Sweet and Bitter Stuff of Wonder
Brought to you by Mary K
Here I am, back to Sunday Wordle and my poem take on their amazing prompt #122
*PERSUASION*
If you stay
And let me get your heart
Persuaded to share this with me.
If we remain nestled and lovely,
That period would be a tribute
To the years that I dreamed
alone, my eyes fixed on the floor,
space throbbing in degrees
of pangs and brilliance.
If I can get you
and let you
stay persuaded.

Paradise
Is all
With you.

How cool is it to be writing to your own prompt! Very cool! And very serious.

strike a match
with that gentle touch of your
hand which holds my
heart agile and waiting
afloat long waking
Believing in the magic of
that unmatched and
matchless
unprecedented
inextinguishable
fire of your breath
applied to my cold cheeks
That irrational thrill in my
dreaming memory of a
“Safety Matches” box
I still cling to
at night

Somewhat belated, yet my contributions for Day 13 of the Poetry month, along with its Poem-a-Day challenge are here:
1. Haiku Heights – Warmth
The wind howls
Like a wolf outside
Hearth warms heart.
2. Poetic Asides – Something poem
Something stupid
You talk of engines
And of piston heads,
The turns they make,
How they rotate
And how all that
Transforms into a drive
While
I watch the movement of your lips
And listen to the murmur of you voice
It is a gentle stream that glides and slips
And then all that
Transforms into a dive.

NaPoWriMo, Day 4
1. Haiku Heights – Doubt
A bird in a bush
Blossoms fragrant, warbling spills
No doubt in her heart
***
No doubt in her heart
But the pure stifling cold of red
Exasperation.
***
Exasperation –
Insanity’s middle name
A bird in a bush.
2. Being Poetry – Uproar
Two boys and a girl
Their parents –
Friends from teenage
Trying to make up for
Time so long
Trying to cast a bridge
Over
Time
Two boys and a girl –
Clatter, clamour
Crush and break
Toys around
Below and above
You step on them
Silence is forbidden
Two boys and a girl
Trying to cast a bridge
Parents too tired to mind
Too happy to reproach
Too deaf to hear.
3. Poetic Asides – 100% something
You are 100% awesome!
I’m 100% there for you!
Are those eyes of yours
100% green?
Or I am only
100% taken in?
100% stunning –
that’s how I see you
100% stupefied –
that’s how I get
when I finally see you
for looking at you
blinds me
100%

“Connections are everything” sets the spirit of the poetic prompt at the Poetry Jam this week. This week is also my first participation there, and I am headed to make it count 😉
Love Poem, (by the way)
Connect with me
Through that thought line
That keeps us both
Awake and waiting
At both ends of the phone line.
Relay to me
Through that hectic confusion
Caused by our sleepless
Caustic mornings after.
Devoid of touching you.
And haunted by frustrated dreams.
Relate to me
Using that old-fashioned
Bunch of flowers
That will invariably die
Uncared for,
Forgotten
On the kitchen table
Where I tossed them
Before I tossed myself
Into your arms
Forgetting thoughts
and phones
and dreams.
Get touched
And stay connected!

The prompt of OSI this week:
Vellicate
Green eyes will
Vellicate me so
I won’t go.

Твоите зелени очи
ме вълнуват така,
че просто не мога
да продължа.

a “blame the —” poem
*****
Blame your green eyes
And their glamorous reflections
In my heart’s pace.
Due to them
My blood ran hot and fast
And still your greenness
Cuddles me in that
Soft forest.

We are halfway now. And today’s prompt is really hard. I’m afraid my attempt is pathetic.
a “just when you thought it was safe” poem
*****
Just when I thought it was safe
To travel alone and not looking for IT
You snapped my world shaken
And fitted my trip
As the exhausted tourist might fit with a walking stick.
