| Mists Africa does not waste its time with mist, its sunwashed plains are seldom kissed, precipitation saved for thunderstorms and cloudbursts being the season’s norm. And so I found the mists of northern shores a mystical, mythical dream from literary lore, a secret land of silent sight constricted by guarded peace and softest grey restricted. Inside this insubstantial world now shrunk with distant ocean’s breath inhaled and drunk, I find ancestral cause for celebration and I, in mists, a certain affirmation. Line count: 12 Rhymed aabb For Promptly Poetry Challenge, Week 46 Prompt: Mist. |
| Mirror Ah, always the same old question who’s this and who’s that who’s thinnest, who’s fat who’s pretty in pink and never mind the stink who’s wise as an owl with a voice that’s just foul who’s strutting today will be crawling in May who sings like a lark but shouts in a bark who colours her hair when nobody’s there who sings in the bath a complete psychopath who fiddles and diddles in the middle of riddles whoever asks me again will hear from me then I’m only a mirror and not wisdom’s pillar now think of another damn question. House Martell Line count: 22, word count: 100 Rhymed aabb For "Game of Thrones"  The North Remembers, Mirror Mirror Prompt 1 Poetry and Promptly Poetry Challenge, Week 45Prompt: "Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's the ________ of them all?" Note: This fits so well with Promptly's prompt that I thought I'd try submitting it. There's no rule that insists on newly written stuff and it was written less that two months ago, so here it is. If you reject it, I guess I'll write another, but the concept fills my head and I can't think of anything else at the moment. |
