Season of Sadness: Gary Kyrielle Sonnet

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERASeason of Sadness

sadness:
laments,
season’s
pass-time!

winter
browns out
people
daily.

depress,
our souls
these dark
long hours!

leaving
only
blacked-out
windows.

season’s
pass-time.

(Thanks dearest Caddo for reminding me of this form this morning!)

Pleiades Poem: Walking

Pleiades Poem

Walking

When poems I can’t write,
Word’s fire soon reignite…
Weary, I find respite,
Weaving dream paths by night,
Wandering too, by daylight,
Welcomes thoughts in free flight…
Walking brings me delight!

Thanks to Caddo Spumoni‘s introduction to this form, I wrote the original poem for Poet’s Corner.

Double Gary Kyrielle

Silver linings

I

Silver
linings
in time
will show

What seemed
a loss
to be
your gain

Thought you
sadness
to be
failure

Think then
upon
the love
received

And say
thank-you…

II

Trouble
has brought
so much
to me

And war
has taught
me love
for peace

Rootless
was I
without
country

Opened
me for
present
bounties

Silver
linings

I wish to dedicate this poem to Caddo Spumoni, and his enthusiastic inspirational use of the Gary Kyrielle.
