the calm
serenity
tempest coasting delusion
blue sky lull, sleepy denial
maybe the storm will pass

It was a beautiful day today. Looming in the back of everyone’s mind was the behemoth raging just off the coast. Florence they call her. Today was the calm before the storm. Is that really a thing? There are websites that discuss the concept. At least for us, during this time of waiting, it is real. Now we hope for the best.
Triskaidekaphobia
(a fear of the number thirteen)
thirteen
just a number
provoking fear, unlucky
as numbers go, it’s an outcast
silly superstition

great minds
may think alike
with no rebuttal, no debate
boring, it would seem, except life’s
too short to suffer fools

Epilogue
swan song,
aspirations
unfulfilled, denouement,
finale, final curtain drawn
too soon

A Cinquain for Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge-Synonyms Only: plan (aspiration) and finish (denouement, finale, swan song)
tempest
wide-eyed bluster
bellowing counter-clockwise
raging toward sleepy coastal shores
must get more milk and bread
~kat
like mercury colliding...
