Weekend Coffee Share 5/21/16

If we were having coffee, I’d remind you – or maybe I wouldn’t have to – that last week I promised to give you a chance to talk this time around. I won’t give another long-winded exposition of my epiphanies on life.

Well, okay, just a few words: still painting the house (I’m slooooooow); took up whittling (I’ll tell you about that next week… maybe); started a yard project where I have no clue whatsoever as to how I’m going to accomplish what I’m envisioning (more info coming later… maybe even photos).

But enough about me… let’s get comfortable, sit back with our warm coffee mugs, and you can tell me all about your week.

Oh, and here’s a bit of background music for our visit. I find listening to the music without watching the video more relaxing, but it’s up to you.


Thank you to Diana at PartTimeMonster.com for hosting the #WeekendCoffeeShare.

Harmony on the Fence

harmony

 

fortissimo pink glissando
cascading down latticework staff
diminuendo
dolcissimo

petals flitter like grace notes
adorning summer’s breeze
delicato
pianissimo

green tenor leaves support
contralto blossoms
sustenuto
spianato

vines tie blooms across
vinyl bars and wire measures
en tranquillo
largo
tempo


The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: Harmony

It’s a Sonnet, Doggone it!

NOTE: January 3, 2019 ~ It’s been over three years since I wrote this sonnet, and it’s still the only one I’ve managed. The dVerse prompt today is the sonnet. The form still confounds me, but I will stretch my comfort zone and practice writing another one. Maybe two. In the meantime, I am sharing this poem, and am most welcoming of feedback. Thank you.

The final assignment in the WordPress Writing 201 course is to write a sonnet. Not my style at all, although I have to admit I’ve never tried to write one before.

At any rate, I hiked up my Shakespeare shorts and dove in, and as you can see below, my muse Chules chipped in by demonstrating his poetry quothe-ing and theatrical emoting skills.

But, bark! What lights softly through yawnder broken window?

Herewith, I giveth thee my sonnet:
