stripped lean from winter’s pruning

Daily Lune #1
lush, green canopy
sunlight stream
flush of the morning

For June…a Lune! I had suggested a Lune to Jane Dougherty for our daily short form poetry challenge. The Lune is a three line poem, either 5/3/5 syllables or 3/5/3 words. Jane went for the word form today. I opted for the syllable style. Please join us! I like the idea of a short poem written daily.
To Be – A Haiku
to be, just, to be
liberated souls gather
where the hearth glows warm

Persuaded – A Haiku

i am persuaded
that no thing is important
it’s true, things perish

Merlin – 42 Day 31
no concept
of personal space
nudging closer, closer
sprawled on my chest
heavy feet kneading rhythmically
nose to nose, breath to breath

Here we are on the last day of Jane Dougherty’s Daily Poem Challenge, “42”. I am certain that there are many questions left unanswered, even after an exhaustive 31 day effort. I had several unfinished drafts in my notebook. This one seemed to me to be a perfect one to finish and end on. My cat Merlin has a way of putting things into perspective for me when I become too bothered with the questions of life. His message, I am sharing with you today…
“You don’t have anywhere you need to be ‘mon chéri’ (yes, he talks to me this way…), except right here. Let me feel your fingers behind my ears and along my back as I press my paws against your soft flesh. All you need to do this minute, my dear Kat, is look deeply into my eyes and breathe…in and out…slowly…just breathe…your questions and their answers can wait.”
It’s been fun Jane. Thanks for the poetry form prompt. 🙂
