I hate spring, more than any other "season". Twelve months ago I tried to say why, in verse:<br /><br />There must be something in the air<br />to make me see the world like this.<br />I tell you that it isn't fair -<br />There must be something in the air.<br />Her flashing eyes, her flowing hair,<br />Those subtle lips that tempt a kiss...<br />There must be something in the air<br />to make me see the world like this.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jaydee&ditemid=4642" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-12-03:462354:2682I shan't become a fan, but...2010-03-05T11:26:08Z2010-03-05T11:26:08Zguiltypublic5Oops. Over a month without posting a new poem. Was planning to do better than that. Obviously I'm writing the wrong kinds of poesy. This one was written instead of accepting a facebook request. It's a villanelle!<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">( </b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://jaydee.dreamwidth.org/2682.html#cutid1">Nineteen line cut!</a></b><b class="cut-close"> )</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jaydee&ditemid=2682" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-12-03:462354:1941Triolet lovin'.2010-01-07T00:34:37Z2010-01-07T00:34:37Zbemusedpublic0I've been loving the triolets lately. They are only little things, sure, but they're fun and I've written half a dozen so far in 2010. Here is probably the most lighthearted of them:<br /><br />Now that Cupid has a gun<br />he is out with plans to kill.<br />So much damage can be done<br />Now that Cupid has a gun.<br />The bow and arrow was just fun<br />it caused a momentary thrill.<br />Now that Cupid has a gun<br />he is out with plans to kill.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jaydee&ditemid=1941" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-12-03:462354:437First Post.2009-12-06T08:27:00Z2009-12-06T08:29:03Zflippantpublic1So... Dreamwidth, eh? I wanted to start with something light, but it didn't pan out. Maybe I'll finish it one day. But I wrote a silly little triolet instead, 'cause they are easy enough:<br /><br />Sometimes the verses flow with ease<br />Am I at the whims of a Muse?<br />I can't just write whene'er I please<br />Am I at the whims of a Muse?<br />At times I wish I could just seize<br />her, make her dance the jig I choose.<br />Sometimes the verses flow with ease<br />Am I at the whims of a Muse?<br /><br />So that is a first post out of the way.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jaydee&ditemid=437" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
