So Gray


So Gray

The days have been so gray.
I think we've lost the sun.
Has it gone away to stay?
The days have been so gray.
I have no energy to weigh
the consequences for everyone.
The days have been so gray.
I think we've lost the sun.

This poem was written for the Poetic Asides Poem-A-Day Challenge. The form is the triolet.

Field of Flowers


Field of Flowers

The field of flowers
catches my eye.
It showcases all its powers.
The field of flowers
delights for hours.
As blooms wave and insects fly,
the field of flowers
catches my eye.

Enjoy the first days of spring. This poem is a triolet.

Sun Struck

This poem is a formal structure known as a triolet. It has a specific rhyme scheme and some of the lines are repeated. It is a bargain for the poet, because you only have to write five lines and you have an eight-line poem. This one was written in memory of my sister and is included in my chapbook of grief poems-"I Keep You with Me" (See February 19 post).

Sun Struck

The brightness of the sun
hurts my eyes and my heart.
I am completely undone
by the brightness of the sun.
It highlights the loss of one
who has been there from the start.
The brightness of the sun
hurts my eyes and my heart.
