Pantoum to Sadness

Sadness is a stealthy seductress
She whispers alluring words
Offering the comfort of familiarity
On well-worn paths into the darkness

She whispers alluring words
Begging me to come to her once again
On well-worn paths into the darkness

Silver Lining

Every cloud has a silver lining
Every devil a silver tongue

Drunk on your lies
I rationalize
Synthesize
Forming a solution
that is no longer me...

Lost in useless territory.

Wandering without purpose
Is my useless purpose

Branches reaching towards me
With twisted arms welcoming
And blocking passage at the same time

Do branches speak the language
Of the world, my world, the fairy world
The languages I am yet...

Phantom Pain

My mission was written in stone
Hoping to mend itself with the rain
That seems unreasonable, now

 I predicted the outcome before the start

Dancers before you were too
aggressive or too passive, never just right

 They must have been

Awareness

Awareness comes to me as a surprise
You confess your melancholy without regret
that is peppered in daydreams and delusions
vaporizing like the morning dew

Depending on which identity I chose to reveal,
I recognize your profile from museum...

I love this poem. Such a beautiful tribute to someone we love but aren’t meant to be with forever. I’m totally into tarot too.

Holy moly, this one is amazing. You blew the socks off my attempts at pantoums. I did need a dictionary for “superciliousness” but it was worth expanding my vocabulary. Great work!

most of mine only get one or two votes. Most people seem to read and not vote. I would say pay to promote one or two but I’ve had no luck. I get 100 views within an hour with no comments.

Thanks so much for your kind words. You’ve inspired me to write another pantoum. I was stuck on a poem and that’s the push it needed. Thanks so much for recommending the Elizabeth Bishop poem. It’s amazing!

you always have interesting commentary. So I should or should not cover my flag tattoo? Seriously, it’s from 20 years ago and has a much different meaning now :)

You are the best. “Watching Congress bicker is like watching a sea urchin trying to hump a fig newton.” is my new favorite line.

thank you so much. I always appreciate your thoughtful feedback. I can’t wait to read what poems come from your use of oblique-strategies. I think it will be my key to writing something new and not rewriting the same over and over.
