   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!

| A candle's kiss I would weep for you — if I could — wax melting as vanilla filled the air. I would gladly give my life to show you a way to safety with my flare. So trim my wick! Go find a match! I'm waiting to brighten all your tomorrows with my light. And as I melt away — inhale my fragrance — know how I yearned to warm your nights. © Copyright 2013 Kåre Enga [179.81] (30.september.2022) 12 lines: xxa xxa xxb xxb For September'22 "Personify Writing Contest-CLOSED"  |

Once you were shy, hiding behind skirts, silent in the corner, trembling in the closet, safe until you spoke. Then you were hushed. And now you try to speak, liquid leaking from blood-shot eyes, writing across a blank face in a script best understood by sightless scribes. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.247b] (14.oktober.2021) 14 lines for October '21

| Made into an item and submitted to a contest but never got reviewed in almost a year. ** Image ID #1983250 Unavailable ** For you were ancient before you were born Enter the dreams of the waiting crone. Learn her wisdom with each wheezing moan. As woods clothe you against winds that bite, Darkness becomes refuge from fiery light. In her embrace let youthful dreams swim. In her depths let outside worlds dim. Forget whatever gnaws, chews or ails. Cast childhood aside along winding trails. Let go. Do not be bewildered, For you were ancient before you were born. See life renewing itself through the night. Everything will now seem familiar. Seek guidance from the watchful crescent 'fore morn. Reach home by following your own inner light. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.240] (7.oktober.2021) 14 lines. A sonnet (without perfect rhythm) somewhat like: aabbccddefgefg Persepolis Sonnet as in

| What I posted on the Newsfeed (as GC) not to offend the easily offended: I penned a 'pregunta' in response to Rhymer Reisen's red wasp, combining Express-it-in-Eight's prompt 'aflame', Beholden and Bianca's challenge for "The Writer's Cramp" . I won't enter it as I'm bitem-bound ... and lazy. A question, an answer. The pregunta (that's Spanish for 'question', 'pergunta' in Portuguese) is essential a form of a series of Q&A couplets. For me to make it poetic I would use rhythm, rhyme, alliteration, repetition... something. Rhymer's Red-bum Rising Does any old wasp set your ass aflame? Only when it's red and bears your name. So, it's okay to call you what I choose? Try it, punk, you've only one life to lose. Oh, touchy now like some wimpy snowflake! More like a blustery blizzard scrubbing your face. So about that pimple on your ass... Pop it quickly or kiss it fast. © Copyright 2022 Kåre Enga [179.74a] (27.august.2022) 8 lines; near rhyme aa,bb,cc,dd; 10/9 10/10 9/11 9/8 Earlier versions, musings: A question, an answer.

[74a] 10/9 10/10 9/10 9/8 Single son What did you mumble when your mother died? I mourned the woman who never knew me. And were you appalled when your father passed? Far better to go fast than linger. Now that you're an orphan how do you feel? Frankly, a weight has lifted for real. How can you be so brutally blunt? Bare was my back without brother. [74b] 10/10-mn 10/9-fp 10/9-fr 9/8-bw All these alliterations are also closely related linguistically. Another approach would be alternating tone/accent/stress like Tang Dynasty poetry did with tone patterns. I'll need to work on a better example.
