Tuesday Poetics: The Four Elements

Soggy.
#elements, #water, #earth, #fire, #wind.

Double rainbow showing,
Another fake spring?
Indigo dawn teases my aching bones,
Soggy, foggy and down.

Double rainbow showing,
Another storm passing,
Glorious sunset 🌇 teases,
Dry day tomorrow?

Double rainbow showing,
Many more soakings?
Soggy 🚴 cyclist tired,
Enough is enough.

Double rainbow showing,
Summer sunshine wanted,
Ditch the winter soakings.
Ditch the rain filled roads.

Double rainbows showing,
Indigo dawn teasingly,
Whispers nearly there,
Warm and dry ride into work welcomed,
By tired bones and heart.

Hello #dversepoetspub readers we have been invited to write a poem about which ever element impacts us. As I commute by cycle water gets me down down with each morning I arrive at work wet and need to change into dry clothes on arrival.

Indigo Inkling #quadrille

It’s Quadrille Monday!

Indigo inkling.
#quadrille, #inkling,

I have an inkling that I might,
Might dream in indigo, 
Dark fractured nightmares.

I have an inkling that I might,
Be the fractured indigo dark,
That hides the monsters.

Am I the inkling,
That indigo dreams rule.
The way I share my poetry.

pugnacious

Quadrille #217: Poems with Zing!

Pugnacious.

#love, #Quadrille, #dversepoetypub, #letitzing

Loving that pugnacious zing,

That only tomorrow can bring.

When love will be a thing.

Even loneliness shall pass,

My heart no longer Contentious,

Life before was a farce.

When love will be a thing,

That only tomorrow can bring,

Loving that pugnacious zing.

hello all @ #dcersepoetrypub tonight we are sharing quadrilles that zing.

re imagine

Poetics: Reimagining the Familiar

Butterfly unhinged.
#everyday, #reimagined

Unhinged I dream,
Dream of butterflies of steel,
Steel hinges, all a flutter,
Taking flight, I awake.

The beauty of hinges,
Shine @ opening the doors,
Where would we be without,
Unhinged and stuck indoors.

dora has invited us to reimagine something everyday @ #dversepoetspub this evening.

In limbo

Haibun Monday 2-3-25: Celebrating Groundhog Day

In limbo.

#winter, #groundhogday,  #dverse, #haibun.

In mid winters limbo I wait. Traveling the same route under grey skies. By the one- mile mark as I pass the fuel stop. I start to pine for a seaside trip. By the two-mile mark as I pass the rail station. Winters cold bites my fingers tips. A few weeks until the warmth of spring adds weight to my pining. another day the same groundhog day.

Salty seashore bliss,
Awaits until spring is sprung,
Until then limbo.

it’s haibun Monday @ #dversepoetrypub, all i know of groundhog day comes from the Bill Murry film . i am surprised to find out it is not a fictional day.
