Teaser Tuesday post for 21 March 2017
from Revival by Stephen King

But writing is a wonderful and terrible thing. It opens deep wells of memory that were previously capped.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:• Grab your current read • Open to a random page • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Poem: Summer Lovin’

Poem created in response to Poetic Bloomings’ “An Entertaining Summer” Poem-A-Day event

Day 2, July 2nd

Summer Lovin’

teenage memories
summer loves

Not Necessarily Ekphrasis (NNE): Time Passed By

The poem

dreams of time passed by,
lives long gone;
times held fast by love

 

 

 

 

Ekphrasis, boiled down, is art describing another work of art.  For poetry, the example most sites provide is John Keats’ “Ode on a Grecian Urn.”  I call this category of posts ‘Not Necessarily Ekphrasis’, because all of the poems won’t necessarily describe the pic on which they will be placed.  I may find the picture a good match for the mood of the poem, or it may actually be an ekphrastic poem.

The Last Mile

We reflect

on times more merry,

of friendships

and hardships,

when someone whose life we’ve shared

has walked their last mile.

Poem: Summer Camp

Poem created in response to Robert Lee Brewer’s Wednesday Poetry Prompt 178, 6 June 2012.  Topic: camp

(form: a trio of lunes)

Summer Camp

Home away from home-
where many
kids learn about life.

Fun-filled days at camp-
where bunk mates
become life-long friends.

Summer memories-
falling in
love amongst the ticks.

Poem: Snapshots of Life

Poem created in response to Robert Lee Brewer’s 2011 April PAD Challenge: Day 22, 22 Apr 2011.

Snapshots of Life

Only one exists
at any one time,
quick glances,
snapshots of life
captured by our mind
in the blink of an eye.
We may recall the image,
but it’s only a memory.
The moment is gone.
It existed
only once
briefly…
