Today at Rajani’s we are to write ekphrastic poetry. Add to the thousand words a picture says! Find an image that inspires you and write about it using any form of micro-poetry. Share your poem using comments or Mister Linky.

Micropoetry Month

The photo is by kind permission from Gilly. I have written a haiku on this photo here before but this time I’m trying the Quadrille. (44 words)

Release Me

if I could reach into you

 a sorcerer

 and read your soul

I’ll discover your desires

 shrouded in unholy places

a twinkle depressing the coldness

from the night’s

leftover of lovemaking

I will discover

glimmers of passions spent

on alters of self-adoration

release me
