Sleep

This is my response to the Monday Mural prompt at Poefusion (the image above is this week’s prompt). I chose to write this in chained lunes. Enjoy.

——————————————————-
Soft sleeping Virgin,
did you fall to Earth
from your perch

on the moon
and sink into the ground
to take repose?

That moon perch
lays bowed in the sky
above sleeping eyes -

your sleeping eyes,
for us to gaze upon
in loving awe.

Dare we disturb
your quiet, entombed, lucid dreaming
to request intercession

for our frailty
as we forever unfailingly fall
and find sin?

Raven

This poem was written off of this week’s One Single Impression prompt, which is permanence (or transience). It was inspired by a post on the Ideas Exchange blog about a prancing crow that Robert by providence captured on film. I suggest you visit his blog, read the post, and look at the photo he caught of the crow – it is awesome.

-Nicole

you
prance for
me, gentle raven

this
moment, transient
by very nature

becomes
permanent by
my digital camera

your
obsidian feathers
forever firmly fixed

your
prancing pictured
in photographic pixels
