i love the way your scent always fills the entirety of a room; sprinkle of pomegranate tea with a hint of smoked honey woods. i love the way your scent blankets me softly, so now i burn candles named after you. - i love naming things after you.

Slobbermouth black clam-pearl snout

soft fur from forehead to wiggle-waggle.

Bonethin tip-tap fourpaws. Popcorn butter

skin, sniff sniff. Up-down silk triangles

headside, tell you the wolflike

no matter how yellowfangs, size of rabbit

or bear. Scoops of eyes coffee jelly

or melon, shining akin to tears or teeth.

The Rooks of Rapture

The moon, like a cataract in the eye of night, casts her milky tract of light on a rookery of nests; their twiggy bulks seem to rest in the fingertips of branches. Below, the night’s chill breath petrifies fierce arum spears still clenched tight like fists where death has left its earthy taint among bits of rapture from the rookery, splinters of moonlight and the remains of night.

NaPoWriMo #27: A poem based on the Proust Questionnaire

Which is apparently a Victorian list of 36 ice-breaker questions. I decided to base my poem on the question

On What Occasion Do You Lie?

I lie every night 'neath the silvery moon I lie in the shade on a warm afternoon I lie when I'm worn out from working all day I lie when I need a spare moment to lay

I lie on a Sunday for my Sabbath rest I lie in pajamas or lie fully-dressed I lie 'neath a blanket, with all the shades drawn I lie 'til the day (or the night) is full gone

I lie on a couch, on my bed, on a chair I lie on the floor--I lie everywhere! I lie 'til I go to my labor--and then I wait for the time when I lie down again!

#napowrimo 2024 #poetry #i knew this one was going to be a humor poem from the moment i saw the prompt #expected to go with a completely different question until i saw the pun opportunities here

NaPoWriMo 2023 - Day 27

Illness can strike anywhere at any time and we are all vulnerable. It will never make sense to receive a diagnosis that has no cure. It cuts us to the core when we realize how delicate our lives are. Life is short and long and we can never know when it will all be gone. Hold your loved ones close, take a deep breath and give thanks for it. Life will never be immaculate but with intention and faith we can have a full life in our limited days.

Day One /// NaPoWri----NO

Having another go at revisiting the prompts from April 2022's National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo).

Day One was a prompt to write a poem about the body but/and it was also a prompt to structure a poem with reference to the structure of a previously existing piece.

I didn't really understand it in that way at the time, but have just written a similar exercise for my class with Poetry School London where we broke down the elements in a particular poem and used the same elements as a starting-point scaffold for a new piece of our own on entirely different theme.

So, this was the prompt as given -

>>> FROM a workshop Maureen Thorson took with Beatrix Gates in 2021 and >>> BASED on the prose poem "A Story About The Body" by Robert Hass with the following elements >>> theme should be a story about the body >>> should involve an encounter between two people >>> at least one line of dialogue >>> at least one crisp image.

Originally I thought that maybe I'd just edit the poem I wrote on this day first time round, but as it turns out nearly 1/3rd of those poems, including the Day One poem, are "on topic" to be early draft material for what be evolving/coalescing into my next poetry pamphlet. (The list of poems in this group are listed in blue at the end. of this post...)

So - new poem then... HERE GOES... /// [TO BE CONTINUED...]

This list originally appeared in and is copied from a post on 5th May:

01 April - Fog Gets to Know Her New Body

03 April - Glosa, after (and not entirely in agreement with Elizabeth Barrett Browning) - a negotiation about "non-heroic” kinds of love

06 April - Things Fall Apart (from Yeats, The Second Coming)

08 April - Papparazzi - the theme of different lives / different choices

10 April - Lost Love Poem II - the II in the title here is because I wrote Lost Love Poem I for the Mid-Life sequence in question…

13 April - Temerity - on why I insist on hoping-beyond-hope

16 April - Persistence - effectively the same poem, different form?

21 April - To Dream or To Scream? - a poem about my ex-husband (the dream/scream of the [TERRIBLE] title refer to paintings BTW)

27 April - String Theory - different lives again

and the “bonus” poem, Reminiscing with Alice - nostalgia.

NaPoWriMo Day 27: Cover Version

We talk about the power of words How someone can sing So hard So passionately Words that are not their own I always felt grateful I could write my own words Feel my own story Make my own melody Yet I can’t deny The draw To sing someone else’s love Another’s anger, joy, peace There aren’t many cover versions Better than the original But sometimes, just sometimes Someone nails…

Poetry Month Challenges Day 27: Wonder and Wisdom

Poetry Month Challenges Day 27: Wonder and Wisdom #poetry #photography #NaPoWriMo #dVerse #AtoZChallenge #PAD #abstractart

Wonder in Wisdom by Maria L. Berg 2023 Wonder & Wisdom Encyclopedia.com says wonder is “a state of mind excited by the perception of novelty or of something strange or not well understood. Both plato and aristotle speak of wonder as the point of origin for philosophy. In the Theaetetus, Socrates is recorded as saying, “Wonder is the feeling of a philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder.”…

Like a Duck

Life is a garrulous river glinting through wisps of cloud. A glimpse of life through cloud and I feel like a duck treading water, scattering sparkles on the water like van Gogh’s canvas of glowing stars. I swim against the tide of stars, drag my heavy body to a grassy bank and relish the respite of the bank. The aroma of wild garlic flourishes in the mud, a choppy foam of green through the…

#NationalPoetryMonth DAY 27: Stronger

For #NationalPoetryMonth and #NaPoWriMo, here's #Poem27 in my daily writing project: enjoy "Stronger" #Poetry #InternetofWords #Poet

As life returns to normal, post-COVID infection, I thought it might be an idea to write some longer form poems for the next 30 days, to get me back into the business of routine. Fortunately, Twitter has provided an event for that: #NaPoWriMo, which is part of #NationalPoetryMonth. #27 is a poem about exercise. A lot of my life is gym-related. It’s a very important lifeline, and I’m very grateful…
