Haphazardly strung
A twisted barb penetrates
Unraveling threads
Inside, the core of despair
Tis humanity’s weakness
August Writing Prompts – Unraveled steel threads

Antiseptic, the smell of death
Lingering, acrid fumes invade
Thoughts, no longer the calm
Of a life, no longer vibrant
Bells, alarms, invading silence
Nighttime falls, eternal sleep
The room, stifling with stale air
Yet, a subtle breeze blows
As curtains hang, world-weary
Watching a soul fly, into the light….
Author’s note: This poem came to me while I was in the hospital twice over the weekend. I hope I don’t return anytime soon…

I know not where it is, I should turn
As thoughts inside, begin to churn
An acid, meant to truly burn
A helpless moment, of which I yearn
*
To cast away, the thoughtless words
From a hateful voice, it’s so absurd
To know that I’m not really heard
My patience, buried, now interred
*
Into hopelessness, I need to fight
To end this horrid, dreadful plight
That I endure, both day and night
For where there seems, no end in sight

Hello friends!
A big thank you for all the wonderful messages you’ve left for mom. She’s resting comfortably in a nursing facility. I’m very happy with the care she is getting and this eases my mind a bit. I’ll still be on hiatus but will pop a poem occasionally. I hope you’re all well and writing or clicking or whatever!! 🙂
❤

I’m on hiatus but today I’m over at Sally’s Smorgasbord where she’s sharing another of my poems from my archives. I hope you enjoy! Thank you so much, Sally ❤️
Welcome to the Posts from Your Archives, where bloggers put their trust in me. In this series, I dive into a blogger’s archives and select four posts to share here to my audience.

This is the final post from the archives of poet Dorinda Duclos… and although there is a month or so to go… this is one of my favourite times of year.. celebrated with Her Signal.
Her Signal by Dorinda Duclos
Days pass, lazily, in the haze of summer
Nights become cooler, anticipation sets in
The subtle autumn air teases, but waits
She knows this is not her time, not quite yet
The cliché, dog days of summer, unfulfilled
Brown grasses and wilted flowers, her signal
To bring her vibrancy to the earth, colors
Which paint the skies, an artist’s…
