A Ha'Sonnet Will Do
Shadows arose
consciousness fled
The pillow rose
to meet my head
All noted by
the bluest eye
with Persian fur
(C) Stephen W. Buchanan 2019
In response to the 17 August daily prompt at the Brave & Reckless blog and based on the title of a seminal feminist book ‘The Bluest Eye’ by Toni Morrison.
It is the start
of a new day
Not the best part
I have to say
If it’s the best
what of the rest
Hope for much more
(C) Stephen W. Buchanan 2019
They scaled the wall
then charged the guard
who didn’t fall
but fought them hard
The sweep was swept
The keep was kept
Again. Till when
(C) Stephen W. Buchanan 2018
