Just Beneath the Staircase

MeeAugraphie — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 03:35:15 +0000

Day 4 prompt for Poetic Asides 2012 November PAD Challenge was “Just Beneath ______ ” as the title of your poem. I thought of a humorous family story – and while sharing it, saw the message within. Did you start your poetry challenge yet? Jump in, the link is below!

JUST BENEATH THE STAIRCASE

In the coal cupboard
He said he slept as a child

In a foreign land

And I believed his spoken word
As his dad’s heart radiated a coldness
That threatened to encapsulate warmth

To strangle even me

But bearing witness to one truth
Sucks reality from the next.

And years later, laughter bellowing
My gullibility acknowledged
Coal cupboard denied

And years later, written word exposed the moral

Truth and logic exposed
Non-compatible.

A Common Thread?

Day 3 prompt from Poetic Asides was to write a poem that scares you. Again, I went with my gut reaction.

A COMMON THREAD?

She has no fear
Speaking her truths to those in pain
Reaching inward for words to help, not harm

She has no need to
Play the naked game to find
Courage to speak before a crowd

She delegates with ease
Even to the abrasive

She embraces the parenthetical
Sees nuances in all
Loves unconditionally

But trembles at best
Refuses at worst
To walk into room of strangers
To play the socialization game

And reverts to third person to share this truth….

Mooned

Day 2 prompt at Poetic Asides was to write a poem about a Full Moon. I took poetic license, to say the least. (I go with my first thought usually.)

MOONED

Harmless prank
Muffled giggles

Drunken dare
Guffaws belched

Car window or field of grass

Back to others
Hands yank pants
Bare skin flashed

Moon’s ethereal status

Eclipsed by man

Cadence

MeeAugraphie — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 03:04:55 +0000

The Prompt for Poetic Asides’ 2012 November PAD Chapbook Challenge Day 1 was: a Matches poem. I wrote, a day late:

CADENCE

Left. Right.
Left. Right.
Forward. Aft.
Cadence matched

Until broken.

Still time to jump in. Do not have to post on your own blog – or even at all. This is the link to Day 1′s prompt.

Have fun with it! I certainly am. It feels good to be emoting again.

Helium Gray

(Dedicated to Red Mitten)

Helium Gray

My sacred space
once filled by emotions
anchored by Need’s Gravity

replaced by helium gray

Last Thursday at noon (my keyboard typed)
Want flickered, Need surged

replaced by helium gray

I argue against Thursday
for any other day

(Mind stands accused of granting poetic license)

Whichever non-memorable day it was,
Emotion’s need for recorded shudders,emoted screams,or widemouthed grins
pleaded through humidity’s shroud for Gravity’s heroics.

And Need responded (perhaps, in competition with moon)

Monday. (no poetic license here)
Her words sunk into my sacred place.

Emotions gasped onto paper as Punctuation winked
Words smothered my helium gray.

State of Affairs

I
want
less than many do
I need
little other than I have
I give
but not enough

I sit content
with all
but the latter.

Children Abandoned

MeeAugraphie — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 18:25:49 +0000

Children Abandoned

Her children abandoned
not left on a doorstep
nor given to another
nor left behind
she simply ignored
their needs
their words
their being

and yet, they loved her still
