Shakespeare is writing Romeo and Juliet, I think. It sounded like "But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?" to me.

This is SO fun to me... #Shakespeare is sounding out his #writing in exaggerated, obvious #iambicpentameter, like the way I used to have to do it when I was memorizing his plays or sonnets in school.

It's so funny to me to imagine he might ALSO have had to do this 😆

Perhaps a trade of scarlet blood-tipped blades

For the many golden years awaiting

War a vehement storm with no calm eye

Truth exists beyond pointless debating

#iambicpentameter

When the thought of bone chilling ice rises

Hearts relate to the fleeing Qunari

Somewhere beyond burning fields and dry lakes

Freedom, true freedom, must exist somewhere

I like the phrase “resting vocabulary” as heartbeat provides rhythm for poetry, spoken word, rap, etc. #iambicpentameter and mother fucking trochees

The sunken hearts rise to a waking dream

Last night's EWS @saloneurope.bsky.social #poetry session w/French poet Julie Irigaray was GOOD! I'm glad I'm in the full course. Next one - November 23. #Alexandrine Metre has 12 syllables per line... Take that, #IambicPentameter of my youth! It's for all levels, so if you're tempted, join!

A picture of a yellow library building in Solomon Islands with mountains in the background and this poem overlaid on the sky: A Conversation Outside the Charles Elliot Fox library at Kohimarama “The birds around here speak sometimes”, he said, “the smallish brown ones with the yellow eyes. You have to pay attention though, they spread their mottled wings, glance back, say their goodbyes and then before you know it they have gone, packed up their conversation and moved on.” “We used to have a bishop here,” he said, “who was well known for talking to the birds and other creatures.  Once the rats all fled from the cassava patch at just a word from Bishop Fox.  His grave is over there. It's said the birds still join with him in prayer.” I tried to pay attention like he said, but though I watched and listened for a week, I talked to them, sang songs, and shared my bread, I never once did hear the Myna speak. Beside the Charles Fox library, filled with words, I sit in silence, praying with the birds. Rich Clarkson, 2025

A new poem inspired by a conversation I had during my recent visit to Melanesia

“Iambic Pentameter” Was Not On The List of Essential Criteria in This Job Posting “Follow me, I’ll show you the printer room,” she says, her smile friendly, her tone polite.

I wrote something. It’s weird. Hopefully at least a little funny.

“Iambic Pentameter” Was Not On The List of Essential Criteria in This Job Posting, a short story about a rather odd workplace.

So it seems i sniffed a little bit of Shakespearean intrigue going on at the Alaska summit, and was inspired to jot down a short scene between two scoundrels being driven in the Beast.

Study the mossy walls of Cadash Thaig
learn the names of scattered titan’s glory.

Spelunk dark blighted caves of the deep roads.

Trespass through the floating crossroad pathways.

Rebel against false gods that smite us down.

Time Enough If there is time enough for this and that, for endless hours to deconstruct ennui and countless minutes lost in might have been, then surely there is room for something more.?

If there is time enough for this and that,
for endless hours to deconstruct ennui
and countless minutes lost in might have been,
then surely there is room for something more.
The clock’s always correct just once a day.

Maker have you left us here with ashes
of a forgotten light—your holy bride?

#DragonAge #iambicpentameter

brecilian bark named after iron,
to where has your spark of potential gone?
restoration, young acorns return home—
safety from the bear and from the lion.

#iambicpentameter

Minor cadence played with lonely fingers
Duets reverb between lovers—linger

#DragonAge #iambicpentameter

Darkened midnight sky hanging over head.
Maker grant you blessings in this homestead.

#DragonAge #iambicpentameter

Three comrades (from left to right) a magical investigator, an author turned leader, and an inquisitive natural born archer all stand before a mirror illuminating the interior of an ancient ruin.

Mirror mirror in a fade of longing,
Take me to the place that I belong in.

#DragonAge #iambicpentameter

Bleeding from the festering wounds of blight.
Heavy falling tears like tsunami waves.
Convoys refuse to surrender the fight.
History recalls them among the brave.

#iambicpentameter

Kneeling underneath a heavy downpour

#iambicpentameter

Chevaliers postulating for power,
Forgetful of the breach that blights our sky.
What good will worldly luxuries provide
In the vengeful spirit’s reclamation?

#iambicpentameter #poetry

Waiting on the hand that heals the sky’s wound.
Distance closes from this world and the next.
Every garden blooming with crystal grace,
Also longs for new rain to touch dry ground.
