Light Without a Shadow Within a puppet booth I hang, a light, a lantern breathing softly in the dark. I burn, but with no shapes to catch my glow I drift, a restless pulse that holds no shape. The stage lies bare. No bodies cross my beam. My light falls thin across the vacant boards, catching on nothing, holding nothing still, no form to prove that I am even here. So I lift masks and hold them to my face, and tilt them just enough to stir the dark, a borrowed outline trembling at the edge, as if the world might take it for a face. Yet even then, a truth hums underneath: that light alone is nothing but a wish for something solid it can bring to life.

#wildwalkprompt #dew #nature #awe #cassiopeian #blankverse
thought I'd try blank verse to make it difficult and prove I can do a nature poem! Also just been for a walk, motivated by Quill's pic. Thanks mate, i need to get out.

Tra-la-la. I have no opinions today. Just promoting my books, as usual.
Enjoy your afternoon.

Q: When is a picture worth a thousand words?
A: When it is a thousand words!
I’ve got some pictures for you. Collectively they are a piece of blank verse (which I don’t normally approve of or practice, so I don’t know how I did). Enjoy?

“Take #stock” he said, it meant “look at yourself”
“Where are you going lad” he should have said
as if I was an inconvenience,
a blot on his record written in red.
There was no roadmap from schooling to work
a blank canvas of possibilities
aching to be painted, then painted more.

Be Free
Machismo flowers rotten suffering
Etched in his tiny oblique weakened mind
Nourished on cheap whiskey, peppered with hate
Aimed at anyone close, anyone there
Conscience hampered, corrupted and befouled
Escape is the only option, be free.

Jester's bank notes: a blank verse Jesters stress about unstressed syllables Shuffling decks of bank notes in blank verse Ordered to perform piece on currency On gift, stuff culture, and the social bank "Step right up, to shop like a billionaire!" Dance for hours for fractions of pennies Entertainment for the next tax bracket Available now with good credit score Virtual versions in expansion packs Smile for the camera, they're watching
Jester's bank notes: a #blankverse
While I typically try to follow the verse rules when I try new forms, I'm sticking it to the "Man" by not following the syllable stressing rule for this one.

#poem #CatenaRondo #2wordprompt #outside #regret #BlankVerse
as well as following the Catena Rondo form. each line is Iambic Pentameter (ish) and can also be called Blank Verse. Which made it tricksy. Hope it works okay

Tried to do Blank Verse - the start and end lines are 6 syllables, the rest 10.
I hope it works as I'm not great at counting syllables!
