Full Moon Walk

Alternating homophonic and rhyming lines. 


Full Moon Walk

A tentative calm, a

Feeling found

Attentive comma,

(I missed a sound)

I've found another 

Place to fit it

Five hounds and others

Race to fitted

Star-sung serenades

Broken by clouds

Stars hung air in a 

Redolent shroud 

A cape for a spell

Sereneness crept

Escape for a spell

In measured step
A frog and crickets
Humming in tune
Off rocks and creek, it's
Dawn all too soon

Six-syllable lines with even-lined rhyming. Intended meter of unSTRESSED unSTRESSED unSTRESSED.

"Might've" is not in the dictionary (also absent are "could've" and "would've"). I use them anyway, as I've always used them in speech.


Barroom Photographs

He might've said too much
That man that does'nt speak
Confessing to a beer
The secrets that he keeps

And she, the quiet-eyed
Presents herself demure
A dear old-fashioned prop
A part of her allure

Perhaps they shared a sigh
Behind the picturesque
Enunciated grins
And unencumbered jest

She might have been distraught
Or walked amongst the rain
The liquid on her cheeks
Are maybe but a stain

He might have been renowned
Or roughly debonair
He might have made a toast,
That man that was not there

Specimen A

I didn't feel like writing last week, so I didn't.  I didn't feel like writing this week, but I managed to churn out a sub-par backwards and forwards piece.  I think I need to alternate styles more; I'm getting burned out on the two forms I've focused on this year.

Specimen A

Remarkable Specimen A
Sitting still
All after curiosity
Whether it feels
It's studied
Categorized
Probing instruments
Precisely measured
Science!
Measured precisely
Instruments probing
Categorized
Studied
It feels it
Weathered curiosity
After all,
Still sitting

A specimen remarkable
