Melancholy Regret – Hodgepodge

Life balance, Poetry | Posted by MeeAugraphie
Apr 23 2009

Today was a tad stressful, but had some great moments at the same time – and certainly ended well.

The Writer’s Digest Poetic Asides Prompt today was regret and I regret I put it off until so late at night, but I posted an acrostic there and was happy with it, but I had first written two verses of an untitled one I chose not to use:

The Letter

we deeply regret,
the letter began
and she put her head
into her hands

she didn’t bother
reading more
just packed her bags
then closed the door

And then I wrote another Acrostic, somedays, they really appeal to me:

Regret

Recession found
Equality denied
Grants revoked
Residuals lost
Emotions flogged
Tempers flared

And then I asked Leon to give me three words and wrote:

Rained In

he brings me
cabbage soup
to warm my soul

while storm rages
outside our door

beach bothers not
to fight back as
waves pull sand
out to sea

I wonder
if my heart
will wash away

when there is
no more cabbage soup
delivered

The three words: storm beach cabbage.

National Poetry Month – Go!

Ons Single Impression, Poetry | Posted by MeeAugraphie
Apr 01 2008

National Poetry month began today. I chose to start with One Single Impression’s prompt: laughter as my first prompt, after all, writing poetry brings laughter to my heart… OK, and melancholy, too, but laughter at the pure joy of writing.

Flaccid muscles fight
as humor scores a direct hit
melancholy overthrown
