Four Poems

Hello friends,

Four poems this week. Enjoy! (And if you do, please consider supporting my work by purchasing either my omnibus edition Knit Ink (and Other Poems) or something from my store.)

Alternatively, buy me a coffee on Ko-Fi!

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.

PERMUTATIONS (Anagrammed Lines)

Atoms erupt in
mutant prose. I
turn a poem — its
matter is upon
me, to trap us in
utopian terms….

At resumption,
I must open art,
or input a stem
torn up as time —
use important
permutations....

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.

LOSS (Palindrome)

Warm in me,
loss is so laden.
I pined.
A loss is solemn.
I’m raw.
