fermented farewell

tonight at #dverse we have been prompted to look at fermentation. i have not had a lot of experience of fermented food and my mind took me somewhere unexpected.

(A warning to fathers not to treat their daughters like a princess)

#Mentalhealthawareness, #dverse

Does a farewell have to ferment?

The love of life that started with smiles,

Being brewed into the contagion of hate and want,

By the bacteria of have, have, have.

And now, now, now.

Stirred with a silver spoon,

The heart of daddy’s princess,

Broken when fermented by life,

Mind Spoiled by greedy ignorance.

After daddy has gone.

Please dads don’t ferment,

Your daughters mind with,

The vinegar of giving them all,

A spoilt brat is a sauerkid (sour child)

When life takes everything away.

A fermented farewell,

Is all that awaits,

A mind expecting,

To receive it all,

Without any of life’s effort.

#Nationalpoetryday, #mongolianmeter, #dverse.

thank you grace for a challenging prompt this evening. here ‘#dversepoetspub.

we have been challenged to write in the traditional Mongolian meter.

Poetry our pornography,

Poison let loose in our veins,

Potential to heal or harm,

Po faced poets spitting words.

Poison let loose in our veins,

Poetry dragon dancing,

Portioning words out to poets,

Posing with Passions inner fire.

Potential to heal or harm,

Pointed expressions forgiven,

Po faced poets spitting words,

Poetry our pornography.

Farewell stagnation

thank you, Saana, for an interesting prompt tonight at #dverse we have looked at the beat generation of poets. my poem was written at work today (well started) while my mind wondered away. spontaneously taking me away from the tedious task being carried out.

Farewell Stagnation.
