Pieces of my soul ( a nonet) These words are all I have now for you, You will find pieces of my soul, Each word a chapter of life, A syllabic deluge, An ardent torrent, But all unsaid Safely cached, Unsent, Dead. Via : https://wp.me/p4xNpg-b1w

An ode to spring-1 (nonet)

Deep in my dreamy slumber I heard, A symphonic melody play, It flowed around so untamed, Traipsing on vernal branch, Waltzing along buds, A fragrant burst, Melody, Real, Pure.

Colleen’s 2019 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 161 #PhotoPrompt

This month’s photo prompt has been provided by Willow Willers. I have attempted a Nonet for the photo prompt. Myriad tales on a hued palette, The wispy latticed curls in mirth, Blossoming petals of life, Exquisite and fragile, Cooling heated angst, Dried it sheds off, Flaming red, Sublime, Ode.

Daily Prompt – JusJoJan the 5th, 2020 ( A nonet)

"Your prompt for JusJoJan January 5th, 2020, is “intention.” Use the word “intention” any way you’d like." A charade of much love unsullied, A loud impulsion to do good, Veiling inner animus, Magnanimity vile, Intentions maligned, Trust gone awry, When you see, Heart breaks, So!

My synonyms for Game and Trouble are Play and Tumult. I have attempted a nonet Tides The die cast on the chequered board, Rolled by Tides in the play of life, To give what is preordained, Braving the Fates tumult, You ride the tempest, To drown again, Defiant, Buoyed, Now!
