Hello friends,
Four poems this week. Enjoy! (And if you do, please consider supporting my work by purchasing either The Robots of Babylon or my new omnibus edition Knit Ink (and Other Poems).)
NEW MOON (Anagrammed Lines)
The Moon is a shy, bent tulip
that into blue symphonies
tilts a numb honey. It hopes
to be sun, paints the homily —
but, then, this is only a poem….OTHERWORLD (Triolet)
I have not left, nor have I stayed.
The Otherworld has taken me.
I’ve slipped between the cracks we made;
I have not left, nor have I stayed.
Someday, you’ll find me in the glade—
we'll meet beneath the knotted tree.
I have not left nor have I stayed.
The Otherworld has taken me.ZEUS AND OLYMPUS (Palindrome)
So:
Ah, Cronus!
We name open Olympus—aware still a deity rots onsite.
My Mnemosyne! Go next, far. Cognise. Resume:
No Muses lessen a Titan—a Titaness—else sum one Muse.
Resin, go craft xenogeny, so men.
My Metis: no story tied all.
Its era was up—
my lone poem a new sun
or Chaos.LOSS (Palindrome-by-Pairs)
Remove loss:
Rest well,
till we retire well —
till we stress love more.
