Being Social
so, you think you know me
by a profile pic, taken in soft light,
angled just so…smoke and mirrors
I’ll tell you a secret…
my sleeve bleeds thoughts, words
that spill out on blank, pressed pages

Being Social – 42 Day 4
42 Day 3 – Why Indeed!
Why Indeed!
Why do I work day in day out
Toil through numbers, crashing
crisis to crisis, teetering on red
To present a black ebitda to
dissatisfied, greedy share hoarders
To pay the rent…to eat their crumbs

42 Day 3 for Jane’s Daily Poem Challenge. Taking my prompt from one of our recent comment discussions with an actual question posed.
42 – Day 2
I could be wrong
lacking key facts
swayed by assumption, but
my intuition says
not this time, trust me
and I do

Day 2 of the “42” for Jane Dougherty’s May Daily Poetry Challenge featuring a Cherita that begs a question.
42 – Day 1
I wonder what you’re thinking
grey, fluffy cat, looming,
eyes wide, black; tail twitching
could it be you’re plotting
your escape, or my demise
I know, I know…it’s dinner time

For Jane Dougherty’s May Daily Poetry Challenge “42”. This one is tricky. We start with a Cherita which is a short poem that tells a story. It consists of a one-line stanza, followed by a two-line stanza, and then finishing with a three-line stanza. Sounds easy, right? Jane added an extra challenge. For May’s Cherita? the first line asks a question or makes a statement that begs a question, the second stanza/two lines sets the scene or the background, the last stanza/three lines answers the question or resolves it in some way.
The hardest part for me was coming up with a question! Fortunately I live in a house full of animals. They are always doing things that make me wonder. One question down, 30 more to go. Maybe we’ll solve the mystery of the universe this month. Or maybe not. Thanks Jane. This one’s a challenge. And you know I love a good one. 🙂
Florescence – Day 30
there’s a calming hush
at dawn before the rush,
sparkling vistas, green lush, fragrant air

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!
