    rumbling along

    rumbling along revision every Thursday, late afternoon the rumble of trash containers being rolled down to the road breaks nature's silence at my mutable mountain lair, drum roll of erased footprints ~~jvg rumbling along every Thursday, late afternoon the rumble of trash containers being rolled down to the road breaks nature's silence at my mountain retreat time to empty and fill again Verse Form.

  2. Today's prompt twinkle or corode Use one or both words within the poem. In Gratitude Both eyes don't twinkle anymore,It seems with age the glimmer fades,slowly coroding to dim sightbut, corrective lenses fixed thatuntil a clot blew in one eye.A grey cloud now obscures vision.A stroke of sorts, who ever knew?Gatefully the other still sparks. ~~Judi Van Gorder

    Morning Poems

    I seem to write in the mornings a lot. I also seem to seem to write about my morning a lot. Here was some thing I saw right outside my bedroom window this morning while sitting in bed setting up my journal/To Do / daily planner Morning Jay A Jay lands lightly on a bobbing redwood bough, rests a bit then bounds away into the morning sky. Its mohawk crown and royal hued wings project his persistence and fearlessness. My charge for the day. ~~jvg
  4. Sitting Under My Flowering PearThe gilded banter quickenswith each gust of wind.Speaking all at the same time,the restless leaves’ chatter risesand falls riding the wings of the zephyr,scents of sage, apple,and honeysuckle hitch on board.The glitter of the golden sun peeksthrough the lacy canopy to eavesdrop while I let the lyrics wash over me. ~~ Judi Van Gorder

    Goodbye to 2019

    Another YearAnother chance to make it right, with renewed hope, morning and night. Begin and end my day on my knees,fill hours in tune with other's pleas,and caring for self, walk in the light.Repeat what worked, discard the blight,embrace the good and try what might,enjoy my home among the trees,another chance. New Year's on us, almost in sight,winter sun sparkles on the whitecrystals of last night's frost to teaseaway gloom and transition with easefrom old to new, I sit and write.Another chance. Judi Van GorderNotes: ▼ Verse Form: Rondeau The Rondeau was narrowed to the poetic verse form we know today by the 17th century. The elements of the Rondeau are: 1. a 15 line poem made up of a quintain, followed by a quatrain and ending in a sixain. 2. syllabic, L9 & L15 are 4 syllables each and all other lines are 8 syllables each. In English it is usually metered, most often iambic tetrameter except the refrain which is iambic dimeter. 3. composed with rentrement, a refrain repeated from the opening phrase of the poem. 4. rhymed, using only 2 rhymes except for the refrain being unrhymed, rhyme scheme aabba, aabR, aabbaR (R being the refrain) 5. a vehicle for serious verse, unlike the Triolet or Rondel which originate from the same source but tend to be lighter verse.

    Warning

    Warning A high pitched, steady, beep - beep - beep and the guttural growl of a grinding engine greeted my morning garden stroll. My view of the road blocked by flowering potato vines, I couldn't see the monster as it inched down our country road. I don't know what or why it chose to invade the post-dawn peace but gratefully, the tocsin sounds soon faded and only the welcoming tweets of small birds graced my space once more. ~~ Judi Van Gorder Notes: ▼
