Mining

Mining 

Open my eyes, flick on the light,
write down the dreams I had that night,
hopefully to find
or perhaps to mine
some message divine.
One of hope, no matter how slight.

Good Morning! (Or evening if you stumble across this page then...) 

This is my attempt at the Clogyrnach style poem. It is a six lined Welsh poetic style that structured as follows:

8 syllables with an A rhyme
8 syllables with an A rhyme.
5 syllables with an B rhyme.
5 syllables with an B rhyme.
5 syllables with an B rhyme.
8 syllables with an A rhyme

That being said, how do you think I did?

Hobbled

Hobbled

Trying to get home, 
stuck with a monitored car, 
unable to speed.

Sorrow

Sorrow

Empty, and stripped bare.
Momma, Papa, eggs
all gone…
save two…
shattered in the remnants
of straw, string, and feathers
that once promised a happy nest,
a happy future…
the site of 5 little goslings
lined up in a row
as momma and papa lead them on,
to the delight of those watching.
A row that will never exist,
delight that will never manifest,
all seized in the night,
dashed upon the pavement.

Morning Prayers

 

Morning Prayers

Before Iron Rites,
candles lit, wine poured, praising
Gods and Ancestors.

Armchair weathermen 

painting the apocalypse 

for the coming storms.

Where is Iustitia?

Where is Iustitia? 

No justice, no peace.
Every last politician
has blood on their hands.

Fragments

Fragments

A hometown visit,
cleaning, talking to the dead,
others...and myself...
