My newest adventure is underway. It has lead me to take up residency in a new blog,
Like the Feathers of an Arrow (affectionately known as LFA).

8 Last Call: Quinzane: Truth

Quinzaine:  Truth

#1
There are three sides to the truth.
How do you unearth
the truth's truth?

#2
Honesty cannot be beat.
What about white lies?
Do you lie?



An Aside:  no recording this week....  I know...I know...you're all devistated.

A Form Aside:  It has been a while since I created a quinzaine.  I find because of their brevity that it is more fun to create them in (at least) pairs.  I also like to construct one with a single question posed in the last two lines and one where each of the last two lines are their own individual questions.  The second can be a bit tricky, because really it isn't that easy coming up with a three syllable question that relates to the original statement. 



This is my offerings for this week's dVerse Poets Pub OpenLinkNight. If you get a chance, check out all of the talented poets who have stepped up into the spotlight.

0 Quinzaine: Heat

#1
Sparks fly when I hear your voice.
Is it hate that flares
or passion?

#2
Your touch burns across my skin.
Can I survive it?
Can my heart?

5 Quinzaine: Role Models

#1
The future depends on us.
Will we be worthy
role models?

#2
They're eyes see all that we do.
Can we be better?
Should we care?

#3
They idolize who you are.
Should you be careful
how you act?

#4
They look up to you with awe.
Do you deserve it?
Are you true?



these four quinzaines were written in response to Jingle Poetry's Poetry Potluck [Idols, Role Models, and Mentors].  was a tad trickier fitting this theme with this form, but technically i find anything with syllable restrictions to be a bit of a challenge.

0 Quinzaine: Caring

#1
Caring is overrated.
Why should I bother?
Do you care?

#2
I no longer wish to care.
Will it hurt less if
I don't care?



i suppose the theme for today's quinzaines are a tad depressing. i really need to start working on raising my happy meter.

0 Quinzaine: Future

#1
The future is in your hands.
Will you rise up to
the challange?

#2
I fear what the future holds.
Is it all I wish?
Should I hope?



in the search for inspiration, i came across this new form of poetry:  quinzaine.
