The Return

I go back there from time to time,
A modest outing to be sure,
Where memory shares so much more,
A passage back to youthful prime.

Each breath I take, a dazzling rhyme,
Each view, high definition clear.
The days, so sharp, they seem so near,
yet know that I’ve but touched the tip
of remembrance with such a trip;
fleeting, it might well disappear.

in these crazed deceitful days,

We will face the beast.

We will face the beast

bleeding the path red

The Survivors. In anticipation of Hurricane Laura

They stand in the way of the wind.
As it roars through the southern seas.
Fierce, careless, it whips water, trees,
Men, women, shattered and skinned.
And once humanity is thinned,
Disposed of by nature’s guile,
Those who live, with stubborn smiles,
Endure as poor mankind must,
With faith, with toil, and with trust
That it was all worth the trial.

The Lady (Person! Woman! Man! Camera! TV!) From The East

The sun darkened, the day was done,
Cold night arrived, an escaping bride,
approached by horse, a fearful ride
and rider routed by the sun.
“I am lost,” she said. “The last one
of my tribe. We dwelt in the east,
lived well, each day a blessed feast.
Then, the Orange Man bought my soul.
Alas, I could not pay that toll.”
I took her in. Her and her beast.

I looked up FLAW in the thesaurus and liked the world FOIBLE. I clicked it and the definition had an example (an all-too-human foible.). I’ve always liked the word foible. I just like the way it sounds. That’s a big part of why I like poetry, the way you can use the sounds of words to help create or convey a step above what the words themselves alone mean.

It’s the painting pictures with words you’ve heard about so often.

It’s not just “The blue sky spreads her shawl over her twin, the ocean, protecting her from death by the Sun’s kiss.”

It’s “The vault of heaven lowers its cerulean veil with each day’s end, to reveal treasures beyond.”

It’s “The celestial sphere shimmers like sapphires with each passing moment.”

Why didn’t I use foible in these examples? That would be helping. Me? Help? Never… MUahahahahhaahaha. (That’s my maniacal laugh.)

polluted veins – a poem

August 20, 2020August 25, 2020 Ronovan Poetry Christian Poem, free verse poetry, Poetry, poetry to appear in a novel

Polluted Veins – by Ronovan Hester

~*~

The problems of man are just so, the problems of man.

Man fell from the gift of God’s creation to the gift of its own.

He gives us centuries of warning of disaster to come.

From the lowest of lands to the driest of earth,

from the wind-torn paths to the fruitless sands.

Knowledge, God’s greatest gift tells us the patterns of our fate.

He provides new histories to add to that of our lives.

We heed them or stay with our stubborn and troubled paths.

Some can go. Some cannot.

Those with none, need those with abundance.

To move from the barren, the heartache must travel.

Life is for living our ancestors know. Forgiveness is granted.

Blaming the heavens for what we as Man have done,

is our peril and denial of the twisted blood

through centuries Man has spun.

I leap into a life as one of God’s open-eyed man,

With a hope to right the wrongs in our ancestries’ polluted veins…

brought through its greedy sins.

To find the solutions to the decaying of our inner being.

My prayer is this, to keep the path, The Way.

To open the blind-eyed into those of the seeing.

To fill the world with hope and strength,

To see the truth in our life as Man.

To end my life… on the day that comes… with the, I Am.

New Love in a Pandemic

This is it then, each breath, each way,
we stand apart, six feet or more,
To make the point, as death lists soar,
It is a fresh and fearful day.
I want you close. We cannot stay
apart, we cannot miss our time,
ardour turned on a viral dime.
Love should be wild and grandiose,
Yet intimate, held sweet and close,
Not seen as a public health crime.

nature saves – a kouta poem

August 16, 2020August 16, 2020 Ronovan Poetry, Poetry Forms Animal, Japan, Japanes poetry style, Kouta Poetry, Kouta style poetry, Man, Nature, Poetry, Poetry about Conservation

care for life in all its forms

each with purpose and meaning

protecting one another

fail in this means death

The Japanese poetry form of kouta, meaning little song, was apparently created during the Muromachi Period (14th-16th centuries). It became popular again during the late 1800s as a Geisha song style.

There are two versions;

A four-line or quatrain poem with the syllable pattern of 7/5/7/5.
A four-line or quatrain poem with the syllable pattern of 7/7/7/5.

There are no hard and fast theme elements to consider. Some kouta use colloquialisms and onomatopoeia. The thing to remember is, it’s all according to your imagination. I have seen sites mentioning a fifth line may be added

For added information:

One point to consider about the Geisha song style of Kouta is, the song may contain a 5/7/7 style. This is based on the first such Geisha song using this style in 1856. There may also be confusion in how the west interprets the style into English.
