Chaos. Now there is a word for you. As I was trying to determine what word to use for the challenge, and no, I don’t have a list somewhere I pull from, the jumble was happening. I usually try to use a word that goes along with something happening in life. Well, I think chaos works. But maybe not why some think. For me, chaos is all around me and inside. I can’t spend five minutes trying to do one thing before I’m interrupted with something else. And I don’t even go to an office or anywhere for a job. I’m take care of my mother and still try to write and create. Then we have a, now, 2 year old Sheltie who thinks he’s still 2 months old. The two combined don’t make for the most peaceful environment. Then there is the crazy of the world which some think is new but is really just a continuation and a cycle of what has happened and will happen again. Yeah, I really like having studied History in college, then watching people talk about politics and the world when they don’t actually understand what they are actually referring to means. Then there is college football here in the US. Then the MCU movies. And the Star Wars Acolytes series. I realized the other day I just need to know that some people enjoy just hating everything they don’t like and tearing it down and in most of those cases there’s nothing that can be done about it. All you do by trying to correct things is bring more chaos and less joy in your own life. So let it go. Go your own way. And any other songs you can think of.

OVI POETRY

Ovi is a syllabic/metre poetry form. In this case, Ovi is from India, originating in the Marathi language. The Ovi  has been in use in written form since the 13th Century, but the women’s ovee/ovi predates the literary form by at least the 12th Century.

The Ovi are in general, lyrical folk songs expressing love, social irony, and heroic events. They are written in the following scheme.

4 line stanzas, as few as one stanza and up to as many as you like.

8 syllables or less per line

Rhyming is AAAb. The second stanza would be CCCd. The third, EEEf. And so on. Meaning nothing in one stanza must rhyme with anything in the previous stanza. The fourth line does not rhyme.

Example:

Roly Poly by Judi Van Gorder

The big toothed tot with golden hair
picked up a bug on Sister’s dare,
it rolled into a ball right there
and won her springtime heart.

Notice the rhyming pattern is AAAb or
A

My Attempt

Blue flowers continue to grow,
with the shadow’s making them glow,
giving life to darkness and woe,
dying each year to yet return.
