Emotions 

By Kat Myrman

Art from cliparts.co


A new form that I’m trying today…the Acrostic Poem. My samplings, a study in opposites…

SADNESS

Someday I hope you can remember
All the good things about us
Days of happiness, carefree, loving
Not that I want your pity
Everything happens for a reason
Still I miss how easily we fit
Seems we just outgrew one another.

HAPPINESS

How do I explain this
All-consuming feeling
Perfectly
Packaged
In a word
No single word is
Ever adequate
Sometimes
Simplicity, just being it, is best.

The Fourth Estate

By Kat Myrman


The Fourth Estate

If not for our brave Fourth Estate wielding
its ink-dipped sword of truth, we might
be relegated to alternate reality that
spews from lofty golden towers and
seeping bubbles oozing putrid slime.
Forever reign, oh Fourth Estate! Protect
us from the creeping goo that drips from
salivating tongues hungry for the souls
of fools who still believe the earth is
white and darkness dwells only in
light, where up is down and there is
when, who cling to lies of haughty
men, who slay the loathsome meek to
win, to fill their coffers to the brim…

We’re all but lost but for the brave
who rally at the gates of Hell, who scrape
away the dross and live to tell, who rise
up with tenacity for only they can keep
us free, speaking truth to power to the end.

Brilliance in Brokenness – Magnetic Poetry Saturday

By Kat Myrman


we are surrounded by
velvety air, blush with
flowery perfume and
the lingering breath of
decay, for life is a dance
of brilliance and brokenness,
just as the universe dazzles the
vast darkness with haunting
memories of dying stars

Ode to Spring – A Nonet

By Kat Myrman

Ode to days of inclement warming
when dew collects in fat droplets,
and green shoots burst from the earth;
buds bulge from fragile limbs,
birdsong on the wind.
When days grow long
and nights wane.
It’s time.
Spring!

Lantern Lanturnes

By Kat Myrman


For today’s poetry form I am revisiting the Lanturne. As with other little poetry forms you can’t have just one. Several is always a good number. 😉

-1-

Fog
lingers
but cannot
survive the sun’s
burn

-2-

Dew
settles
on roses
nectar of the
gods

-3-

truth
doesn’t
matter if
lies are given
sway

-4-

eyes
cannot
be windows
if they are slammed
shut

-5-

ears
that won’t
hear the truth
might as well be
deaf

-6-

joy
will be
elusive
to those who’ve lost
hope

-7-

you
unique
breathtaking
magnificent
you
