Day 22 and 23 of Poetry Month 2018


Pantoum of the Future


The day’s begun with promise and
with joy. All sunlight breaks through
windows of ice and glaciers
showing off the majestic Rockies.

With joy, all sunlight breaks through
misery and painful memories,
showing off the majestic Rockies.
Our days begins anew.

Misery and painful memories,
thought hidden from reality, breaks forth.
Our days begin anew
and work begins again to heal.

Thought hidden from reality, breaks forth
the power of precious few
and work begin again to heal.
This day will see the end of sorrow.

To Hold the Jar


The blacksmith forged a woman, desired by all
Given in marriage, gifted with a jar; contents unknown
released by curiosity, all evils are released
And we still pay the price for weaknesses 
of those cannot just leave our selves alone
