Published today : She Can No Longer Be Broken

She’s had the best of the best long before you,
Her heart given to one that managed to wed and bed her,
He got to call her wife — a mantle she still wears with pride,
Once her partner, her charmer, her lover and her soul connoisseur.

OutOfExile_IDR § Voice ®™️

Winter's Ground

Sometimes stepping out of yourself
is harder than the words to say.
Sometimes you're outside
and you just can't find the way.

Wondering...
My reflection stares back at me
from the bottom of the cup.
No longer can you block it out
with laughter and with song
Look up...the appeal is gone.

Emotions flare
and you must listen...until the end.
Only when their strings have played
will you be moved again.

Emotions rage
and tear my roots from comforts I had found...
Now dangling in shock with no place to grow
in the winter's ground

Spring... so far off,
the journey far too long
Will I soon hear the sparrow's song?

Autumn leaves swirl down,
Dappled sunbeams dance on vines.
Seeds fall to the ground,
Spices warm the autumn air,
New life waits beneath the eaves.

Due to timezones differences (probably) the prompts for daily haikus come out late on Saturday for me, so I took all the words from last week and put them into a tanka.

@nona80_swanette That I can write poetry is one of the more surprising aspects of poetry. The range and depths of reactions that poetry can trigger within people has also come as a surprise to me.

#PoetryCafe #PoetryCommunity

This week at the #PoetryCafe we’re talking about things that have surprised you about poetry.

This could be a poem you’ve read, something you’ve written, a style you didn’t know existed … whatever it might be.

For me, the thing that has surprised me most is that my taste in poetry in quite broad. I’m quite fussy when it comes to novels - I’ll read just about anything but there’s only a very specific range of genres that I *really* like - but with poetry, I love almost all of it, even if I’m not good at it.

“My Crop”

Each line of poetry that I read
A long tilled row, and each small seed
A thought-word watered, warmed in sun,
A sprouting sentence every one.
The autumn curbs my urge to sing
Until I catch a whiff of spring.
I till the soil in winter months,
And harvest yearly, only once.

Reposted from last year, around this same time. I suffered the same lull in creative inspiration that I seem to be right now. So I’m reading the Classics and working on my next book.

You made the Law, and though I fear it
I still keep a familiar spirit,
And gastromancy is my trade.
So I will raise the speaking shade
Of one who can inform your choices.
Tomorrow, my projected voices
Prophesy, you will know defeat.
Till then, how ‘bout a bite to eat?

Daedalus
©️ Nona Rose 2011

Daedalus and Icarus,
They made their wings of wax.
They flew into the sky
But could not pay the tax.

The Sun it begrudged them
The right to fly so high
So Icarus was made to fall
And so he did die.

Vulnerability is not a weakness, a passing indisposition, or something we can arrange to do without, vulnerability is not a choice, vulnerability is the underlying, ever present and abiding undercurrent of our natural state. To run from vulnerability is to run from the essence of our nature, the attempt to be invulnerable is the vain attempt to become something we are not and most especially, to close off our understanding of the grief of others. More seriously, in refusing our vulnerability we refuse the help needed at every turn of our existence and immobilize the essential, tidal and conversational foundations of our identity.

@hotdogsladies @sennoma Ok, it does provide practical guidance for reading modern poems.

But I question his sweeping statements. Poetry can and sometimes definitely does expound, confound or tell a story.

His take on poetry as solely a snapshot of personal experience is exactly what the Imagists also argued. So WCW makes for apt examples. That Imagist ideal still rules poetry 100 years later.

But poetry can also be more. The Persona is not (necessarily) the Poet.

There's silence in this room
Apart from the beeping and
Whooshing of the machines
Apart from the coughing and
Low murmurs of visitors
Apart from the trolley and
People going past outside
Apart from the leaves and
Branches rustling by the window
Apart from the cars and
Other traffic on the road below
Apart from the birds and
The dogs in the park opposite
Apart from the world's noise
There's silence in this room

Butterfly stuck in the sand
CHRYSALIS PHOTO DIGITALLY ENHANCED

Density

I want
for a day
to speak the language
of songbirds;

maybe
on the branch of a cherry tree
hidden in the pink,
snow like blossoms,
a soliloquy
about the joy of
hollow bones in flight,

or perhaps
just outside the window
perched
In a yaupon
flush with scarlet berries,
a lengthy sonnet to the sun
as it highlights
the way you ripple the bath
with your wings.

It's a small thing
to want,

I think,

just the one day
to wake without the density
of bones and
sing.

"My True Self"

Throughout my normal childhood
A silhouette in shadows stood
Beside me as I walked along
The narrow path. It was wrong,
They said, to talk to strangers, so
I acted like I didn’t know.
For forty years, that forced rejection
Blinded me to my own reflection.
