42 Day Thirteen

Jane Dougherty has come up with a theme for May . It is 42, now Jane describes it thus: “42 after Douglas Adams’ answer to the question of life, the universe and everything. The form is like the Cherita in its structure with a bit of added interest. The first line/stanza asks a question or makes a statement that begs a question, the second stanza/two lines sets the scene or the background, the last stanza/three lines answers the question or resolves it in some way.

Why don’t monkeys care

Ignoring the truth is not fair

Are you afraid tempers will flare

You go on, cover your ears

Cover your eyes to your fear

Shut your mouth so no one hears

Black night, bright starlit sky

Dark demons round you fly.

Pointless, the tears you cry, on life’s rack.
