Shape Of Our Words

SHAPE OF OUR WORDS
(a shadorma)

Loving words
are curvy, luscious,
passionate;
life-giving.
Ultimatums: lanky words
full of destruction.

Healing

 

HEALING
(a shadorma)

My hardship
lessens as, softly,
you echo
the pain in
my heart, understanding me
like none ever have.

Change Of Plans

CHANGE OF PLANS
(a shadorma)

I have stayed
on the beaten path
for too long
without much
substance; internal pressures
nudge me back in place.

Inspired by two prompts:
Three Word Wednesday (8/15/2012): beat, pressure, and substance; and Poetic Asides #188: to write a “change of plans” poem.
