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 😊

2018 PAD number 8

to outmaneuver its twisting feet
the thin threshold of its icy hands
guiding the tower of darkness
as starlight blinks out imagination

to stop the in-between lurking
of good-versus-evil uproar
its trancelike dance gyrating
like a seasoned sex worker
who every Sunday
remembers the foundations set down
by Sister Maria Joseph's rainbow smile
and returns to light a candle
hoping to appease the encroaching fear
that something someday will succeed
and steal her youth and beauty

they both choose to partner love and life
in dances that recreate the warmth of sunlight

to tame monsters
[2018.8.4...a]
