ON THE ROAD TO HEALING
(a shadorma)
Open road
spanning before me;
noise of life
behind me;
driving alone in the car
is therapeutic.

FACE THE MUSIC
(a piku)
In the end,
what
will consume me?

This poem is inspired by Musical Notes #3 prompt from Elizabeth. The YouTube link was for Jennifer Warnes & Leonard Cohen: “Joan of Arc.” http://youtu.be/gtwUyDPXROQ The instruction is to use the song as inspiration to write whatever we want…as long as our response is 15 words or less.
Also posted as Day 50 at “100 Days of Summer” (on Facebook), in response to one of the week’s themes: “Face The Music.”
In another moment of serendipity, the prompt posted today at dVerse Poets Pub was to write a “character” poem. While this poem doesn’t fit their prompt instructions entirely, I’ve definitely written in response to a character. Please go read their prompt and check out some of the other poems!
MELANCHOLY MEMORIES
(a shadorma)
comforting
and comfortable
a friendship
for a short
season that passed too quickly,
yet not forgotten

TWO SLICES OF LATE SUMMER PI(KU)
sun’s rays, still
warm;
yet different
shadows shift
with
passing of time

In a serendipitous moment, I logged in to dVerse Poets Pub today (8-18) to find the prompt to be about summer. I shall link this poem there.
