red shadows on deserted snowfall

by alfred booth, wanbli ska

Rated: 18+ · Book · Emotional · #1926559

A new book to house this year's (and future years) NationalPoetryMonth's daily poems.

I'm writing once again this year. This book is my special event place for thirty special poems.

Here for National Poetry Month in 2018, I'm participating but life has not been kind in the last 15 months, so I'm not always in writing mode.

I love the way you riffed off the bard. And I've loved reading you this month. I wish it could have lingered longer, even though I feel as though I need to sleep about a month to recover and get ready for next year.

Gorgeous, and Shakespearean all right. You have the voice perfectly. "keep my image sweet" Your image is sweet just like your words and how you blend them together.
This has been such a great April, and thank you for your words and lines that sweetened every prompt.

I could feel the frustration--and it feeds into mine. Thought provoking and emotion filled.

So clever and powerful to put across such effective words with perfect rhymes too. In awe yet again.

Sad and edgy. LOVE the sly couplets.

Complaints wrapped in beauty. I love the last question the most.

Love the images, "wind whisperers, embrace mountains, ornaments, lost, no longer pillars for life"
Such a sad situation that humans have become the varmints to nature here on earth.

Oh, sad and majestic, this poem. It has a steadfastness in its sound, mood, and block-like stanzas. I particularly love these lines:

trees, unlike dreams veering to nightmare
cannot defend themselves and slowly lose...

Lots of elements of Romanticism here, which I love. Well done 😊

I love this magical list of things in the pocket. Nicely done.

2018 PAD number 3 from prompt

we all have history
you were an accident
I was unwanted
and granny a drunken afterthought, the ninth
our fathers all died before we were born
your questions? they're like late night booze
you answer once and in the morning
everything changes for the worst
love?
I guess it happens, like on TV
but didn't God's only child die
for our sins and leave his heavenly
father and mortal mother bereaved
at the cross?

so, am I a sin?

discussion with a small child about love

2018 PAD number 3

No prompt available yet!

i stopped my search for dictionaries
but still listen to the music in their voices

are they angels? and will death deliver me
from wondering, awestruck, why i have been

thus chosen?

beetles and lady bugs quiver like arrows whistle
daffodils mumble and roses speak as clear as wind

trees are louder and oily patches on city streets
rumble like elephants when rain recites poetry

machines hum simplicity, their din purposeful
no angst when guessing about flutter crisps

as a child i invented languages to respond
they seemed content, was my muffled accent

truly sincere?

perhaps they are frivolous, or timid, or tainted somehow
and whisper like falling snow only for the fairest heart

i toy with sadness at moments when doubt draws near
they shed no tears and joy is contagious

the gift of a lifetime
[2018.2.4…b]
