new life sometimes emerges in peace lily pots beaks in bloom midst the foliage

It’s been a few weeks since our resident Carolina wren began to roost keeping vigil over what we think is 4 eggs deposited in the nest she and her mate crafted in my flower pot. Right on time the chicks have emerged from their shells. Two weeks or so to fledgling day! We feel so honored that they are willing to share the back porch with us. What a miracle to behold!
The Fib
A syllabic form based on the Fibonacci Sequence: 1/1/2/3/5/8.
I couldn’t decide this week. I liked several lines in each poem so I wrote two ReVerse poems…or maybe it is one poem with two stanzas with a refrain line in each stanza midway through. For that poem there was one clear favorite…waiting for answers…
That single line captures this past week for me. Actually we did get some answers this past week. Which has led to more question of course. But answers are always good, even if it’s not the answer you wanted or hoped for.
I hope next week is a good one for you. I haven’t decided what form I’m going to explore this coming week. Figure I’ll sleep on it and see what my dreams conjure up.
Peace, love and happiness to you and yours.
ReVerse Poem ~ Sunday, 16 July 2023
unwinding at dusk spinning swirls of cream it’s still dark outside waiting for answers flashes of as maybe tomorrow… rising from the loam
birdsong in the air the sound of you leaving when the alarm screams waiting for answers that rattle the walls where dreams go to die no relief from the heat

A ReVerse poem (a practice I started many years ago) is a summary poem with a single line lifted from each entry of a collection of work over a particular timeframe and re-penned in chronological order as a new poem. Unlike a collaborative poem, the ReVerse features the words of one writer, providing a glimpse into their thoughts over time.
The Tableau, a poetry form created by Emily Romano in October of 2008, consists of one or more verses, each having six lines. Each line should have five beats. There is no set rhyme scheme, although rhyme may be present. The title should contain the word tableau.
Since the dictionary states the word tableau means picture or representation, the poem should reflect this. A picture should come to mind as the poem is read.
So it is easier for you to find all the parts/chapters of my ongoing fiction series, I created a new page that lists all the links. You can check it out HERE!
