I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')

A Monday Kind of Mind

A new beginning,
a starting over,
a striding forth —

but leaving reluctantly
Sunday’s lazy mood,
already a memory.

Order and organisation,
responsibility and work!
Squaring her shoulders,

she approaches Monday.
She faces Monday,
adjusting her mind.

Adjusting her mind,
she faces Monday.
She approaches Monday,

squaring her shoulders
for responsible work,
order and organisation.

Already a memory,
Sunday’s lazy mood
is leaving reluctantly.

She strides forth
and starts over —
a new beginning.

Mutual Love Rhapsody

dream beside you
my soft song
listen
come the hope
charm with another evening
word over time
remember
belong when home here
heart has gentle regard
believe star wish
we want us
tell strong river
as faith bloom full

as faith bloom full
tell strong river
we want us
believe star wish
heart has gentle regard
belong when home here
remember
word over time
charm with another evening
come the hope
listen
my soft song
dream beside you



At dVerse Meeting the Bar, we are invited to write a palindrome or mirror poem. Perhaps I'm not very inventive just now! After the first abortive attempt, my mind went blank — until I resorted once again to the Magnetic Poetry site. Perhaps not a huge challenge, but all I can manage at present. I used the Love kit this time. The title came from the kit, too.
