Culmination
There's nothing owed;
an offshoot hails
this alternate mainsail
draped in linen canvas;
a gossamer net pregnant with gales
Brine is brusque on the tender of us
salt seasons our seasons
Eyelashes fresh with sunlight to catch
We brim with psyches stocked
to the brim
And what is our scent?
Fragrant years flung
hearts strung out - dried daylong
on the end of a prong
Lifelines swaying from skies
signs of living
as we die
Hieroglyphs hung too high

*takes a bow*
Thank you :) This might be the one time I totally disagree, because I intentionally added those back-to-back repetitions in that stanza. I really felt like breaking a cardinal rule of poetry 🤣

I don't know that it's a cardinal rule; repitition has worked countless times through the ages. 📝

Ahhh, well, right now is proof that I check FB usually before DUP.
I don't known why, except maybe FB is just junkfood for the brain? And interacting with refined folk here requires (in the best way) more mental presence and consideration?
Hmmm...
But I stand by my comments, NG, or TN. Am I right?

You may be... I am considering this. I don't think I'm evil, but I'm not super good either, at least not by the definitions of the super good people.

"There's nothing owed

I'm getting tripped up in the transition of statements here
"Eyelashes fresh with sunlight to catch
we brim with psyches stocked"
and there as well.
May I suggest a semi colon after Line 1 and a capitaluzation beginning Line 9?
Otherwise, an engaging write.

I thought 'on the end of a prong' was unnecessary you had me in these intricate webs of rhyme and repetition and rhythm until then and it dragged me out as if almost uncomfortable in the mouth but that was just my opinion. I think this is gorgeous, I love the fresh, clever, wry way you write.

I miss writing as much as I did months ago. I think I got burnt out in a way, but I gotta get back into it more consistently. We have a piece in our soul that needs it, don't we?
Thank you friend :)

Stanza 3 and 4 tore right through me, awesome.
"And what is our scent?
Fragrant years flung".
"Lifelines swaying from skies
signs of living
as we die ".
and your username still drops
like bombs from the sky,
and that one puddle from Jurassic park number one
of the oncoming fight for life that lay ahead.
well penned.
