Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted in the Grove:

Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so.
~David Grayson

If you love someone, you say it, you say it right then, out loud, or the moment just passes you by.
From: My Best Friend’s Wedding

When it’s gone, you’ll know what a gift love was. You’ll suffer like this. So go back and fight to keep it.
~Ian McEwan

EndQuote:
For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are those ‘It might have been.’
~John Greenleaf Whittier

Prewritten: Theme is:  devotion, in iambic pentameter

~Greymane: Solid Things

She captured her confusions whispered breath
and painted safer places she could hide
but Heaven lies across the bridge of death
much further than she dares herself decide

A journey cast against a failing breeze
Her trapeze alone devotion now and then
Enacting passage somewhere on her knees
The faces forming solid things again

~

~Matt: Playing With a Meter

I know there is a limerick magic spell
That shows our ghost in which dry husk to dwell

But nary let your angst show sweat portrayed
Else you will watch all sunsets, sit, and pray…

And though you crave the basking, warming glow
You’ll ne’er soak from a noonday sun below.

~

~BarTalk: Sacrifice

Storms of romance quell the quest for passion
For the willful lad and willing lass on
The Bridge. Cross it, cross it off as fashion
Sunder or surrender, love, not latch on

Give love everything or give it a miss
Embrace the kiss or give it the kiss-off
There be forces want to bless this union
The stars themselves approve, last devotions

~~

Impromptu:

~Greymane: untitled

Ship against the sea
Horizon fills her quiet sails
Waves fade into sky

Linen sails four-post bed
Nightly journey tucked in bed
Storms a-thunder cloudy Grey
Another midnight milky way
Dreams that ride the windy night
Shooting stars by candle light
Slumber pirates stealing dreams
The captain’s braver than she seems

~

~Matttt: Shitty-ku

The weak deckhand pulled
And discovered his hands torn
Bleeding on the sail.

~

~BarTalk: 5-7-5 x 2

two meter sailors
sailing twenty meter yachts
two million in sales

skiff skimming waters
sing red sails in the sunset
I’m trusting in you
