I was invited by Leo formerly of Haiku Heights to join in the new Meme he has created, A Prompt Each Day, a daily dose of inspiration on his blog. Today’s prompt is a phrase, Better Late Than Never which we are to use to write a poem, short or long, or a story.
I’m experimenting with the Tetractys – a short poetry forms invented by Ray Stebbing. (My friend Jules is such an expert in this form) it consists of at least 5 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 syllables (total of 20). The Tetractys can be written in more than one verse, but then must each line must be followed by an inverted syllable count (10, 4, 3, 2, 1 syllables).
Late Bloomer
late
bloomer
petals shrunk
by the cold drought
your fragrance stagnated by the nettles
but like the vine, you reach out for sunshine
a golden bloom
unfurling
to be
me
