 |    Online journal capturing the moment and the memory of moments. A meadow meditation. |
   L'aura del campo 'é a lua, é a lua, na quintana dos mortos' ♣ Federico García Lorca ♣  L'aura del campo. A breeze in the meadow. So it began the last day of Spring, 2005; on the 16th day of the month of Light of the year 162. This is a supplement to my daily journal written to a friend, my muse; notes I do not share. Here I will share what the breeze has whispered to me. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS!

| "All hail the coming elections" Post Pinnacle of Pain piles of cynical remains remain. Like Pompeii: ash protecting nothing. K.E. 24.february.2020 Obvious alliteration, rhyme and repetitions. Pauses are important while reading. Prompt was "pinnacle". Hard to snip from 28 to 24 syllables. |
| Clover Middle School Teachers' Lounge You chew; they moo. Then laughing, fling food AT you. Rude! they need to change their attitude. If not... you'll sue. K.E. 22.february.2020 2/2 8/8 2/2 Stanza/line breaks and punctuation slow the reader down and emphasize certain words. Overall rhyme a/a b/b x/a. Internal rhymes by syllable: aa xa xxbbcdac xxaxxdxc xx xa An iambic rhythm is possible when reading out-loud, especially the second time. Assonance brought to you by "oo": chew/moo/food/you/rude/to/attitude/you'll/sue. "At you. Rude!" mirrors "attitude". Title provides place and a bit of irony. 24 syllable prompt: attitude. After writing I realized prompt was "attributes" not "attitude" Oh, well! |
| "Mary Anthony in Medina" Mary howled words she soon begged to resile, growled them again and now must kneel to lose instead her head. Kåre Enga 19.february.2020 xxaxxxxxxb axxxxxxb xxxc xc 10/8/4/2 which gives a quickening rhythm as rhymes c/c are closer than a/a or b/b. A play on names, history and perhaps a harsh reality for some women today. I guess the rhyme of resile/kneel can be considered a near rhyme if you pronounce resile to rhyme with aisle. As an American I haven't used this word before. It's an old word but not common. |
| In so many words... or few. Tantrum, rant, insane or inane... he waxes insolent to the core. Kare Enga 18.february.2020 No rhythm, no rhyme, alliterative 'in'. 103.757 |
In a field of sunflowers He stares speechless, oblivious to all, overcome by your bounteous beauty, your righteous weeds. © Kåre Enga (8.january.2020) 4/6/4/6/4/ No rhythm, no rhyme, no alliteration. The three long words share a common unstressed last syllable, more an echo than a rhyme. Also: a juxtaposition of two people: the admirer and the admired. The title gives a humble, perhaps MidWestern. Note: weeds: a black garment (dress) worn by a widow as a sign of mourning righteous: 1. (of a person or conduct) morally right or justifiable; virtuous. "feelings of righteous indignation about pay and conditions" 2. INFORMAL•US very good; excellent. "righteous bread pudding" |
| Once upon a time in Oxford (Only Once) He chewed tobacky, aimed for the spittoon, and missed. She glared at him, summoned Her Majesty's Dragoon. © Kåre Enga (7.january.2020) 24 syllables in two stanzas 12/12 (this happened; that followed). No real rhythm, meter, form. One rhyme: spittoon/dragoon. dra·goon: 1. noun: a member of any of several cavalry regiments in the British army. 2. verb: coerce (someone) into doing something. "she had been dragooned into helping with the housework" 103.549 |
| Long after the fight Welter? I was. My face flowed when mashed, blood spilt upon blue mats, spent tulip that dared not blush again. © Kåre Enga (5.january.2020) 24 syllables strung out in an odd pattern reflecting the wobble of a defeated welterweight (definition #3). Some alliteration: sp, bl. Welter: 1. verb (literary): move in a turbulent fashion. "the streams foam and welter"; 2. noun: a large number of items in no order; a confused mass. "there's such a welter of conflicting rules"; 3. noun: short for welterweight (140 to 147 pounds or 63.5–67 kg). For:

| Red poppies blow I pen a poem predicting war while poor children pocket pastries. Am I prescient. Am I wrong. © Kåre Enga (3.january.2020) 5/4/4/4/4/3 = 24 syllable Free verse not dependent on rhyme or rhythm. Kept together by alliteration. The line breaks can be a pause while reading out-loud. 24 syllable Prompt is prescient: having or showing knowledge of events before they take place. Title from: "In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place, and in the sky, The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard among the guns below." John McCrae |
| ** Image ID #2208824 Unavailable ** This was our home: the tipsy balcony, three flights of stairs, each brick holding a memory of where we fell or where we hid. Go there! Bring one home, so I can hold it in my hands take what life force still remains, tuck it into my heart. © Kåre Enga (3.january.2020) 8 lines free verse. For:

| Yrt Nallag Yrt Nallag! We walk it backwards to a time when knights wore armor, when their gallantry was a 'thing'. 3/5/8/5/3 no rhyme nor rhythm. 103.533 |
