Prompt 125: Preponderance


This week's prompt, preponderance, comes from Deanna of Dances with Loons. Thanks to DWL for this image and poem. (Please note that, although DWL blogs at Beth Patterson's Virtual Tea House, but she and Beth are separate people!)

The brittle brown edges disintegrate with movement
Yet, I will not stop moving.
The years may make me fragile
But the remnants find a way to coalesce
And so I persevere.

The preponderance of emotion as I age,
Is longing,
Monotonous slow aches
That painfully stretch into wanting.

You see, they are at war;
Emotional missiles lobbed between desire and trust,
A turmoil that rarely finds a truce.

I turn so that the wind of those projectiles
Is at my back
And all I can see is Now.

Prompt 124: Overt


JP/Deb of Jane Poet - La Poessie Sur Une Mission brings us this week's prompt, overt. Thanks, friend for the poem and for the image. Both are outstanding.

Today’s poem is dedicated to the Overt, the wind that blows through the open windows

Free-flowing, uniquely distinctive
notes from a bass-guitared rasta man
for a cat playing the Queen of Sheeba
and ideas reborn as fertile land

set me free and find me wholly overt
this wind blows through wide opened windows
we are not out of context; this is real
the layered notes of fermented dreams

tilt Fresca wishes toward a grateful sky
set me free and find me wholly overt
this is everything, if not a Wasteland.

Prompt 123: Roads

Thanks to Gautami Tripathy of Firmly Rooted for this week's prompt, roads, and for this poem:

Soup of Health

creamy roads on my soup
create an illusion of well being-
rains pour down my cheeks

rivulets of rain
go down the muddy drain
as soup keeps me sane

sanity has a price I think,
demolishing the creamy roads
as I eat the rice in soup

fork is completely useless
to trudge through those roads
I lick the spoon spotless

if I should die now
think only this of me-
she loved rich soups!
