you know its the notes
I am entire buckets of trash when it comes to making shape poems. I can make three kinds of shape poems: Triangles, diamonds, and funnels. So, from now on, when someone says "shape poem," I'm doing text art. I may also be entire buckets of trash when it comes to text art, but I don't think my text art rates quite as many trash buckets as my attempts at shape poems.

It's probably obvious, but the "space oddity" line is a homage to David Bowie.

Senryu: The Color Of...

something unwanted
the color of blood on cloth
in the dark of night

notes
I recently wrote about an event that happened closing in on 40 years ago that was more of a turning point than even I realized until I started writing about it. You can read the piece here.

M is for Mini Monoverse


This one looked like fun. I thought I'd give it a try!

Loves Me Not

Pick daisy
Lay lazy
Feel crazy
Mind hazy
Wax phrasey

Clear jewel
Love's own fool
Used like tool
Skipping school
Jump in pool

He is gone
Just a con
A Don Juan
He moved on
I'm a pawn

Can't forget
That we met
Eyes are wet
Mind is set
Not done yet

~Opal~



The Mini-monoverse is a poetry form originated by Emily Romano. Each Mini-monoverse is made up of two stanzas of five three-syllable lines. They rhyme scheme is a/a/a/a/a for the first stanza and b/b/b/b/b for the second stanza. For a double Mini-monoverse just add two more stanzas. They rhyme scheme for the third stanza should be c/c/c/c/c and for the fourth stanza, d/d/d/d/d. It is desirable that the Mini-monoverse tell a story, but this is not a hard and fast rule.


Example #1:
How Many Times?

Thunderbolt!
Foolish dolt,
On a colt,
Feels the jolt
Of a volt.

Aftermath:
Venting wrath
In the bath,
Second swath!
Do the math.
