Summer of 2021 I set myself a challenge: to write 15 heroic crowns of sonnets (15 sets of 15 interlinked sonnets, 225 poems in total) in 31 days. I named it "liaison", as it was visions of a love affair. Here is the 8th poem from the Epsilon cycle. #poetrysky #booksky #author #romance #passion

Text of poem in Comic Sans font on sky-blue background:

I wish I were a superhero

I wish I were a superhero,
above, and soaring high,
or swooping down to save the day—
no one would call me shy.

I wish I were a superhero,
then I could disappear
and not be told to raise my voice
“so everyone can hear.”

I wish I were a superhero,
clever, quick, and fast.
My presentation would be done,
and I’d sit down—at last!

A small study in distance, denial and cut flowers.

#poemsabout #rot #poetrysky #poetsky

STILL FLOWERS

The flowers lasted eighteen days.
I know because I counted.

By six, the water had gone cloudy.
By nine, the first stem bent.
By thirteen, they had started
leaning on each other
for structural reasons.

I changed the water anyway.

From the kitchen door
they still looked like flowers.

I tried the hallway.

Still flowers.

The sofa:
flowers.

Three feet away:

less convincing.

Up close
they had become
a collection of failures,
minor and major.

Apparently beauty
has a minimum viewing distance.

Nobody tells you this.

Museums know it.

Pointillists knew it.

By eighteen
I knew it too.

A poem by Carol Carman called 'The Wonders of The World'

 

The wonders of the world are such

We do not think about them much.

Let off the leash, we’ve dropped our guard,

We’ve set fire to our own back yard.

We’ve poisoned our sweet water well

 And set a course for living hell.

Greed and love of money’s turning

Paradise to embers burning.

 

The wonders of the world are such

We need to think about them much.

We need to halt, make reparations,

Safeguard future generations,

Stop this senseless self-attack;

Earth gives us life – we must give back

Her balance and her harmony

Because there is no planet B.

✨Writing Prompt✨

Anniversaries aren’t always pleasant, or happy, or causes for celebration; often an anniversary is a memory, a reminder.

How will you be remembered? 📚✒️📝💌

supposed to stop
