sultry days, sizzling nights,
steamy sapphire sky.

Liberation
Painting by Odilon Redon
Vessels brimming, fragrant with tradition
Like daughters before
They’ll journey from the safety of the shore
So to learn to trust their intuition,
Shattering patriarchal restrictions,
Like daughters before.

For Jane Dougherty’s poetry prompt, “Journey”, inspired by this painting, a Rondelet.
The Rondelet is a French form consisting of a single septet with two rhymes and one refrain:AbAabbA. The capital letters are the refrains, or repeats. The refrain is written in tetra-syllabic or dimeter and the other lines are twice as long – octasyllabic or tetrameter.
Heart Music

the dance doesn’t end
when you can’t hear the music
listen to your heart!

No Words – A Trilonnet
For Jane Dougherty’s latest poetry challenge to write a Trilonnet beginning with the opening phrase, “the light is gone…”
Struggling this week to find the Muse midst overwhelming workplace drama and our nation’s polarizing rage. I think I might need to stop watching the news and reading company memos. Ignorance is bliss!
The light is gone, there are no words
as grief’s consuming shroud descends
and swelling tears cascade like rain
The reaper’s sickle sweeps again
more innocents will meet their end,
our vain laments will go unheard
the aftermath’s familiar dirge
as liberty clouds common sense,
unanswered why’s and how’s remain,
no consolation for the pain,
resigned there’ll be no recompense
for terrorism’s bloody scourge.
A consequence of apathy,
thus doomed to repeat history.

Corporate Collateral
From PublicDomainPictures.net
It’s like loosing one’s
footing, free
falling, breaching
the skin of a bottomless
abyss, plunging into
frigid nothingness, recoiling
against the smacking,
sting, limbs flailing, eyes
clenched shut, lungs
bursting, spinning, spiraling,
suspended in forced
surrender…
there will most certainly be
casualties, necessary
collateral, reduced
redundancy, realigned
priorities, rendering of
irrelevant complexity
to satisfy some ravenous
bottom line, winners taking
all, where loyalty is
expected until
it’s not…
Some will surface quite unscathed
in safety nets of severance pay
some in self-survival mode
will find a way to stay afloat…
the rest will simply fade away
caught up in the undertow.
