Vale — a Silver Shovel poem by Michelle Ayon Navajas

Vale

agonizing thoughts poets
beg to end; just wanna dream
sky’s darker shade with moonlit
peeping in the corner the night.

the never-ending finifugal
of wanting to say goodbye
but not needing to let go
all in one piece of prose;

and maybe of poetry, that
would stellify every desire
heart’s filled with meraki, as
universe may finally say;

take it or leave it
never look back or
don’t let go, pick one
choice is yours.

adieu is hard, harsh or
sometimes an outright
death sentence, but
every poetry has to end;

just as every story, vale?

This is my final offering for Val’s NPM Scavenger Hunt: https://murisopsis.wordpress.com/2023/03/31/looking-at-nonce-forms-for-npm/

The Silver Shovel by Monty Vern is a variation on the Golden Shovel where you take a line or lines from an existing poem and credit the original poet and poem.

The Silver Shovel uses each KEY word as an end word…

irritatingly nudging me
this librocubicularist
sets the book down
closes weary eyes
and meanders her mind
to all the wondrous places

Lauren disliked swearing with a passion, not just herself but others too.

She was stuck at the computer all day, and unable to go outside. Looking a spreadsheets would give her a headache. Especially when she didn’t get a lot of rest.

She typed in the same paragraph several times. The computer didn’t like her grammar, or her words. She typed in Meraki and it scribbled a line underneath, giving her passion instead.

‘Oh, Cosmogyral!’ she screamed, before wishing the computer could be thrown out of the nearest window. ‘

Today was the worst day ever.

‘You…

Rainbow in a cave

My pup refuses to jump from the bed, and enjoys the scenario perched on his high spot. His sibling is busy exploring dark corners to find a treasure (or so she thinks) she can flaunt to beat him at the game. Golden ambitions make some people focus on preservation, more than exploration. The colour of … Continue reading Rainbow in a cave
