Roller Coaster

This was written off of a prompt from Simply Snickers, a site with prompts for poets. The catch? You must rhyme in some way. (I thought I had to rhyme, but I guess you don’t. Oh well. Still, I like this poem.)

I chose the Chaucerian roundel, again (easy use of forms is why I intend to master more of them) to do this thing. The prompt was to write a poem using the words “roller” and “coaster” in it. So I took the metaphoric meaning of a roller coaster instead of the literal. Enjoy.

“get lost” by ~Standing-Apart

I participated in the latest challenge on Poets Who Blog, which was to create a poem using a list of ten words (these ten words are highlighted in the poem below. The result was this poem, “Wounds”. Enjoy.

As I try to collect in into my heart and
Desperately to try avoid a role reversal -
I don’t want to turn into a monster
Like you. Continue reading →

———————————————————————————————–
Untold,
In my soul -
A thousand Hallelujahs.
I walk the catacombs
Where darkness roams
To find my way to the light,
Though I live at the edge of night,
Bearing torches in my heart
For the lonely
The forgotten
Begotten
Of God and Man. Continue reading →

A Plea

Close the door -
It’s too crowded out there.
Let’s cavort behind our dark door.
Let no one see how we love.
I can dance easier without
Prying eyes;
I can love easier
Without disapproving spies.
So heed my words
And let’s be wise -
Close the door, baby.
Close the door.
