More bliss, after Poetry Month

Although the month of Poetry and various types of challenges is over, I decided to post this haiku I wrote for Day 30 on a notebook in my car. I forgot it there and only retrieved it a couple of days ago, so here it is:

Zest, Day 29

NaPoWriMo, Day 29

 

Haiku Heights – Zest

 

Intently watching

The Circus moves away, Day 28

NaPoWriMo, Day 28

Don’t give in so soon!

Never mind the crowd!

You’ll get yourself marooned

Looking up to whom

Rhythm, Day 24

NaPoWriMo, Day 24

1. Acrostic Only, SW – Rhythm

Rhythm rules the abyss

Hailing over dead wood

You wasted time alone

Timeless patterns get you

Hunting on your own

Mindful, random and forlorn.

2. Poetic Asides – Morning 

Blue highways Rolling over Your sleepiness 

On that blissful verge Your [...]

Opposite poem, Day 23

I turn again to T.S. Eliot for my “fan” poetry

NaPoWriMo.net – opposite poem

T.S.Eliot – Waste Land, What the Thunder Said

Before the cold luster of their masks Before the hot clamour outside the house Before the ecstasy of lurid lakes The silence and the smiles Open spaces, dungeons and stillness of [...]
