   L'aura del campo 'é a lua, é a lua, na quintana dos mortos' ♣ Federico García Lorca ♣  L'aura del campo. A breeze in the meadow. So it began the last day of Spring, 2005; on the 16th day of the month of Light of the year 162. This is a supplement to my daily journal written to a friend, my muse; notes I do not share. Here I will share what the breeze has whispered to me. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS!

| Day of the Dead November 1, 2020 Quentin put his red shoes on... and added glitter. If he was going to dance with David all night long he'd need more than an attitude... so lots of glitter. He sang. Let's sway until my ankles bend. Let's pray that this night doesn't end before the morning glitter in your hair glitter everywhere before I put my red shoes back on before my Muse wakes up and tells me this is but a dream. Let them say, quit making a scene! I'll say I'm your dancing queen! then shower them with glitter for even a queen is entitled to her dreams for even the dead deserve their own night out with glitter lots of glitter in their hair. © Kåre Enga [177.205] (1.september.2020) 27 line 'story' poem with rhythm and rhyme embedded. Two key lines used from "Let's Dance": Put on your red shoes Let's sway For:
"Let's Dance" Let's dance Put on your red shoes And dance the blues Let's dance To the song they're playin' on the radio Put on your red shoes While color lights up your face Let's sway Sway through the crowd to an empty space If you say run, I'll run with you If you say hide, we'll hide Because my love for you Would break my heart in two If you should fall into my arms And tremble like a flower Let's dance Let's dance Let's dance for fear your grace should fall Let's dance for fear tonight is all Let's sway You could look into my eyes Let's sway under the moonlight, This serious moonlight And if you say run, I'll run with you And if you say hide, we'll hide Because my love for you Would break my heart in two If you should fall Into my arms And tremble like a flower Let's dance Let's dance Let's dance Put on your red shoes And dance the blues Let's dance to the song they're playin' on the radio Let's sway under the moonlight, This serious moonlight [Repeat until the end:] Let's dance Let's sway |

| ten days of smoke sunflowers look up -- a patch of blue. [199a] my legs ache -- young people jog down to the river [199b] the breeze takes away the smoke -- when will it bring the chill [199c] thirsty skies -- a leaky hose quenches a green lawn. [199d] © Kåre Enga [177.199] (26.avgust.2020) |

| Draft Notice 1969 upon his breast a medallion upon his coffin a flag in his hand the cachet of his death © Kåre Enga [177.192b] (18.avgust.2020) 24σ = 4/4/5/2/3/6 Cachet, in a more modern sense than in the original: a warrant formerly issued by a French king who could warrant imprisonment or death in a signed letter under his seal.

First ditty left here: Comment from the corner sachet of lavender sashay into my life your seal of approval cachet of heart's delight [192a] 24 = 6/6/6/6 xaxa |
| In the year 2010 We gazed into crystal balls; dazzled by what was shown in limpid pools, why didn't we see our fall? 24σ: 7/10/7 a(a)a (a) = near rhyme © Kåre Enga [177.190b] (16.avgust.2020) For:
Note: I confused limpid (bright, clear) with limp (in the sense 'worn-out') and wrote the following in a flash before I realized my misuse of limpid and put limping instead. I wrote the above in response to this so I leave it here to amuse myself: Chores Mopping these floors with ragged cheer, limping through August's dusty heat, as worn out as this endless year. © Kåre Enga [177.190a] (16.avgust.2020) 24σ: 8/8/8 axa |
| Sunset of 2020 in mourning for Minneapolis, Kenosha, Portland... A You say protesters that cross this line must be shot. I pray as I sit silent with my trembling friends. B Fearful, you shoot to kill anything that moves. Hungry, we loot dumpsters for aluminum cans. C Don Juan Tyrant spreads hatred slick as anal jelly. At dawn our sons make sandwiches for unfed children. D By morning: you lament broken glass and spray paint. In mourning: I sweep up pieces of shattered dreams. E All crime must be dealt with by death you scream. My time here on Earth is best spent healing. F Is it us-versus-them, as clear as black and white? I fuss over which shade of grey suits your casket. © Kåre Enga [177.189.a-f] (31.avgust.2020) Note: Persian languages are verb final which gives a sense of rhyme. I use words that rhyme near the begininng of these couplets. 9/13 syllables but how many metrical feet? Perhaps 4 or 5. In English that's 4 or 5 stressed syllables. There is also a sense of the suppressed or oppressed speaking to someone in power. Tapa, Landay or Misr'a is folk poetry, a Pashto couplet. Landay means "short" in Pashto. The Tapa or Landay is mostly found in Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. It is called Tapa in the more eastern Pashto dialects. For:

| Quepos in June Families gather for ice cream or shave ice before evening's chill. Sun sets over the placid promenade as laughter fills the air. The sky now mills with chatter. Lo, the grackles have come home to roost. © Kåre Enga [177.186] (14.avgust.2020) (3 lines: 16/16/16) The elements of the Triveni are: 1. a poem in 3 lines made up of a complete couplet (a ghazal sher, a two line poem in itself.) followed by a single line. {in 2 written in lines of equal length. 3. end words are unrhymed. However, in a ghazal sher the main rhyme is found somewhere near the end of L1 and is repeated somewhere in the last half of L2. 4. If the Triveni is written in a series, each Triveni should be rlated but be able to stand alone. When written in a series, the end word of L2 of the sher is repeated in refrain, as the end word of L2 in subsequent Trivenis. 5. written with L3 a different perspective of the same theme of L1 & L2.
