#quadrille promise.

Time for a 44-word poem!

I promise.


I solemnly swear,
To keep scribbling,
My words.

A promise once made,
To myself never to give up,
To give up on living.

A promise I bottled
And hurled into the sea,
Hoping it would find.

Me when I most need,
A self-made promise.

Sunday morn stroll

My Sunday mornings normally include a stroll to get bread or milk or both. Mundane, day to day, grey in the scheme of things. But every now and again nature throws in some colour. Just to brighten my Sunday wander. These come in the form of mighty sunrises. Spring time is a riot of colour with area put aside wild flowers in the local park. but this weekend the trees were showing their autumnal colours.

Misty morning riot,
Full autumn colour on show,
Trees, leaves, quiet time.

three little words.

MTB: Counting to Three

thank you #dversepoterypub tonight for quite a challenge in writing to a new form for me on #nationalpoetryday.

Three little words.

Exam.
Life is no exam, live life, love,
Dance and sing, give your heart away,
Let your heart fly high like a dove,
Life is no exam, live life, love,
Do not fear to wear life’s love glove,
Your hearts one desire may well stray,
Life is no exam, live life, love,
Dance and sing, give your heart away.



Rocks.
Dance and sing, let yourself rock out,
Music uplifts, let it pluck your heartstrings.
Pleas never let there be a drought,
Dance and sing, let yourself rock out,
Prance, dance and throw yourself about,
Get music in, your being unslings,
Dance and sing, let yourself rock out,
Music uplifts, let it pluck your heartstrings.


Sketch.
Sketch this bitch, dancing all alone,
Heartbroken, but still living life,
Grief forced into learning, grown,
Sketch this bitch, dancing all alone,
A lust for life never blown,
Minds refusal to accept strife,
Sketch this bitch, dancing all alone,
Heartbroken, but still living life.
