E is for Enduring. A-Z Challenge 2015

Enduring this mellow spring

Embracing the shadows,

as they form.

Earnest earthman, 

educated in these endeavours.

Summer is just a door knock

away.

Easter ran away from me,

-Miss Bates.

D is for Demo. A-Z Challenge 2015

Demo#1

Demolished by the people

around her

there‘s no place to hide

having an affair

thinking what she should decide

cannot breathe clearly

through this air.

Easy fix, quick save

a rocky road to the grave

a shorter life, complete numbness.

Drove the car off a cliff

crash and burn

hopeless death.

No misses, no regrets

no broken hearts

with the rest.

Among these broken souls

she‘s flying.

~This was written in my youth, one of the first poems I wrote.
(And no I had not seen Thelma and Louise when I wrote this!)

-Miss Bates.

C is for Cento. A- Z Challenge 2015

A cento is a poetical work wholly composed of verses or passages taken from other authors, disposed in a new form or order.

Don't decide to flee,

from the ashes a fire shall be woken

and the shadows will fall behind you.

We are fated to find each other

 I won't forget you when we part.

And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.

Words thrown together from many of my favourite poems/quotations.

-Miss Bates.

B is for Belated. A-Z Challenge 2015

Balassi Stanza can be defined as,

“A stanza or verse form, consisting of nine line, with syllable counts 667667667. The rhyming structure for a Balassi Stanza is bbaccadda”.

Trying to rise and climb
 waiting to reabsorb
almost like a deep coma.
come cry, apathetic
listen to veridic
there's no agenda
its all been approved
you cant feel excluded
its all for disturbia



~I clapped the syllables, i think they match.
Blessed be the Belated B'day.-Miss Bates.

A is for Abecedism. A-Z Challenge 2015

(Double) Acrostic

~whereas the title of the poem is spelled out on either one side (or both sides of the poem).

Abecedism  
~word created from the initials of words in a phrase



Affirmatively appealing for Euphoria.
Bellyfull,  hoping to desorb.
Emanating from the source
Contemplating typhonic
elision of the catastrophe
degree,  to some adjusted.
Indebted, effendi.
Saltless sandpits
Momentarily minimum.


-Miss Bates.

A-Z Challenge 2015 ~Theme Reveal~

~Better late than never.~

I've finally stumbled into something
that could be a little over my head
but it's too beautiful to throw away.

For this challenge I shall be following the A-Z Handbook
So each day there will be a new form of poetry!

I shall try my best to keep it short, and inform as I go along.

Looking forward to this
A-Z Challenge

-Miss Bates.

Wrap-It-Up. A-Z Challenge 2014

Wrap-It-Up Challenge Time!

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z.

Abnegation breezed courageously,

demoting energetic freethinkers.

Ghastly howlers 

intertwine joyously.

Kismet lingers momentarily,

now over-with.

Prefigured quietus ravages

seraphic taction.

Ultroneous vagility whilom

 xeransis, yoicks zappily.

here are some of the strange words I used;

quietus: discharge from life, extinction, death, silencing

seraphic: serene, blissful, angelic

taction: contact, touch

ultroneous: spontaneous, voluntary

vagility: ability to succeed in the struggle for existence

whilom: formerly, once

xeransis: drying up

yoicks: expression of surprise or excitement

zappily: lively, entertaining

Stephen Chrisomalis;

Thank you for making the Phrontistery; dictionary with obscure words, free and available.

(I didn't even manage to use 1/4th of the words he has hidden away in this gem of a find.)

And of course, 

Big thanks to all you who commented and kept tuned for the whole Challenge.

I hope you enjoyed the challenge as much as I did.
