He flashed
A wink
That ellipti-
Call
Promise of a kiss
or More
Shaft of passion
Refracts
Tracks straight to my
Heart
Strong and sure
Don't ever want
a Cure
This was written for the prompt at
Poetry Jam, poetryjaam.blogspot.com to write about a prism, and for
Kim's prompt to write about a cure at Poets United
poetryroll.blogspot.com, had a great idea to write about curing
hatred, but then my husband winked at me, and here we are. Never
been able to resist his winks. ;-) Also shared with dversepoets.com
Open Link Night, where winking is encouraged.
ah well you def dont want a cure for that now do you...smiles...that ellipti call promise....really cool through that area...and really like how you used the prism in this...
ReplyDeleteHi Brian!! Yep, sometimes you don't want a cure :-) Glad you enjoyed my playing with the prism

ReplyDeleteWell, there's no doubting your meaning here :-)
ReplyDeleteHi there!! Yep, no doubt at all :-)
DeleteSara this is such a wonderful poem! Love how you broke the word ellipti-call. Could just feel the love for your husband in your words!
ReplyDeleteHi Robyn!! Thank you so much, I'm glad that love came through--it's always in those little moments, isn't it? :-)
DeleteThose winks can be a cure of their own :) Nicely done Sara.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer!! Love how you turned that phrase--absolutely true :-) Thank you!
DeleteA sweet moment... No cure for those winks :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ayala!! Love those sweet moments--thank you for the visit :-)
DeleteAww... how sweet & flirtatious.
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie!! That's pretty much a wink definition--though sometimes they're saucy too ;-)
Delete"Shaft of passion refracts" -- I love it! I agree with you...you surely would NOT want a cure. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary!! Thank you for noticing that line, it was my favorite :-)
DeleteLOVE this! Your explanation warmed my heart. We should all enjoy that kind of distracting relationship with the one we love.
ReplyDeleteYour word play is a delight and the brevity of the piece lends power. Nicely done.
Hi Kim!!! As always your comments make me smile and feel so appreciated :-) thank you!!
Deleteha..no wonder..who really wants a cure when love's so beautiful..thanks for the smile
ReplyDeleteHi Claudia!! Yep, I'll stay afflicted--as the song says :-)
DeleteThis enjambment makes me infinitely happy:
ReplyDelete"That ellipti-
Call"

DeleteHi Loredana!! Yes, he can be--and I do love it :-) Very nice to see you. Look forward to visiting you, too.
ReplyDeleteSara, thanks for stopping by and commenting on Mother Jones. Funny, but my two sisters were raised the same, but they are Tea Party union-busters. (Cue Mom, turning in her grave!)
ReplyDeleteLoved this poem, in part because you stood the prompt on its ear. There ARE some things, just s few, for which you never, ever want a cure! (wink) Amy
