Dark tonight.
#quadrille, #dversepoetrypub
Stars tonight’s sparklers,
Laying in my heart’s darkness,
Hearing her singing our love.
Our sparklers my only light,
Her ghost’s bearing here,
Keeping me company.
My sparkle leaving,
No live since her leaving,
Our Tomb of memories,
All that is left.
I join her.

Its quadrille night here at #dverspoetrypub. happy Diwali to all who celebrate.
candyfloss nebula
Sweet dreams.
The milky way is my sweet shop,
Poggled* shelves fully loaded,
With,
Skittle Stars from candy floss nebular.
The starship Twix hunting,
The snickers galaxy,
For the captains kit-kat,
Lost when we starburst away from,
The dull-drumsticks into,
Sweet dreams.
*poggled the art of seeing something new about something or somewhere you have known for years. Like an old scar on a familiar face.

hello dear #dversepoetrypub regulars today we have been invited to write about sweets/candy/chocolate bars. i may have added a some not on the list oops.
Tonight’s prompt from Lisa @ #dverspoetrypub has looking at the bust she saw on a museum visits.
i have gone with the ekphrastic option because the picture rough edges by Elise Siegul reminded me of one of my older poems. here is a reworked version.
WHAT IF? Type 2
#EliseSiegul, #dversepoetrypub, #ekphastric,
What if the planet was just,
A disembodied head?
And us its many, many voices
What if you the master of the many?
Yes master of many crazy 🤪 voices,
Were the master of that head?
Would she be heard over the masses?
Or Could 7 billion voices in this head be wrong?
YES

#dversepoetry pub version
Fairy vocals.
#fairysong, #poetry,
No nose wrinkled,
one cause even tempers,
Were you here crone?
During our summer,
Fairy name use means flowers arose,
Near people can remove magic for sure.
Fairy vocals rise in song,
Crow verses hoarse,
see the light to renew,
Assume nothing,
Once van delivers sum-mer,
Aware that the caves are haunted,
Fairy voices rise into sea shanties,
Over cream teas.

#quadrille, #naturescall, #poetry,
Morning suns’ frosty glints,
This son subtly hints.
At the quality of the print.
On.
Invites to a sick day,
Out and about from decay,
Nature’s call to play.
Now.
Mind forced into frown,
Work calling us into town,
Lets’ Run before we drown.
