A Ha'Sonnet Will Do
The beauty myth
says there’s a norm
encumbered with
a defined form
And yet for me
it’s what I see
with my heart’s eye
(C) Stephen W. Buchanan 2019
In response to the 18 August daily prompt at the Brave & Reckless blog and based on the title of a seminal feminist book ‘The Beauty Myth’ by Naomi Wolf.
Shadows arose
consciousness fled
The pillow rose
to meet my head
All noted by
the bluest eye
with Persian fur

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.
The Irish eyes
are smiling bright
as music flies
into the night
from songs that flow
from fiddle bow
employed with joy
