Poet Play
Across the screen in flicks of wonder
swells the spray of poetic play
Born from the grittle of persistent leader
who with due gravity apologized for
a misspoken word this day
Here in land of Wordle where such
anomalies plant low lying trigger relishes
a daisy chain spreads a crack through her and himility
weaving cool refreshment through this humid way
As all through the forest the queen bird
Wren calls claim in sweet pealed misplaced humility
Having sparked the sweet welcomed echoed refrain
Tripped the trigger of low lying relishes
springing collective all in joy-full smiling embellishes
Thanks for the fun :)
or on a bitter-sweet note....
in the flowing dark
With gentle
flicks he slaps her sweet dewy bottom cheek
As passion swells
they pull the covers against the spray
Pulled down by
gravity and grittle, implanted seed they pray
Hope pulls the
trigger on their empassioned relishes
As his chain of
stoicism springs a sudden crack spilling
“I love you, I love you, I love you, I am sorry” he whispers
in the flowing dark
Himility gushes pouring hot and wet and true dripping in the
crook of her neck
A wet refrain as he lays claim to their empty waiting crib
Their world shimmering in tears of impotent regret
Number one is a delightful tease, and number two takes wordling to a new level. Written before the email storm, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteWhat creative play! I enjoyed both, the first is full of smiles and the second is delicious with a twist.
ReplyDeleteOooh thank you Irene - happy to share some smiles with a twist :)
DeleteDr. PEARL! Good morning to you. So glad to read you this morning. Thank you for your sweet offerings/wordle pies. The first, funny considering yesterday's grittle gang. The second, sad one but waxed poetic.
ReplyDeletewinks....
Benjamin - thank you, thank you, and again thank you. Winks right back to you :)
DeleteLove the mossy trees and this is a smile conjuring line, "springing collective all in joy-full smiling embellishes," happy day to you, Pearl!!
ReplyDeleteOh Hannah - Delighted to return a smile to a champion smiler! :)
DeleteOh my you certainly had a good time with these wordle words. And a tribute to our fearless leader Bren, wonderful. Both pieces are a delightful experience. The first for its remembrance of a laughing fun-loving community, and the second for its playfulness. Thank you,
ReplyDeleteElizabeth
Yes, I liked them both..the part about the forest was very good!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Anell ... and thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to stop and post - will be over your way when I get back later in the day! (whoops a rhyme there?)
Deletegosh, Pearl, the first was profound yet fun....almost stream-of-consciousness ..... the second was a great story with cool ending....
ReplyDeleteJoanne - I am moved that you enjoyed - 'profound?!" now that 's a word I'll put in my favorite comment bank :) Truly thanks for stopping, delighted you enjoyed and happy you took the time to comment. I will visit when I am back at computer later on today.
DeletePearl, I love "Poet Play", what a fun read. I can see you had fun with this.

This was really very good - both held much meaning, but a lightness in the writing that didn't make it heavy to read, simply thought-provoking.

ReplyDeleteAn absolutely pleasure to read these!
ReplyDeletePearl, what fun you had playing - with words and that idea of "anomalies", those fruitful and "joy-full" mistakes. I like "weaving cool refreshment through this humid way".

You capture our morning folly well as we were 'at play'.
ReplyDeleteYour second verse was a bit sad though. Perhaps because I knew several couples 'trying' - some went on to adopt. And yet their are others who make different choices.
I had fun in my own way here:

Your second poem touched me deeply. Its visual clarity is astounding, Pearl.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you'll find time to read and comment on mine during week. I'm at http://miskmask.wordpress.com/2012/07/16/burn/
I can see you grinning while writing the first poem. What fun! Then your expression changed, but that's the nature of poetry. Loved both.
ReplyDelete:D Well written. Thanks for putting the grin on my face.
ReplyDelete:D A well placed smile in a well written piece, Pearl.
