Not a Florette but an Essence Poem #8

iced fury, wintry rush,
snow flurried, spring’s first blush

Photo taken on my way to work today, for Jane Dougherty’s daily poetry challenge, an Essence poem (not a florette, which is actually a longer form.) Henceforth, March’s daily poems will be labeled Essence poems. And they are still as challenging as ever! 😊


Florette #7

wasted hours can’t be seized
time devoured ne’er retrieved

For Jane Dougherty’s Daily Florette Challenge.


Florette #6

grey clouds descend again
bleak shrouds of frozen rain

~kat

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


Florette #3

soft the light plays, dawning
dreams give way to longing

~kat

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. 🙂
