Hey, bubs and grubs! Two poems today! (What luck!) Today’s prompt came in the form of heritage seeds and a couple of websites. Because flowers apparently inspire me to poetry, I have a haiku for you all, and, because part of this month is about experimenting with different forms, a fun form called ‘The Blitz’.
Confused? Scared? Wondering what GloPoWriMo/NaPoWriMo is? You should be.
Unheard sound
Bells of Ireland
Sway and, in the garden, make
Music for the birds.
Now or Later
Take these flowers
Take them now
Now to hold
Now to give
Give these flowers
Give them away
Away for love
Away for money
Money to spend
Money to hold
Hold me fast
Hold me close
Close to your heart
Close me in
In your arms
In your mind
Mind my heart
Mind full of love
Love for you
Love of gifts
Gifts bring sweetness
Gifts of compassion
Compassion of thought
Compassion loves
Loves me
Loves you
You do not care
You smile
Smile for love
Smile for friendship
Friendship will fade
Friendship will sour
Sour as a lemon
Sour of heart
Heart, mind, body and soul
Heart of ice
Ice in your veins
Ice will freeze
Freeze the flowers
Freeze and stop
Stop this pain
Stop up your words
Words can pierce
Words can tear
Tear up my flowers
Tears come later
Later for me
Later for love
Love…
Me…
