'lowing
God's voice and grace without slant.
NaPoWriMo 2011, day 3
Not without poetry had a photograph prompt today with the words: voicing, shucked & slant. I decided to use only the words.
...I Will Die

When butterflies tickle my belly, I will die.
Tree leaves will mellow before I last sigh,
And, birds will choir where I will die.
Abrasive handfuls of dirt will baptize my eyes,
Somewhere in the Bluegrass Mountains, I will die.
A stream will pass my grave's side as it draws nigh;
Beneath an August sunset, there, I will die.
A locket of earth will hold my body's loss without pry,
From death and decay... I will die.
NaPoWriMo 2011, day 2
That Ageless Sound
It's that ageless sound
Of half broke horses
Breaking earth
Under an afternoon sun.
Of half broke horses
She's come undone
Under an afternoon sun,
These things... hidden.
She's come undone
This is all
These things... hidden,
Of dust on air.
This is all
Two hoofs breaking earth
Of dust on air-
It's that ageless sound.
NaPoWriMo 2011~
Today's prompt was to use three book titles in a poem. I used these titles:
Half Broke Horses by Jeanette Walls
She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
This Is All by Aidan Chambers
And, I also used a horse photo I'd taken at River Downs last year.
