(ad)ventures in poetry
What is it with the word today?
It’s come and hasn’t gone away.
I’d like to entertain a thought
And have some sandwiches for tea,
But it’s simply out of the question
When I have other company.
It’s not that I don’t have the space.
It’s a matter of being able
To speak with conviction without
Another word at the table.
Yesterday today stayed here
And will tomorrow, too, I fear.
Poem title from chapter 53 of poemcrazy by Susan G. Wooldridge.
Peace to your ♥!
NaPoWriMo21 – Day 25. I’m going my own way today and posting four short poems written this month that all define or describe words. Peace to your ♥!
sknit (n.)
a state of irritation caused by a dropped stitch;
not to be confused with sknot,
which sounds like mucus but is a kind of knot
from The Dictionary of Homophones
The difference is quite easy to define:
Q is a letter; queue, five letters in a line.
Bondage
Where you go, I go.
When you come near,
I feel the leash grow taut.
Release
It feels
like a breath
held held held—
let go!
