So true, so topical
A gogyohka for the dverse clown prompt.
we resent masks
take to the streets in protest
I wonder if it is because we already wear them
we keep our sorrows hidden
all pagliacci behind the smiles

It’s the third week of the month! Time for a #PhotoPrompt
Aishwarya, aka, Kitty from Kitty’s Verses, was Colleen’s selection from last month’s challenge. So Kitty has provided the photo for this month’s challenge. Colleen says “Remember, don’t just describe what is in the photo. Engage your senses and work with implied metaphors to make your poetry sing!”
This week I have written a two versed Shadorma about life choices. The railway track disapearing into the distance makes me think of the straight and narrow.
Look forward
Leave what’s behind you
The line leads
Direction
As sure as night follows day
One step at a time.
Like a train
Forward momentum
Rolling on
Growing strong
Straight ahead into the light
One step at a time .
Salty like hot dogs (and tears). Sweet like marmalade (and life).
Rants, humor, sarcasm, and a haiku-like substance? It's hard to know what's going to come out of our minds next.
