I was reading a book on poetry forms while driving out to Colorado w/ family. Thought I'd practice the forms and do some writing. What a place for inspiration!
This poem is called Mountaintop Dreams...(Shapely or Concrete form for anyone who cares. I find this stuff fascinating..words and how they roll off your tongue, how they sound..how they create a picture...ahhh!)
Passion
Uncertain Distraction Re-entry
Lofty Downtrodden pit Love
This is called AWAKE-(Diamante)
AWAKE
perky, alive
watching, laughing, running
yawning, drifting, bobbing
eyelids shut
Sleepy
Seasons
The rock that you stumble over
is as hard as a Nebraska winter
but as soft as a warm, fleece blanket
The grass beneath your picnic basket
breathes life like a Spring shower
Will you walk barefoot?
The sand is hot as tamales
baking your toes in a mid-July oven
Why does this season end so soon?
