Micropoetry Month: Nov 2017: #23

Ghana, Naani, relationship

We are trying the Naani today at Rajani’s. The Naani  is a four line poem with 20-25 syllables. The first two lines provide the subject that the next two bring to an interesting close.

Micropoetry Month

I dream of shooting stars
collapsing into smithereens
the bouquet you offered
shrivels at your touch

2

the day you left 
you left with the sunshine
how time flies
this sunshine in my baby’s smile

Micropoetry Month: Nov 2017: #10

divorce, Nature, quadrille, relationship

Join the party at Rajani’s with your own micro poem in the comments section or using Mister Linky. There are no rules – whatever the muse whispers!

Today is free verse. We are to keep it down to whatever size is appropriate for “micro-poetry”. I’m trying the Quadrille (44 words) again. 🙂

Micropoetry Month

Whispers

you said you were leaving

I thought the winds passed through your mouth

as you spoke

carrying words away in emptiness of space

I heard only the echo

but echoes reverberate to haunt

now I’m left with traces of your smell

and diminishing whispers

(linked to Recuerda Mi Corazon.)

Bitterness, relationship

Join the party at Rajani’s with your own micro poem in the comments section or using Mister Linky. There are no rules – whatever the muse whispers!

I’m so sorry I couldn’t post or participate in Rajani’s fun for the past days. I attended a two-day Continental Colloquium for Pan-African Winters in Accra here. It is ending tonight with an Awards Dinner that I couldn’t be part of since I had to report at the office for an emergency. 🙂

Micropoetry Month

Does this resemble a tanka? 🙂

Burning

carrying you in my heart 

is a weighty affair

if only I could off load you 

light, paperweight

just like I drop my pants
