A description of this evening at sunset... an odd threefold Haiku...

 

Dusk sky, pink and green,
bright backlit contrails streaking
the Jasperware light;
above the ridge line,
high clouds steal in from the west,
predicting fine rain;
grey morning drizzle
which drips from oaks and maples,
waking the still brook. 

this paints a beautiful picture Parker

thank you for sharing it!

I particularly loved the 'Jasperware sky'. Wonderful, as always.

I love it.  I picture everything vividly.   There's a spring-like feel to the air, even though it's only January.  This captures that feeling for me.

January has so many faces; this was one of them. I was glad to be able to see it.

I must acknowledge and thank @AC Benus for the Jasperware Sky phrase. But last night was the perfect example of it.

Don't know why, but I got a vision of a grungy urban twillight in a post-rain reveal... An indifferent sensation. Love it.

It is indeed a Wedgewood shade...

Every time I post a new science poem, one can hope that the new one just has to be more intelligible than the last....but so far....

 

Oh, well. You decide.  Here it is.  https://www.gayauthors.org/story/parker-owens/disasters-delights-and-other-detours/17

Sometimes I come across these interesting articles, (to me at least) that I want to share hoping someone else will think it interesting too.  I love The Cranberries, so I was intrigued. 

Anyway..

interesting but old poets wrote in a time when women were not citizens.. not equal ... and no things now are not perfect ... but live now.. not back then.. write your poetry and worry about now.. stop worrying about what happened years ago

Lol. I edit to add the gist of what you said about historical views, but it didn’t sound right. But, exactly

Very interesting. I was not just mesmerized by her voice, but intellect and her stances. Someone not afraid. She wrote her first song at the age of 12.

Meant to quote @Defiance19. I’m having a spastic moment.

no worries, jp

i was invited to write another poem with @MacGreg.  Doing these is a challenge. A theme is chosen and then we each can see only the last line of each other's previous stanza. So far each poem has been good and @MacGreg put them together with no edits.  The latest of these is here: Sins of Our Fathers.  I hope you'll read it and let us know what you think.

Slice of life. This video seems to show what it's like to be a poet out in the world. I hope you like it

I've been typing up my old poetry again and feeling depressed. I had to skip ahead to when I was 21. This one I wrote soon after coming out. Hope you like it.

 

 

 

Something quieter in the brain

 

Speaks of something gentler in the heart,

 

Which shouts of something stronger in

 

The soul.

 

I know the answers not at all,

 

But now, I know what question to ask.

 

Something sweeter in the smile

 

Speaks of something kinder in the look

 

Which yells of something greater in

 

The soul.
