Terzanelle Nr.05 — The Job
This is the job of writers and saints
turn up at the desk obeying the call
and do so alone, without complaint
sit in a manner of wonder, that’s all
open your mind with a curious wait
turn up at the desk obeying the call
an angel is guarding your muse at the gate
so none of your foes will suffer to strike -
open your mind to a curious wait
with freedom to be … just do what you like
filling your heart with a permanent smile
so none of your foes will...
turn up at the desk obeying the call
and do so alone, without complaint
sit in a manner of wonder, that’s all
open your mind with a curious wait
turn up at the desk obeying the call
an angel is guarding your muse at the gate
so none of your foes will suffer to strike -
open your mind to a curious wait
with freedom to be … just do what you like
filling your heart with a permanent smile
so none of your foes will...

Mighty Minds and Pens
Ever run a marathon for a whole month long?
Get your writing hats on and we can quickly learn
Test your heart’s desire and try to remain strong
We will spit fire and then we can feel the burn
Come on a journey with me, take on this challenge
We’ll chill, think and spill some ill ink for thirty days
Together we can do some great poetic damage
When we set our mighty minds and pens all ablaze
Get your writing hats on and we can quickly learn
Test your heart’s desire and try to remain strong
We will spit fire and then we can feel the burn
Come on a journey with me, take on this challenge
We’ll chill, think and spill some ill ink for thirty days
Together we can do some great poetic damage
When we set our mighty minds and pens all ablaze

Follow me not
Hello, so I did not post this music in NaPo but wanted some of my readers to have the advantage of hearing where my head was at when I wrote this, so please copy paste and listen while reading and as always thanks for looking 🤗

second song it’s blue :) lol
Why follow me
if you do not read
or add me
to your “List”
It seems remiss,
to keep up like this ...

Foolish April
Time to write a poem a day.
What the heck am I going to say?
I sit and stare at this cursed page:
who wants to read my angst and rage?
Look! 25 words; I’m halfway there,
but is this a poem I want to share?
There’s nothing of substance in my mind,
not a shred of poetry can I find.
Five rhyming couplets, now I’m done!
Tomorrow I’ll write a better one.

in alcoholic mid-morning fields
young boy dreaming
nothing will scare you,
the spoons inside, pool
to sea and sall screams back to you
the foolish floats
as a hook waiting
a throat of wren singing
and I am laying now down
for tomorrow
baby-milk sky
the nautilus dried fruit sun
seeing and sawing
I magnet the compass
until the north stops spinning
the mothe rumbling, mumbling
stumbling upstairs
and the stars are looking
to find you (see if you)
are looking for them
nothing will scare you,
the spoons inside, pool
to sea and sall screams back to you
the foolish floats
as a hook waiting
a throat of wren singing
and I am laying now down
for tomorrow
baby-milk sky
the nautilus dried fruit sun
seeing and sawing
I magnet the compass
until the north stops spinning
the mothe rumbling, mumbling
stumbling upstairs
and the stars are looking
to find you (see if you)
are looking for them

Rosetta's Stone
He found a beautiful stone formerly owned by Rosetta
Now his dome can conform to her love language better
When he first met her, he didn't quite understand
All that loving that woman would ultimately demand
Now they stand hand in hand journeying together
Not always seeing eye to eye but every day gets better
Like Correta, she's a Queen and he's her loving King
Praying for longevity cause love's the greatest thing
Both bring baggage that they're trying to unpack
Discarding garbage that they've held on their backs
No longer...

WATER
Hot and pouring
Where it shouldn’t be
Steam changing
Our atmosphere
Thickening the air
And seeding clouds
Inside our minds
Yes
This is the time
For us to think
Pressure relief
It makes total sense
Keep trying everything
We’ll run it dry
If we have to
Too much pressure
Broken valves
Ain’t that the way
These days
We are all
Hot and pouring
Where it shouldn’t be
Steam changing
Our atmosphere
Thickening the air
And seeding clouds
Inside our minds
Yes
This is the time
For us to think
Pressure relief
It makes total sense
Keep trying everything
We’ll run it dry
If we have to
Too much pressure
Broken valves
Ain’t that the way
These days
We are all
Hot and pouring

Start Of NaPo
Writing poetry is hard
I haven’t done it in a while
And yet I still entered NaPo
With a huge smile
I’m in over my head again
When it comes to writing this
So I feel like every poem
Will be complete gibberish
But unlike last year
I am not going in blind
Though I still believe
I am out of my mind
I don’t have the time
To do any of this
But here we go again
Into agonizing bliss
I haven’t done it in a while
And yet I still entered NaPo
With a huge smile
I’m in over my head again
When it comes to writing this
So I feel like every poem
Will be complete gibberish
But unlike last year
I am not going in blind
Though I still believe
I am out of my mind
I don’t have the time
To do any of this
But here we go again
Into agonizing bliss

The Unspoilt Days
The world, was once young, and wide
free, with many empty spaces
where dragons, or wyrm could hide.
The mountains high, the valleys deep,
the woods, and glades as yet untamed
And nature's sound, knew no sleep.
But now, those ancient times, are far away
where the spell of peace, has since been broken
by new magic, that brings perpetual day.
The mortals now, have no love for brook, or stone
nor for leaf or bough or stream, and left unloved
the ancient ways, are forgotten, and unknown.
Where once, there was a tranquil calm ...
free, with many empty spaces
where dragons, or wyrm could hide.
The mountains high, the valleys deep,
the woods, and glades as yet untamed
And nature's sound, knew no sleep.
But now, those ancient times, are far away
where the spell of peace, has since been broken
by new magic, that brings perpetual day.
The mortals now, have no love for brook, or stone
nor for leaf or bough or stream, and left unloved
the ancient ways, are forgotten, and unknown.
Where once, there was a tranquil calm ...

[ NaPoWriMo 2021 Collection ] Satellite
Her ghost is still orbiting Earth. . ."
Defined: That which is
Of all removed, come and gone
she was destined
to remain alabaster tissue
tidally locked to Earth—
her Stygian, volcanic maria
perpetually waxing and waning
betwixt ancient-crustal mesa
and pockmarked impact craters
Slightly brighter than worn asphalt
contrasted by relatively dark space
her specter glissades
across black, obsidian ice
of an infinite cosmos—
an iron ball at the end of a chain ...

Holding The Rein
I am grasping for words
Can't find the right thing to write about
My mind is not in sync with my heart
But I have to spill something
A sense of ennui has filled me for days
These past three months have been hard
Draining me of my energy and strength
I need to be strong, I must be
Even if I have to carry all the load on my back
There is no room for weakness
When I am holding the rein
Can't find the right thing to write about
My mind is not in sync with my heart
But I have to spill something
A sense of ennui has filled me for days
These past three months have been hard
Draining me of my energy and strength
I need to be strong, I must be
Even if I have to carry all the load on my back
There is no room for weakness
When I am holding the rein
