Sunday’s Week in ReVerse – 25 March 2018

It’s been a wild week weather-wise. Springlike warm, cold grey, snowing, blossom laden trees, bent to breaking, forced resignations, faux news-hack hirings, stolen elections, widget tariffs, market crashes, reality show drama, porn stars, playboy bunnies, temper tantrums, vetoes, kids in the streets acting like adults, adults checked out, on recess, golfing, Lenten vespers swelling, alms of palm, stormy weather looming…blue skies dazzling, melting snow.

It’s been a crazy week for the weather. But spring is coming! It’s just a matter of time, they tell us…just a matter of time.

Sunday’s Week in ReVerse – 25 March 2018

seems odd, quite out of place
springtime’s first dazzling sight
magic is in the air
Are you kidding me?!
just one more minute’s snooze
equal parts luck and timing
lost hope and pipe dreams collect
the edge of lunacy
calendars say it’s spring
my favorite place…
weighed down, bent to breaking
the treasure was long gone
don’t say I didn’t warn ya’
the orange fool went mad
assimilation
beautiful roses
they’ve no place called home
diversity’s extolled,
clouds of grey, muted light
a thousand whispers
night lingering

A ReVerse poem is a summary poem with a single line lifted from each entry of a collection of work over a particular timeframe and re-penned in chronological order as a new poem. Unlike a collaborative poem, the ReVerse features the words of one writer, providing a glimpse into their thoughts over time. I use it as a review of the previous week.


Essence #25

dawn’s first blush, muted hues,
ice-kissed hush, sunlit blues

Day 25 for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge. Not the storm of the century predicted, but lovely in the afterglow.


Essence #21


calendars say it’s spring
but today, it’s snowing

Day 21 for Jane Dougherty’s daily Essence poem challenge…another sign that winter is a rude guest that has no trouble wearing out his welcome. I admit he looks beautiful doing it, but I am so over him!


Just Magic

serendipity,
equal parts luck and timing
could be just magic

For Ronovan Writes Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge. Prompt words: chance (serendipity) and equal. This is a photo I took this morning. Raindrops on pine needles. But as I prepared the artwork I was surprised to see a faerie face looking back at me! Can you see it too? I love when that happens…serendipity…or could be just magic! 🧚🏽‍♀️


Essence #20

just one more minute’s snooze
or rise before dawn cues

And Essence for Day 20 of Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge. My internal clock is still rebelling against the daylight saving time change. This was the view of the window from my pillow when my alarm clock went off at 6 am. The days are not long enough yet. Or maybe I am getting too close to retirement to maintain the grind. Five more years and counting…unless the government decides to raise the retirement age…or take away social security benefits…or both. Until them I am a prisoner of the clock next to my bed and the time clock at the office. 😦 But when I am off the clock…oh…then I write! 🙂
