This moment

tight

hold me

like there is

no     tomorrow

breathe the moment sigh

  kiss  each   freckle   blushing   
slow dance under moonlit night

sing,  laugh even  for  no  reason

stir this  moment not,  it's all we have

     hold  each  drop of  us,  here  lingering       

capture whispered  breath i sigh as

you kiss  each blushing  freckle

   bliss comes like butterfly    

fleeing languid wings 

hold  me  tight  as

we slow dance  

moonlit   

night  

“Smile, breath and go slowly.” - Thich Naht Hanh, Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk

Author's note:  This post follows the nonet form (9 lines; 9 syllables on the first line, 8 syllables on the second line.. until the last line is 1 syllable).    The first part is the reverse nonet form.  

This post is for the D'Verse Poets Pub, OpenLinkNight, hosted by Joe Hesch.   Doors open 3pm (every Tuesday) EST.   Bring your poem (any form) and share warm company.  

Nonet: Pink shoes

wrapped in tissues, the gleaming pink shoes

peer sleepily from the old box

dreaming of hot tango nights

waiting, ever youthful

seductive, lifting

hips, tempting me

go back, dance  

one more

time

Author's Note:   This post is for d'Verse Poets:   Poetics - on your feet.  I have used a poetry form - nonet (9 lines) for this prompt about shoes.  I am really happy with experimenting with different forms, and I hope you guys try out other (shoes) poetry forms.   It is challenging but fun~

Happy dancing day ~

Dancing

you took my hands, together we leaped

gliding to the dance floor, we dipped

swaying closer, we ignored    

hiphop, rock, fast beat grooves  

we waltzed round and round

timeless rhythm

my hands waved and curled under

one leg lunged as our tongues embraced

we didn’t hear the music anymore

but we kept

dancing til   

rapture

 love   

Author's Note:   I used the nonet for the form (9 lines; first line with 9 syllables; second line with 8 syllables.. until the last line is one syllable), but added 4 lines in the middle so that the total words fit the 55 word challenge of FF.


Isn't it so hot today?  Hope you guys are keeping cool ~

Nonet: Doors

       end  
       doors locked                                                          
       closing  day                                                              
       graduation                                                                 
       wedding, parting ways                                                 
       tears, memories, regrets                                                         
       none but gratitude, hearts full                                                       
       we looked at the pictures fondly                                                          
       and placed the album back on the shelf                                                                  


       turning around, we open the mail 
       invites and possibilities     
       YES, the magic answer to        
       new doors; we ring the bell     
       raising up glasses  
       with friends, we toast      
       as a new   
       journey        
       start     

Author's Note:   Life is a series of doors, closing and opening.  And this applies to relationships as well.   If you are not happy with your relationship, just walk out of the door.  If you don't want complications, don't open the door when someone knocks (specially in the wee hours of the morning).   If you are happy, keep the door locked, and throw away the key.    


As one door closes, another door opens.  Shared with One Shot Wednesday final post, I wrote my first nonet in tribute to OSW, Form Monday.  Hosted by Gay Cannon, Corbie Sinclair shared this form:  In writing it involves a poem with a total of nine lines. The first line must have nine syllables, second line eight syllables, third line seven syllables and so on until you end with one syllable. It has a ABCDEFGHI or alpha numerical form, so each line is a different ending word. The corresponding syllables are 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1. (The first part goes in reverse;   the second part follows the rules, hopefully.)   

Today is the formal launch of the new poetry community, d'Verse Poets.  Join us for the party (OpenLinkNight every Tuesday) 3 pm EST).   Say YES, link your poem and meet new (and old) friends. Cheers ~
