Florette #6

grey clouds descend again
bleak shrouds of frozen rain

For Jane Dougherty’s Daily Florette Challenge…#6 in the series. 🙂


Florette #3

soft the light plays, dawning
dreams give way to longing

For Jane Dougherty’s Poem-a-Day Challenge…Florette #3…28 to go. 🤔


Florette #2

full-faced moon, lucent dreams
clouds race on tempest streams

~kat

A blustery nor’easter raged into town last night under the light of March’s first Full Worm Moon. The howling noise kept my dogs alert and close by on this sleepless night. This is Day 2 of this challenging poetry form inspired by Jane Dougherty, who I am convinced is a sadist or masochist, or both, for having suggested this two-lined beast. 🙂 Just kidding…all in fun Jane…you know I am always up for a challenge. 🙂


Cherita 11 and a half

beware the quick nap

the nod, the doze
seeking REM on the fly

only to wake hours later
a sweaty blob in a puddle of drool
REM interrupted

This is the moderated version of today’s mind cloud. I thought better of posting my initial Cherita after sleeping on it a brief bit. You are spared. Today’s entry could have been a vile drip from the recesses of my brain…

only the finest

expletives
rip from my sharpe tongue

giving a damn often leads to losing one’s shit
but it is the exquisitely satisfying fucking, fucked, flying fuck
that illustrates my delicate emotions magnificently

oops, did I just ‘write’ that…out loud?!!!

It’s been one of those days…

no filter


Elemental Rain ~ A Cherita

softly

daubs of hydrogen
and oxygen times two

raining
life, encapsulated
in droplets, bursting
