Today I wrote this décima while sitting in my church. This was the first time I’ve gotten to do that since March, so that was amazing! This is linked with Ronovan’s décima challenge, with “blind” in the C rhyme line.
Gratitude
From Behind the Trees
I wrote this last night, after Thanksgiving dinner, once my family had gone home, and the rest of us retreated to our own activities. I’m not 100% happy with the ending, but I am sharing it now for FOWC: Fidelity, since the moon has such fidelity as a poetic muse, for me and countless others. I write about the moon so often that there is a category on my blog for “poems about the moon.”
Best Discovery
This is for MLMM’s Saturday Mix. Our challenge today (or yesterday) is to use these pairs of opposites: save / spend and shallow / deep.
This I Seek
For Writing Wednesday and FOWC: Hail. This was inspired by the early morning this morning and when I was reading Psalm 27. Continue reading
Trite Expressions and True Companionship
I wrote this acrostic for FOWC: Trite, and the other poem is a bonus, not prompted but it made me smile writing it, and I hope it makes you smile also. 😀 Continue reading
Infected With Infernal Blight
For this and that from MLMM, and for DVerse’s quadrille Monday (not late! just depressing!).

Maybe I will try again later. Anyway, without further ado…. Continue reading
Décima
Today I have a décima for Ronovan’s prompt, and I was partially inspired by FOWC: Adept. This might still be rather dark, but at least it is more optimistic than what I posted yesterday! Some of the imagery was inspired by last Sunday’s Gospel reading at Mass. 🙂 Continue reading
Kinship
I didn’t post anything yesterday, so hopefully today’s offering is decent. This is in response to paint-chip poetry week 45, and I am also sharing it with DVerse OLN.
Coziness
This was written for this prompt about simple joys, and I am sharing it with the Writers’ Pantry. Happy Sunday!
Other Places’ Seasons Are Much Colder
For Ronovan’s décima challenge this week, the word is EXHALE. I combined it with the words in the haiku challenge as well.
