Hold air like water
float
traverse skyward
in a dream
unbroken

dVerse prompt on AI. This picture came out of an AI program at the Dali Museum in St Petersburg. My childhood dream of swimming in air was typed into the program and this picture was created by AI.
It was obvious
I was never there
accusations
were that I was
since I was not lost
found my way around
knew the depth
of a verse
______________
Italics are titles of podcasts in this prompt from dVerse
This is how the end comes.
It is wrapped in silver like a gift.
The gift is most welcome,
eager to see what is inside.
Inside was not what I wanted.
It was full of memory.
Each memory had a story.
They played inside my head.
The head was filled with irrelevance,
as I sought for the divine.
What could be more sought after
than a life of heartfelt love?
In love with the only One—
this is how the end comes.
____________
NaPoWriMo Day 27 prompt to write a duplex sonnet.
Imagine there is heaven
not only in the sky
what surrounds everything
and everyone
reflecting the divine
______________
NaPoWriMo prompt to pick a phrase and write against it. I took John Lennon’s “Imagine there’s no heaven”.
Searching for a muse today
amongst the clutter of everyday living
accumulation of unneeded things
projects begun and never ended
heaps of writings piled neatly
It was there I felt it take a hand
beckoning for me to rise again
in words already vanishing
_______________
dVerse prompt to write a quadrille and take a look for the muse
I bless those who enter the fray
a mother praying nightly for safe return
now fights against sex traffic of child
in a country with a written law
helping law keepers to better know it
protect those who cannot protect own self
want to end slavery in our lifetime
______________\\\\
dVerse prompt to write a Kwansaba (seven lines, seven words per line, no word over seven letters)
I wore it on my head
delirious from its weight
wanting to stay upright
posed and productive
ruling my thoughts
with more thoughts
demanding right words
to subjugate my subjects
learning to turn glistening crown
of diamonds and pearls
to a crown of thorns
_______________
dVerse quadrille prompt with the word crown
I
Woke this morning
cloudy with chance of rain
brown of death hanging
from trees
waiting to fall
II
Inside where it is warm
oven holds greater heat
melts the butter
sugar and flour and eggs
holds the cookie together
III
A child pets the dog
soft fur under her hand
rising and falling with breath
curious to greet
this nonhuman being
IV
Preparing for winter
I mend the armscye
thread moves through fabric
brings together these parts
making it whole again
V
There is much more to life
than what I know—
enter from the inside out
breathe deeper
rejoice
_________________
dVerse prompt on cadralor— five part poem each part can stand alone. Parts seemingly unrelated. Fifth part brings wholeness.
Start with a word
not just any word
Word moist with truth
revealing my truth
Truth hard to find
seek til you find
Find its purpose
aware of purpose
Purpose to write
so hope to write
Write now
______________
NaPoWriMo Day 30 prompt to give directions. I hope this will help me keep writing after today.
Wouldn’t do it
Couldn’t take
Knee or gun
To anyone
How to make
Policing
into
Peacing
