Indicted

Indicted 

The koolaid served was very strong
lulling sleepy fools along
to them, their guy could do no wrong 
but the truth will set them free.

At least I can hope. Stepping of the nature path I’ve been on of late to write about the long awaited glimmer of the potential of justice. I’m hesitant to breathe just yet, but the US headline this evening is good news for those of us who care about democracy and the rule of law. I may not be able to breathe just yet but I could be heard squeaking out a “yeah!”…oh alright it was a big YEAH! Finally. But tentatively hopeful the news of today makes a difference. Time will tell. The clock is ticking.

The Ovi, is a lyrical folk song form with one or more stanzas with the rhyme scheme AAAb; CCCd: EEEf, etc, with 8 or fewer syllables per line. Themes for the Ovi include love, social irony or heroic events.

Grandma Hugs

Grandma Hugs

I’ve settled softly into my skin
it’s been a while since I was thin
and when I smile I wear a double chin
but I’m just right for grandma hugs!

Inspired by the Ovi, a lyrical folk song form with one or more stanzas with the rhyme scheme AAAb; CCCd: EEEf, etc, with 8 or fewer syllables per line. ( I bent the rules a bit on that last point, but I followed the rules for rhyme!) Themes for the Ovi include love, social irony or heroic events.

clouds

By Kat Myrman 
wild cloud blooms are
a wonder to behold 
deep and dark
light and bright
in harmony with the
breeze…the soul of rain

sunset after the storm
casts a warm, amber glow
a magnificent show
the sky at dusk

fine

By Kat Myrman 
fine

the words roll off your tongue
a bit too easily 
sorry, i don’t believe
that you’re “okay”

or “fine”, that, “it’s all good” 
we both know that it’s not
you seem to have forgot
i’m here for you…

not going anywhere
so tell me once again
i’m listening, my friend
this time…the truth

‘cause you’re not sparing me
i’m stronger that you think
i’ll hold you at the brink
and won’t let go
