from deep dark, he rose
to spread wings, to fly and scorch
the men of the lake

I loved those days, him in his swing,
and those when he giggled to swim.
Hopes to play in the big boy gym,
or watch Pooh and Pig’et and sing.
Now I see him sinking, drowning,
‘neath pressure not meant his to be.
I reach out to lift the weight free,
receiving rebukes for my care.
Being told it’s not my affair,
just a father in name only.
My entry for this week’s Décima Poetry Challenge No. 26 SWING.
© 2020- Ronovan Hester Copyright reserved. The author asserts his moral and legal rights over this work.
You may, if you wish, make some kind of link between the Haiku Challenge prompt of (SCORCH & SHADOW). and SWING.
The 2 CHALLENGES are SEPARATE but CAN BE combined if YOU CHOOSE to do so.
Take your haiku and carry its theme into your Décima poem. This does not mean add the Haiku to your Décima unless you just want to. But/and you could add the link to your Haiku into your Décima post somewhere.
It can either support the haiku, enhance it through the opportunity of more lines, or completely turn the theme on its head and write an argument against the haiku message, which is kind of what a Décima is for, writing a counter to another Décima.
If you wrote a true nature haiku, you could flip its message into one about humans and the man-made world around us, such as politics, society, and even love. Yes, love is a man-made thing. At least among the humans. I suppose it could be a penguin-made thing among the penguins.
You may also if you like, try to use the Haiku Challenge words in your Décima somewhere. In fact, we have a lady that’s pretty consistent in doing that. And does so with such ease, you don’t even realize she’s done it unless you know she does it and look for it.
Welcome to the Décima Poetry Challenge. Each week we’ll be attempting a Décima, also known as an Espinela, poem.
If you don’t know how to write a Décima, click HERE to go to a post on How to Write an Espinela or Décima Poem.

Keep reading and find out, with an example included.
Back to our scheduled Décima Poetry Challenge what to and what not to do.
If you can’t come up with a Décima using the given prompt, you can use a Synonym instead. I don’t want to stall your creativity, and with the possibility of a synonym, you will certainly write something amazing…or in my case, something that rhymes.

Here is the quick description of a Décima:
There are 10 lines of poetry that rhyme. 8 syllables.
There is a set rhyming pattern we must stick to. abbaaccddc
The prompt word given (in the post heading) must appear at the end of one of the given rhyme lines, either A, B, C, or D.
Let’s look at the rhyme pattern once again and you will see what I mean.
The rhyming pattern is abbaaccddc with a choice of a break between line 4 and 5, then being abba accddc, which I use in my example below.
Example, if I say in the subject line of the post:
“…(FALL) This week it’s the B rhyme line.”
my Décima might be…
NO!
As the end wept upon the land,
we could hear the approaching fall.
Justice answered the trumpet’s call,
trusting the fight to her troop’s hand.
Fate trembles with haste to expand,
through misdeeds by her shameless foe.
Past foolish decisions now crow,
“Wait—no—this was not meant to be.”
They beg the nation, “Hear our plea.
Heal honor, shout, no…no… NO!”
Notice the example prompt word ‘FALL’ is in line 2, the first B line, and its rhyme in is in line 3, matching the rhyming pattern of abba accddc.
For today’s challenge, the word SWING must be one of the A line words. Then the other A line(s) word(s) must rhyme with SWING.
Sometimes you break the rhyme into two stanzas using the following rhyme pattern. abba/accddc.
Once you complete your poem and post it on your blog, copy the link and place it in the comments in this post. That way other people can visit your post and check out your poem. You can also put the link of this challenge in your post to let your followers know where to go if they want to participate. This is called a Pingback.

Nice to see some join in that missed the previous week. That almost made up for the ones out this week. Crazy world right now. I’ll do a better prompt word for #26 and it’s in the A rhyme spot so this should be good.

The Debate
At the heart of a good debate
might be ideas proffered well,
a give, a take, a stunning swell
of thought on what might be our fate.
But no, not this, to decimate,
to thrash with rage, with vitriol,
the man, his clan; this playground brawl
demeans us all, a sadness, yet still
we watched until we had our fill,
grieving for what might next befall.

Today, Tuesday, October 6th, is Mad Hatter Day, so get your imbecilic nonsense on. I know I did.
Mad Mad…what was I talking about again?
I’m neither here nor there but yonder
smudging the windows of your pains.
Did you know I’ve been seen in seines,
while you stink of Salamander?
Have I seen a girl, much blonder,
than that tailored swift one just there?
Such a question is plain not fair,
I’ll be the hook of her next trill.
But she’ll not catch me standing still
for I’ll pull out my Joyn Mayair.
You might have a bit of fun figuring out some of the words and how they’re used in the story of the poem. Some happened by accident when I read back through. And with a little word change here and there, it jelled. I even ventured into the Lord of the Rings stories, but fortunately thought better.
My entry for this week’s Décima Poetry Challenge No. 25 STILL.

Shade here is not one of the traditional dictionary definitions.
The term can be found in Jane Austen‘s novel Mansfield Park (1814). Young Edmund Bertram is displeased with a dinner guest’s disparagement of the uncle who took her in: “With such warm feelings and lively spirits it must be difficult to do justice to her affection for Mrs. Crawford, without throwing a shade on the Admiral.”
In other words, it’s an insult but an insult of another level.
The first major use of “shade” that introduced the slang to the greater public was in Jennie Livingston‘s documentary film, Paris Is Burning (1990), about the mid-1980s drag scene in Manhattan.[2][4] In the documentary, one of the drag queens, Dorian Corey, explains that shade derives from “reading”, the “real art form of insults”. Shade is a developed form of reading: “Shade is, I don’t tell you you’re ugly. But I don’t have to tell you, because you know you’re ugly. And that’s shade.”
I’ve seen the documentary and I can attest to the truth that shade is a whole other level of insult. If done correctly, it’s done with style, grace, and directly to your face.
See quotes in Throw Shade Wikipedia.

I had the plan, so close to shore,
then with one word, it all shattered.
That just proved I never mattered,
that I wasn’t wanted anymore.
~
It will come, that day we yearn for,
the one we share in our night dreams.
Remember our night of moonbeams,
when the air went quiet and still?
Love so large, the stars could not fill,
yet, I must wait, through muffled screams.

calm beauty returns

calm beauty returns
at the final gust of breath
the ear knows silence

and the roaring void is hope
the listless will stir
*
the listless will stir
when empty truths are laid bare
pray good sense prevails

but no matter the gale, the name,
I huddle, wait for nature’s test.
In most things, I am a person blessed,
pleasure found in my cozy nook,
the odd glance, a slight probing look
at the gloomier side of life,
hardship, war, hunger, so much strife,
glad for the bliss of a good book.

Thank you to all those who participated this week. The more the that write the more I know I offer the right prompt words for the week. It isn’t always easy to come up with original ones I haven’t used before, at least not after 300 of these. I have been forced to use a few twice. As long as y’all write and enjoy, I’ll keep doing them.
