Apr 23
Greetings!
It’s Day 23 already!! Is it just me that feels this is all zipping past too quickly for another year?!
“Today I’d like to challenge you to write a poem in the style of Kay Ryan, whose poems tend to be short and snappy – with a lot of rhyme and soundplay. They also have a deceptive simplicity about them, like proverbs or aphorisms.” [from: Day Twenty-Three (napowrimo.net)]
I read the poems that are linked further on in the prompt, and particularly liked this, and this one, too.
I am me and she is she, but I liked what I came up with…anywee…
The glassward side
Of aging curtains –
Sometimes concertinaed,
Sometimes elongated – 
When gazing on blossom
May be fair elated
But so too must they
See the black cat cry
abated
by
A cold glass of water;
Or worse:
A car-tastrophe.
They cannot shut themselves off,
These staring sheathes
But keep up their
Janus existence
Constantly contemplating
All our turning leaves,
And opening on our dramas.
Can you guess that I am writing in front of a window again? Meet you back here for Day 24! Take care, lovely readers 😊
