dVerse Poets Pub : A French Twist For Quatorze Juillet

hosted by K, aka ManicDDaily, also a/k/a Karin Gustafson ;-)

*

from and of the french is all around us!

today’s prompt celebrates exploring what french is for us in our own lives on today, Bastille Day

as ms K puts it,

“the three watchwords of the French revolutionaries celebrated today–Liberté, Fraternité and Egalité (Freedom, Brotherhood/Sisterhood, and Equality).  These are also, to some degree, watchwords here at dVerse….”

this is a fun prompt, with lots of examples of things french, especially poetry, including the sound of french in poetry -

and having visited paris once, just over a decade ago, it nice to feel the memories still move…

i hope you enjoy this small poem, oui? ;-)

Walking in Paris

the

lady, a native

parisian (was obvious)

smiled, amused, i was pointing

taking photos of planters in windows

so much everyday for her

yet

so many flowers

and

eagerness for color

and light

for us

at

night

lights on the streets

in the shops and along the

branches of trees lining the walks

mirrored

the planters, flowers for

day

shinings at night

the

same city

warm

in scents of caresses

heartbeats, touched with new love

dVersePoets Prompt – Re-Joycing in Poetics (and Exile) -

hosted by ManicDaily (a/k/a Karin Gustafson)

*

karin, in her prompt at dVersePoets, regarding forms and styles and expressions of “exile” says :

“Exile, like love, transgression, death, is an archetypal storyline.”

then continues with examples religious and literary, from ovid to joyce and even within the hobbit series

the excerpts from ovid and joyce were particularly nice i thought

by go by and check it out, there’s more in her thoughts on the subject

my own take, based on my recent engrossment in my wife’s knee replacement, is both easier, and harder, to use as my prompt response, than conjuring up distant memories i thought i’d exiled and am maybe not ready to contemplate their return yet ;-)

which is a round-about-way of saying i’m too deep in what i’m in to do more than my current subject, helping my wife to her new bionic self ;-)

happy father’s day!

and if you’re in exile, remember, the prodigal son (or daughter) always got the most press, uh, attention ;-)

**

Racing in Exile on Father’s Day

today

we won’t be out searching for a

restaurant  good enough

to dine in yet

inexplicably not busy

today

this father’s day

i told my wife

her

scar tissue racing her

ability to bend and move

her new knee

to

new usefulness

she was my father’s day card

signed sealed with kisses and promises -

her thirty year knee, she, and me

i said, will dine just fine on my texas-vermont tacos

dVerse Poets Poetics Prompt : New View For You

hosted by brian miller, featuring photo prompts from Tracey Grumbach

brian, one of the originators of the dVersepoets site online, had a short intro to this particular prompt, which, considering how long i’ve been battling this congestion/cold/sinus/allergy/yuk feeling, is good timing ;-)

“Tracey hails from Maryland, a former home to me and has received a bit of acclaim for her works as well. Just jump over to her siteto see some more goodness.”

i’m always tempted to use all the images in these prompts, as they’re (for me) the most fun, but i did make a half sensible promise to be more considerate of my time and energy while i’m recovering, so i’ve picked this one image from tracey’s fine work

a glance at her website indicates much more in terms of interesting imagery

What I Missed What I Found While I Was Sick

bicycle image for dversepoets

Image by Tracey Grumbach

i wondered

as i wandered among my

fevered thoughts and chilled beliefs

if

any of this

would matter anyways

a

natural question i assume

then

when i saw the clean

neatly styled carefully parked

red and white new bike

- parked -

without a rider

yet obviously placed there

by someone…

i knew

and

thought about

the

poems and stories

paintings photos and

knick knacks i’d pieced together

over the decades of my lifetime

and knew

someone

would know i’d been here too
