Splitting Threads – #poetry #FebruaryWriting

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,


We’re a jumbled mess, caught up in a ball

And we can’t seem to sort it out, at all

Too many ends, and not enough starts

Often weigh heavily, upon our hearts

Each of us, an entangled, intricate thread

Needing to connect, sometimes misled

Split down the middle, tossed to the side

Losing a sense of ourselves, and our pride

Til, we finally realize, every each of our fiber

Contains threads, no one else can decipher

Toxic Waste ~ #poetry #WOTD

Why is it some families, become so disquisitive?

Sticking their noses, where they don’t belong

Turning relationships, into mortal toxic waste

Never thinking they’re the ones who are wrong

Morning’s Light ~ #Tanka #PoetryChallenge

It’s the first challenge of February, and Colleen lets us pick our own words!  Synonyms are not necessary but I used them anyway. Keeping with the love theme, this week, my words are Arouse and Glow. Although I’ve used then in a different context.  😉

Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Awakened and Light.


Clouded skies part ways

When, at last, the morning breaks

And my sun shines high

Tis then I am awakened

By the glory of the light

Misty Morning Melancholy – #poetry #FebruaryWriting

Tags

Along the banks they stand, proudly, and wait

The misty morning, always, coveting their fate

Statuesque, majestic trees, one after the other

Try to shake the gloom, as limbs begin to shudder

From tiny particles, tis the rime, of winter’s bane

All they want is warmth, to ease the chilling pain

But alas, when day is over, and the sunlight strays

Evening settles in with more, of that melancholic haze

The possibilities afforded us, can be endless

Especially, when you follow this rule of thumb

The easiest way you can make yourself heard

Is by using a megaphone, whenever you hum
