Okay, I have missed yesterday’s poem because I was in a MOOD, but today I am prepped and ready to churn out two poems! The first style is called the Rondel and it’s pretty easy with three stanzas, some refrains, and rhyming.
Bare-Faced
You blush and the whole face burns red
Eyes are glossy and lonely and wide
Lovely peppered, dark marks you hide
Hair messy as a birds nest piled atop your head
Thin pale lips bouncing along a thread
Silver strikes the hairs on your arms side
You blush and the whole face burns red
Eyes are glossy and lonely and wide
Little black marks tic under your eyelashes like lead
You wore mascara that day and forgot when you cried
Unknowingly, your vulnerability is set on display with your pride
They see you for everything you said
You blush and the whole face turns red.
Now onto the Rondine! It’s basically the little sister to the Rondeau which I did two days ago!
You’re In Charge
A box on a bed with spikes hanging down
A cage with no bird and a dollar bill
Books written blank with nothing to fill
A shi Tzu trots on with a clumsy frown
The sun dresses up in her favorite gown
Cameras click-clack-click and then sit so still
A box on a bed
Bubbles still popping, making no plop sound
An old pair of sneakers rock on a hill
Coffee grounds pack themselves into a pill
Sanity sulks waiting to now be found
A box on a bed
