It was just a dream we had, a photograph we never took but my heart tells the sweetest lie & calls it memory— you & I, strolling hand in hand through a field of gold by the glow of an endless evening— as if time & fate had never erased the possibility of us. #sensewrds 274

Rory, or Esme, rather, had his #reprieve. The Brotherhood of Broken Bones would not execute the character for stealing the Sacred Bone of the First Brother, if Esme, and Rory, of course, stole the Sacred Skull of the Second Brother, which had also been stolen & was, apparently, more sacred. #vss365

I crawl into the depths of my mind Hoping for a moment to stop time A little #reprieve from the chaos Cataclysmic collisions of the truth A raw nerve touched at the root I feel nothing as the pain is too much I lose consciousness in my head My mind alive and awake instead #vss365

😁 Happy Sunday to all 😁 This weeks #PoetsOfDoom is going arsey - #ArsPoetica that is! Pick your favourite poetic form and write a poem about it, in said form. Clear as mud, right? Don't worry, there's a link below and a couple of examples to help clarify! www.writersdigest.com/write-better...

On Acrostics

A line must rise from the chosen word’s letter,
Craft out its bones like a patient typesetter.
Rules of rhythm and clarity guide your pen,
Organise thoughts so they brighten again.
Showcase your thoughts, create and express,
Take each line as your chance to impress.
Inspiration flows when structure meets art,
Clever acrostics reveal both form and heart.

Do Not Go Gently into a Villanelle

Do not go gently into a villanelle,
Its chains of rhyme bind tight the poet’s hand,
Yet in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.

As lines repeat, their echoes cast a spell,
A stubborn form that bows to no command.
Do not go gently into a villanelle.

Resist the lure of freedom’s restless swell;
Each stanza’s shape must first be wisely planned,
Yet in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.

The poet curses rules they know too well,
Twisting lines to meet a strict demand.
Do not go gently into a villanelle.

But when the pattern sings, a truth will swell,
A beauty forged from order, fierce and grand;
Yet in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.

Embrace the verse and let its cadence tell;
Yield to its grip and you will understand:
Do not go gently into a villanelle,
For in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.

Peer through the dark where an ember scatters. I've kept a tryst with disdain, so sail me on Noah's ark, rescue me from the mundane. Love, passion, music at play: my sole reprieve. The rest is just a shell. ~rev #vss365 #reprieve

Library

I tend my books like children,
tousled by wind and sun,
disheveled by romps
through fields starred with fireflies;
pages dog-eared with love,
prune-fingered from bath-splash
and soapy digits.
I smooth their sheets like linens,
tucking them into wooden bunks
to dream until their inky seas
clamour for another voyage.

– Gayle J. Greenlea
