napowrimo day 30

a poem a day
for a long thirty day month
I am poemed out

Napowrimo day 29

From a Big Tent Poetry prompt.

-

I have always loved rocking
rocking chairs, a boat, a swing:
shift your weight and you’re floating
feeling that you could take wing.

Napowrimo day 28

Nod to Liber XV

Fire sweetens air
salt admonishes water:
purification.

Napowrimo day 27

This was inspired by a Big Tent Poetry prompt.

What’s at the centre?

The cherry on the top bang in the middle;
wicks running central to the candle’s core;
the in-breath, the out-breath, noticed as it flows;
heartwood which rots yet leaves a living tree;
the single leg of a tapping table;
a paperback’s glossy picture pages;
clusters of stamens awaiting the bees;
a farm near Fox’s Drayton-in-the-Clay;
the magnetic coils of earth’s molten rock;
and in silence, the small still voice of God.

Napowrimo day 26

Guess where I had to go today?

Gynaecologist

Heels up and knees out
let those folks with microscopes
probe your sexual sins.

NaPoWriMo day 25

Response to the One Single Impression prompt, place.

Park

Your flowers are
breaking out:
I cannot name
the blue one
or this tiny
white one but
no matter; you
don’t know mine.
Welcome or not
I visit
in all weathers
and love you
when your flowers
are just out.

NaPoWriMo day 24

Tonglen

Sitting with the snake
coils wringing out my heart
choking up my throat
venom in my eyes
I breathe compassion for snakes
and try not to fight.

Napowrimo day 23

Escape, a Big Tent Poetry prompt.

Trigger warning.

Into the blackness:
a poor end but it’s better
than staying, worthless.
