No light dares to wake,
Sinking in the ocean deep
Of the velvet shade.

no man is an #island
unto himself; and all the world's
a stage, or so they say,
men and women merely players.
so in this soliloquy, solipsistic
we build bridges of words
and scream across the screen
to find someone real

Every #Wednesday we'll share a #waterford. Respond with your own (4 lines; 8, 4, 4, 8 syllables; ABBA rhyming scheme). These are slices of feel-good art so keep them positive!

Ticking hands on the office clock.
The sun shining,
sweet birds flying -
an bhfuil cead agam dul amach?

Poetry enriches our lives by giving us a deeper understanding of ourselves, the world, and the human condition.

Writer's Block

Keys are in hand.
I'm buckled and ready to drive.

Put the damn key

marionettes in matrimony
red threads tied
under the eyes of the living
and across the netherworld
the families unite
with offerings and blessings
bonds laid to rest
carolled inside a bonfire
their souls
released into another life
