be gentle with yourselves my dears
everyone has imperfections
you deserve the warm affection
of that person in the mirror
everyone has imperfections
be gentle with yourselves my dears

The Biolet (a shorter version of the Triolet) is a poem of 6 lines, typically of eight syllables each, rhyming ABbaBA and so structured that the first line recurs as the sixth and the second as the fifth.
with a kiss we bid adieu
to another year, now spent,
pour the bubbly, raise your flutes,
sing for auld lang syne

And it’s a wrap! 2018 is ticking to a close (thank goodness!) and this month’s exploration of the poetry form called a Dodoitsu. I’m also thanking goodness for that too. It’s an ok form as forms go, but I think I’ve written enough dodoitsus to last a lifetime! Well, 31 to be exact. Like I said! 🤪)
Wishing you and those you love a bright and happy new year filled with peace, happiness, good health and prosperity. 2019…ready or not, here we come! 😊
trilling songbirds greet the dawn
on this balmy winter’s day
bitter chill’s on holiday
lovely, too soon spring

Counting the Ways
clearing my windshield at dawn
coffee for two, fixing things,
you don’t have to say a word
or three, I hear you
~kat
what need have I for flowers,
fancy gifts or dinners out,
they’re just things, silly, really,
and they are not you

like mercury colliding...
