What's Next (Senryu/Sedoka)

 

Photoshop manipulation by The Real Cie
If you use it, please credit me

lonely day to day

those who don't know me think to

quickly branding me lazy


I wish I knew you

when my heart was full of love

when my eyes were full of stars

Write a "what's next" poem.

Write a "lazy" poem.

I created the new Poetry Forms badge using an image by Thought Catalog that I found on Pixlr. You are welcome to use it, no credit needed.

NaPoWriMo 2020 Day 17 + April PAD Challenge 2020 Day 17: Sedoka For a Lost World


visitors to Earth
long after life had vanished
found many exotic things
tomes filled with strange glyphs
would they ever decipher
the meaning of our lost words?

Carpe Diem Little Ones: Sedoka: In the Mirror

Image by Michael Gaida from Pixabay

Face in the mirror
Painting its cheeks with color
While painting its heart with lies

Painted-on pretty
Never healed a single wound
I was lying to myself

~Cie~


Notes:
It's been said that I have body dysmorphic disorder. In any case, I have always thought myself shockingly, astoundingly, hideously ugly. I used to wear a lot of make-up. I haven't worn make-up in about 15 years because it causes my eczema to flare.
I think this society places far too much value on a very narrow definition of physical "beauty." We live in a world where hotness is the most desired attribute and lust is the most coveted sensation. I don't think this is healthy for either individuals or society as a whole.
