A Moment Painted by Silence

(A)

Serendipitous

Isolation, where

Lavender teardrops paint

Enigmas across a sprawling

Newness, shawling

Caress unto all which

Stop on over to the New World Creative Union for the Wednesday Wake Up Call, a thoroughly enjoyable outlet for creative expression, where all the realms of artistry live in the manners they've always been intended for.  This week Susie Clevenger has us thinking about Silence.

Face fleshed press to glass

In a prism of this stifling

Cartography—

Uncharted waves of tempered light

         Spatially charged with a dimension

Infused into all

                           Memories remain, yet soon shall fade

Clinging tight you dare not cede

         The last shreds of

Life and dignity

                  And I wonder why

                  Why’d you evade the reaping?

                  How is it his sickle found not thee?

                  Are you afraid, of how things will be,

                  When fragments are all that remain,

Incessantly tormenting with their sparse refrains?

                 

                  I don’t know whether to smile or cry

I can’t decide if should pray for the reaper’s return

For I can’t see a fate forever resembling vengeance—

And here I must cry, for hell never had you in its plans…

For the New World Creative Union and their weekly Wednesday Wake Up Call.  Head on over, check out the prompt, read/view/experience the creativity on display, then get inspired, pretty impossible not to, link up and share your inspiration with everyone at the NWCU.

On Our Walk

Stop on over to the New World Creative Union for their Wednesday Wake Up Call.  It's great creative fun that you'll look forward to each week.  This week we're prompted to return to our comfort zones.  They're also discussing fairy tales, nursery rhymes and the lot.  All in celebration of Pat's newest Book.

I wrote this a while back, but I think it fits in with this week's Wake-Up theme.  Well, anyhow...


Please listen to the recording, to get the full flavor of the piece.

listen to ‘On our Walk’ on Audioboo

I went for a walk with my nieces two…

Down the street and by the school…

The three of us watching all there was to see

‘twas when appeared the first so free

little birdie spoke to we

tweet, tweet, tweet

and so our little walk grew to four

the girls said they hoped for more

until we glanced a monkey in a tree

tossing banana peels with glee

…..ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

The bird returned and spoke its mind

Tweet, tweet, tweet

And now our little walk had climbed to five

The girls loved how the group thrived

And on we went a little more

‘twas when we met a little cat

who thought he was so mighty fat

Meow he called to us

To which the monkey and the bird replied

And now our little walk grew to six

The girls loved the mix

Until there came a cow so tame,

It chimed its bell and spoke it’s name

Moo, moo, moo

And the bird replied in kind

The monkey chose to speak its mind

The cat went meow

And so our little walk turned to seven

The girls thought this was animal heaven

Until we saw duck

Quack, quack, quack

The cow said hello

The monkey then did bellow

While the bird went tweet

And the cat meowed with intent

As our little walk became eight

The girls thought this was so great

Until we saw a frog,

ribbit

Playing games on his log

They said hello, but the monkey yawned

The cat meowed and the bird went tweet

The cow was quiet, but soon he did greet

While the duck simply quacked by its feet

what began as three was now nine

The girls thought this walk was mighty fine

Until we came to a little dog

Chained up still barking a song

And the Cat went Meow

The Bird did tweet

The monkey spoke

And the frog took a poke

Then the cow went moo

While the duck always kept his cool

As our little walk became ten

the girls have always loved our walks since then 

For those of you that enjoy children's stories, I highly recommend you stopping by Pat Hatt's Site, where he has links, or simply going to Amazon and searching for his name.  You'll find a series of kiddie books, which are all very good, enjoyable for kids and adults alike.

Preamble to Extinction

Flash flood apocalypse

Obliterating ground

Celestial distances the

Ultimate

Smudging of stars

A storm emblazes the rough terrain

Shadows distancing across the oceanic plane

Transform, we do, into an

Extended

Reflection, of species

Interred—

Stripping of all that’s precious,

Killing off—

Saving traits

This..

As we move

Progressively farther

Out, away from

Unit with God…

Terminable, the lot we are…

Well, a day late and a dollar short, but took me a couple look throughs to fully digest the magnitude and power contained within the trailer for Zeitgeist over at the New World Creative Union.  This week Natasha's asked us to watch the trailer, then reflect upon it, as we are able.  Head on over to the Wednesday Wake Up, take a look at what reactions the other's felt and share yours as well.
