Twitter poetry 2021: Week 17

My blogger-poet-friend Ingrid inspired me to create a Twitter account and start writing #APoemADay, which I began on January 1, 2021.

As time goes by, I am increasingly feeling that writing poetry defines me. I honestly can’t imagine how I’ll feel by the end of this year if I continue to stick to this commitment. It will be pretty awesome to look by at all of my poems come December 31^st!

BTW, today marks the 1^st anniversary of my 1^st blog post here on the ‘Skeptic’s Kaddish’. Time flies when you’re having fun 🥳

Below is my 17^th week of Twitter poems:

Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem,
David

My 1st kimo poem (https://t.co/vH51ahuzOL)

Night envelopes; penetrates; becoming;
Absent moon leaves empty space;
Thoughts sparkle among stars

mother and father
always belonged together
their child remembers
moments of joy, tears, and heart
night takes life, but can't touch love

purple creeping thyme
sublime chartreuse green lime thyme
over time they climb

#Jerusalem sky
twilight gashes; mauve and peach
soon to disappear

Of #poems in my mind swirl a bevy,
As #caffeine surges over grey levee;
My heart pounds ever faster,
Craft rushes t'ward disaster;
My wayfinding won't help w/ head heavy

My 1st verso-rhyme:

My pen's not for intrigue
~but~ I'm fuming
at our Prime Minister's
great arrogance;
insane power complex
all-consuming;
ugly machinations;
and grievance dance!

  You are very welcome, David.

An excellent group, but the kimo is my favorite. One year! And counting, I hope. (K)

Kerfe,

Maybe it the kimo comes natural to me because I’m Israeli 😉 (kidding!)

❤
David

‘Thoughts sparkle among stars’ – oh I love that!
They’re all a joy to read.
