To pause, to breathe and to savor the bliss and happiness to be found in the messiness of life. What a ride! Fasten your seat belts kiddos! Here we go! 🙂

Sunday’s Week in Verse – 3 January 2016

It’s all vanity
Live a life of much less stress
fading petals left there hanging.
Now, I’m not so sure…
like tender kisses
find bliss.
I’m so happy for you…
I think you’re gonna want to see this!
Forget your plans and silly lists
Did you know that is a thing?!
I think I’ll call it “Purple Haze!”
Free souls will spill out.
Jars of savory, sweet spice
The best containers…
life, precious, messy life, is so worth living!

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 to prepare for the upcoming week with a clean slate.
