WELCOME

This is my blog (now there is a surprise!). I will be sticking in it poetry, prose, random musings, things that take my fancy and more than likely lots of pictures of cats. I hope you find something to amuse and/or interest you here.

Shadorma


Our friends at onestop offer up another form for me to massecre today.  Come and learn about it here.

Monday One Stop Poetry Form – Guest Host Anne Welch – Shadorma

Personally, I am not sure if I like it.  It seems a bit more like diced prose than poetry to me.

 Still, I tend to favour form and that is an arguament that can run and run forever while having all the validity of oil painters fighting watercolourists over which is best.  Art is where you find it. 

Anyway.  Three trys.  I hope it isn't three strikes and I am out, lol.

Surely not,
This simple line form
cannot be
so simple,
there must lurk some unseen twist
I have failed to grasp.



Spiders web
decked in diamonds
glittering
sparkling
lacily draped on hedgerows
arachnids’ larder.

 

Dawn chorus
soloist leads in
others join
building sound
glorious cacophony
announcing morning.

  5. I think that's all there is too it. I researched the form a little too but apparently it's just a stretch on the haiku without the delicate demands of haiku. Well done here on all three!
