She lies calm
The wind is silent
Nothing touches her
In her veins
Blood runs golden
Distilled to perfection
Covered in camouflage
Scars scorned for their story
Beyond salvage
All of her past
Is stored in the loft
Above all else
She lies calm
The wind is silent
Nothing can touch her

In the wist of a sigh
In the blink of an eye
Before the whys
Forever pays the price
For if ever you try
To get past the white lie
Slipped in with a beatific smile
You'll come to realise
No matter the miles
Or colour or guise
You are always surprised
At the enterprise
Logic defies
How deception beguiles
You are mesmerized
You sign the dotted lines
And forever pay the price

David of The Skeptic’s Kaddish and Sangeetha of Mindfills began a fun poetry partnership in April. We celebrated writing together a 100 verse renga The Hyakuin, Ripples. And within days, decided we would absolutely love to continue our writing collaboration and celebrate what has grown to be a warm friendship with new poetry projects.
We decided to explore poetry forms. A to Z. Each week one of us chooses a poetry form the other responds to. We completed our first series Form verses creativity in June ’22. We knew we’re on to something. So we wrote the next set of poetry forms A to Z ~ Creativity Verses Form. Here, we added a little twist for version2.0, with a key word starting with the same letter.
And now, and in December ’22, we’re onto our fourth collaborative writing project ~ Creativity Forms Verses. To form verses, we turned to creativity, inventing new poetry forms, A through to Z.
For ‘W’, David created the ‘Wiggle Waggle’ form.
It's late, and I'm very tired;
I ought to sleep; I've work tomorrow;
Projects to be done,
Errands to be run;
My wife and daughter- long since retired;
Yes, I'll be responsible.
But... the night's only begun;
No one's around to distract me now;
My muse is inspired,
Besides, I'm too wired...
Surely it's no harm to anyone
To compose just one more verse.
I wake up. I have to write.
The words go wandering off to play;
While I deeply think,
My dumb cursor blinks,
My acute acumen goes on strike;
I have no poem on my page.
I wake up. I want to write.
The words line up quite magically;
Syllable and rhyme,
Together sublime,
Compose precious verses that delight;
I have this poem on my page.

To meet my truths, I often go where ordinary lives
I get no epiphanies, but I get the courage to be real
In quiet contentment, I know my truth lies in being me

your side of the bed
pillow’s still depressed
wishing
the smell of your head
could change what you said
crying
as you sadly left
the sweet life we led
trying

I believe the moon is shy today
The way she hides her face
in the lace of a wispy cloud
out for a stroll in the sky
Why oh why
am I
reminded of you
confused by your perfume
consumed by the summer breeze
teasing…
the moon

Rain
dots to my window
slush to my wheels
I put my face up
to see how it feels
Bow
curve of the sky
paint-brushed with light
from heaven's bow
magic aglow
Rainbow
varicoloured band
for the sky to wear
when she feels happy
and pirouettes with flair
For dVerse MTB – To write on Compound words – when two (or more) words are joined, creating a different word with another distinct meaning. I chose rain, bow and rainbow
