Summer Apple

A nonet for the prompt “Summer” for GOetry Monday

@goodomensafterdark

(9) Shall I compare you to the summer?

(8) You are more ardent, fierce and hot!

(7) I melt in you like ice cream,

(6) let your heat seep through me,

(5) boneless beneath you.

(4) Tempt me, Summer,

(3) apple red,

(2) neath sky-

(1) blue!

“He couldn't see why people made such a fuss about people eating their silly old fruit anyway, but life would be a lot less fun if they didn't. And there never was an apple, in Adam's opinion, that wasn't worth the trouble you got into for eating it. “

~ book!GoodOmens

Aziraphale (who’s sky-blue-eyed POV this poem is in) may carefully, lovingly mock the first two lines of the world’s most famous sonett (18) by Shakespeare:

„Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? 
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.“

It's another Five Words Good Omens-themed poetry challenge from @whickberstreetwriters!

Using the words astray, dust, laugh, sigh and smoke, I've done another nonet from Crowley's POV 💜

Caution, Still

In the dawning, the noon sun, the twilight sighs

In the daybreak, the dreaming, the stardust night

your laugh races, embraces, swooping around me,

like a white plume of smoke

I choke; hold my tongue -

astray I should stay.

Yet I'm forever

drawn to

you.

[salovie]

If I only had one “I love you”

and my whole long life to give it,

I’d give it to you today.

A hasty, precious choice,

but you should know that

my perfect joy

is soft, blue,

close to

you.

[alaraowowrites]

Exotic

It does not matter where you are from There are places you haven't been People to you are strangers But you're strangers to them No matter where you Go you'll always Be diff'rent To some One

Skill - Nonet

As I sit, writing, composing here I slowly begin to ponder: What if the reason I use comedic tendencies in my poetry is that I fear my lack of writing skill?

Mine to Solve

A labyrinth of passing minutes

eating away my precious time

among fitful intervals

no one seems to control,

least of all myself,

a strange surprise

unforeseen

startling

me.

Human Heart

A question I should have never seen,

Another fragile human heart.

Progression through photographs;

Hurt when I see it stop.

Pink stains the metal.

Take me with you.

Human heart;

No beat.

Gone.

August 06: Happy Birthday Nonet (Pop'n Music)!!!!

[thefirstanomally]

If you could call up anyone now,

And speak to them throughout the night,

About anything and how,

About what's wrong and right,

Who do you think of?

The voice wished for?

A lost love?

A friend?

Me?

It's Five Words Friday in the @whickberstreetwriters poetry challenge! We selected five words and I, of course, took the opportunity to write something (very slightly) smutty-adjacent 😏

I chose to write a nonet poem incorporating: dew, ink, hunger, feral and wanton

Marginalia

Etching memories with ink, pages testify to our tale

of clandestine sojourns. But unwritten is the hunger

of which I can leave no trace:

craving the touch of dew-brushed skin;

how I ached to enscribe

desperate, wanton need deep

upon wanting lips;

my feral

adoration

[salovie]

She heard us all root for warmth and light,

for the sun to win out and end

winter’s deadness. Jealously,

slipping straight to spotlight,

Moon had her moment,

sweet as can be:

“You can cheer

for me

too.”

[coblblender]

I never said you’re my everything I never said you were pretty I never said I loved you I never said the words I never said it I should have though ‘cause it was Always True

7 years and I still think about my first female crush, it’s kind of embarrassing

Wish I’d taken the leap instead of internal homophobia.

[terrible-poetry]

I'm Sorry - Nonet

I missed a day to post poetry

It is quite sad, it seems to me

I just went about my day

I truly went astray

And went out-of-touch

Lost so, so much

To the fall

Missing

All

Nonets and Octameter

Rhythm and Rhyme by Maria L. Berg 2024 Today, I’m excited to share that I have two poems published at Heron Tree. They are found-poetry nonets. Here’s the link https://herontree.com/berg4-5/ . They’re short and include a quick paragraph about my process. For today’s MTB prompt at dVerse Poets Pub, Laura challenges us to write an Octameter – designed by Shelley A. Cephas in 2007. The Octameter…
