Day 21 PAD 2023

 


Special challenge from prompt: write six six-word poems, each using one of the above words.

He
pulls back
love’s broken bow.

Nothing
leans like
a child’s eyes.

The
day breaks
on empty park.

Demons
saw free
our deepest fears.

She
tears a
poem for her.

Wounds
don’t heal.
They only change.

Poetic Form: Hay(na)ku

April Poetry Challenge 2021: Day Twenty-Eight

  


Day 28 Prompt: Remix

Form: Nonet


“In a Park: Part II”


In a park there is a statue of

a girl holding a red balloon

shaped like a heart. She looks up

with a serious gaze.

I always think she

is wondering

what to do

with it

now.

After

a moment

I hear laughter

from my three daughters

as they run through flowers.

I walk away from the girl

holding a heart shaped red balloon,

sad because she cannot feel this love.

Poetic Form 1: Bref double


The Park

There is a small park
next to our home.
No swings or slides,
just a variety of birds and trees.

My daughters like to see how
the seasons leave their mark
on the tree’s branches,
how the flowers turn to leaves.

There are robins and larks
that build their homes that my girls
always want to see. It sparks
wonder I leave unidentified.

They see beauty in the variety of bark
and wings, as only a heart can betide.


Poetic Form #1: Bref double

A Bref double is a 14 line French poetic form consisting of three quatrains and a final couplet.
There are a few variations for the rhyme scheme. I used:

axbc
xaxc
axab
ab
