she tumbled her way
through the three-ringed circus
everyone else called life.
coping
daze
somedays
I want to skip
through burnt orange
crimson red
fresh fallen leaves
not trudge
with aching limbs
somedays
I want to dance
through cumulous clouds
float in dandelion puffs
not grounded
by flattened soles
empty souled
somedays
never always
absolutes press
somedays
never always
I simply
pass through
Thursday is OLN at dVerse, the virtual pub for poets. That means – no prompt. daze was originally written for June 7th’s dVerse MTB prompt, provided by Bjorn. He asked us to write a poem using “negativa”. A poem whose meaning is derived from what is not, as well as what is. I missed that deadline….so posting daze now. Photo from pixabay.com.
