full-faced moon, lucent dreams
clouds race on tempest streams

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. 🙂
though cold winds
wildly rustle through
our souls, we are
warmed by love and
murmurs of spring

Silence, Waterfall and Forest by Arthur Bowen Davies
In the forest dark and deep
near an ancient rowan tree
she leans in so she can hear
faerie voices on the wind.
Faerie King has led her here
where the wood nymphs come to swim
twinkling on the rippling pools
in the forest dark and deep.
Overwhelming is the sound
of the cascade’s rushing din,
woodnote chatter, eagle shrieks,
near the ancient rowan tree.
Long shadowed ebon tresses
cloak the night as dew descends
muting sleepy earthen sounds
she leans in so she can hear.
Persevering to the end
with abandon, she prevails,
ever soft the twinkling bells
faerie voices on the wind.
