Florescence – Day 30

By Kat Myrman

there’s a calming hush
at dawn before the rush,
sparkling vistas, green lush, fragrant air

~kat

For Jane…Florescence Month was a fun! Thanks for taking the lead and introducing this new poetry form for us to enjoy. I will definitely keep the florescence in my bag of tricks for when I need a fun little poem form. I can’t leave without just one more florescence. I’ll be watching to see if you come up with a short form for May. 😉

Today is bittersweet…
though this task is complete
florescence month was neat…on to May!

The Fool – NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 27

By Kat Myrman

on the fringe
boundaries, unimpinged,
the alchemist follows his bliss

a dapper fool who peers into the dark abyss,
dares the fates and leaps on wings of faith; does all this
innocence intact, not jaded

safety’s overrated
impavid

NaPoWriMo 2017 Day 27 – Prompt: pick a card (any card) from this online guide to the tarot, and then to write a poem inspired either by the card or by the images or ideas that are associated with it.

I found a site where I could pick a random card for more of a challenge and, as the cards would have it, I chose the Fool. (Why am I not surprised!) I also decided to try a challenging new poetry form (I’m crazy that way 😉) called a Trois-par-Huit (Three-by-Eight or Octa-Tri for short) by Lorraine M. Kanter.

The Sweater

By Kat Myrman

The Sweater

Sometimes I wrap myself in thin
green, shetland, stiff with age, smelling
of moth balls and stale dust,
to remember. It’s all I have left
of you…a sweater that’s starting to
unravel along the edges. Like you,
those final years, unraveling,
spiraling into an abyss so deep,
none of us could have saved you.
I know that now. It’s strange.
Your sweater, just an old wooly
rag really, hints of Old Spice
aftershave wafting, when I press my
face into its course, wiry fibers, has
saved me from the edge more
than a few times. I guess that’s why
I can’t part with it.
I suppose I never will.

For NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 26. Prompt: write a poem that includes images that engage all five senses.

Florescence Day 26

By Kat Myrman

Stigma, wet with nectar,
anther spore seducer,
c’est le sweet spot d’une fleur, ooh-la-la!

Florescence Day 25

By Kat Myrman

Time for a cute kitten photo…I’m so…so…over it.

I’m weary of the lies
of fake news, of fact guise
where most anything flies, pigs and crime

~kat

Every so often I need to vent…today for instance. And I’m tired of writing about the weather and the flowers. Here then is Florescence Day 25 for Jane’s Daily Florescence challenge. Taking a deep breath in…now out. I feel a bit better now. 😉
