With Jealous Zeal


With jealous zeal, my parchment keep
The ink thereon did not come cheap!
My passion bled, foregoing sleep
 
My fantasies are mine to keep!
 
If you dare to touch my heap
I’ll assure
 
My wrath you’ll reap!

Writer's Block

I've rested beneath the soil,
hidden from the pen.

A cold blanket of writer’s block immures me.
A new day dawns; its rays paint my shallow grave with light.

My waking head tilts;
hands parting the walls of this prison.

This Poetry Shit's Weighing Me Down

 


On those nights I can not sleep

I seek of ways to grow my craft

I'll sit in bed while eating sweets

but all, I fear, that's grown's my ass

Thank you dear Deep Poetz for all amazing entries!!

Had said so earlier that would extend the deadline of comp.so many more could enter...sorry, couldn't be here myself that time today to extend!:(

But would sincerely request ..still if anyone need to enter, plz do the same..would consider the entries for another added 24 hours from now on...

Thanxx again you all fab micropoetzz, & would decide the trophy after i go through each n every entry yet again from tomorrow..Perhaps would loop in some seasoned poets here for their choices.

Cheerz all until we micromeet next time:)🤙

Cultivation

I evoke you, inspiration--
3:00 AM muse from a sleepless void;
blind gardening through darkness
of bare feet and cold linoleum.

In feral awakening of senses
between wolverine verses
of peculiar silences, I hear
poetry howl my name.

SOMNOLENCE MEMORIAL

Love letters written in
Lipstick on my pillow
Soliloquy surrender to night

Forgotten dreams:
Ivory shoes on bone staircase
House on the moon

My clock: I’m half past caring
Measuring life with each dawn

Sleepless in suburban
Silent white noise

Our Elusive Timbuktu    (a non-entry)


slithery skins in ignition
under holy Amavasya
crackle
drunken to their
alchemical cocktail

interlocked eyes
intertwined towers
growl
to jungle’s resonance


no ashen conversions

salted sweats drip inner
the iced lubricants


epitome of romance

this.

awakened equilibrium

Soulful Gratitudes!!!! for all lovely Deep Poetz who entered with such sculpted verses ..of no not sleepleznez ..but a poetic awakening as i read your heart-out art as micropoems here..would have been much gladdened if i could award a trophy to each one, but so as the comp. guideline goes, had to zoom in some entries which made a cut above others..however small or big that was..

Congratz to Layla, LobodeSanPedro & Nephele..But goes without saying, I love you all , all your poetic sun & starry poems on these skies here!  Honoured.. & Cheerz you all

Until we meet next time, whenever that is...,shine on write on as ever dear onezz!
Light & Love <3 xx

This is a bittersweet moment to see that our beautiful hostess is gone from Du.
All the entries were amazing and equally worthy of the trophy and needless to say I enjoyed contributing.
Thank you Uma, if you are watching offline.  I hope you will return in the near future to grace us with your beaturiful poetry, 'til then I hope you will find the love and happiness you deserve. xo
