| Mazed I can't remember dreams. I don't feel safe inside them, too afraid I'll never find my way back out — like these nightmares where I search for you beneath each desk, going from room to room — all doors locked and blocked. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.9] (27.march.2021) 8 lines 24/24 syllables |
| Not giving in The east breeze eases and the rustle of leaves hushes as he briskly paces down the slushy path, hands in pockets, cap askew, coat zippered tight, scarf wrapped twice, muffled against the morning ice and pain of swollen joints he tries to ignore keeping up with teenagers, pretending he's a youngster, repeating with each breath: use it or lose it... use it or you will lose... © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.7] (26.mars.2021) 8 lines lengthening: 5/8/11/14 // 8/11/14/17 For

| Fifty years later her wrinkles still laugh A kerfuffle would break out each time she drove up bedazzled from chasing moonbeams and neon lights on nights filled with scuffles o'er who'd sit beside her, recite flowery nonsense that she'd yawned at before. She always seemed to relish in their silliness that followed her and her new '66 Sunbeam, glinting racing green, making faces as she grinned at rumpled reflections in its smooth polished paint. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.6] (25.mars.2021) for

| Transition Each morning, shadows of ponderosa shrink as songbirds flit from trees to drink at moss lined pools wary of owls winging back to nests or an eagle about to soar — as between grey boulders fox kits frolic till mother calls them back to their den safely hidden in this pine-shadowed glen where soon after sunrise the night hunters rest and this day belongs to others. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.21] (24.mars.2021) 13 lines Written for
Prompt Words: pine, trees, moss, boulders, eagle, soaring, nest, and sunrise. |
| What cannot die survives in this corner of the universe where no one bothers to look i wait knowing you follow me no matter where i hide my lava quenched i huddle within this cave on the far side of a long-dead star it's lonely without you but my embers won't die out and i hear your searching for me across the void oh, zmitri, look for me deep within your heart where stars burst forth millennia before we argued © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.5zm] (24.mars.2021) For

| Homage to the letter Thorn or þorn (Þ, þ)) Þimbleberry Þieves Þick along sylvan paþs þorns brush bare þighs as þrongs of bumbles, bees þrive as þunder rumbles in the distance, þongs itching, Þelma bitching, þoughts of hitching home; but — þumbs sweeten as me and Þelma sigh, þieves among ripe þimbleberries. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.4] (23.mars.2021) Modern orthography: Thimbleberry Thieves thick along sylvan paths thorns brush bare thighs as throngs of bumbles, bees thrive as thunder rumbles in the distance, thongs itching, Thelma bitching, thoughts of hitching home; but — thumbs sweeten and Thelma sighs, thieves among ripe thimbleberries. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.4] (23.mars.2021) Homage to the letter Thorn or þorn (Þ, Thorn or þorn (Þ, þ)) For:

| Windpump The metallic dandelion clock stands derelict to it's duty next to the abandoned drive-in diner parking lot. So much waste on the plains of Kansas, once fertile prairies scarred by concrete slabs and plastic straws in a haste to mine all assets, to prime the pump of plenty, increase the flow of paper bucks — lest the future be dammed as all returns to the poverty of dust. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.3] (23.mars.2021) 12 lines free verse http://www.historyofwindmills.com/picture/picture-of-wind-water-pump/ |
| Longest night By her bed holding hands, beseeching any god who'd listen — halcyons calming each gasping wheeze. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.2] (21.mars.2021) 4 lines 24 syllables For
I was raised with the adjective but the noun is more interesting imho. halcyon (noun): a mythical bird said to breed at the time of the winter solstice in a nest floating on the sea and to have the power of calming the winds and waves 105.041 |
| Opera at midnight A fox chases a rabbit across an ebony field intent on supper until an owl wings its flight joining the chase while arrows fly from the Night-Hunter's quiver, he-who-strolls-amid-moonbeams, as his canine yaps in the language of stars, so soft ... like a whisper ... till a CLAP of thunder awakens the audience and skies weep with delight. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.11] (27.march.2021) 15 lines free verse For March '21
Prompt: SHAPES IN THE CLOUDS... but taboo words: white, fluffy, floating, rain, sun night-hunter = Orion canine = Canus Major and Sirius, the dog-star |
