DIAMANTE POEMS
DIAMANTE
Another form of fun poetry based on shape, just the one in this case, a diamond.
The purpose is to go from the subject at the top of the diamond to another totally different (and sometimes opposite) subject at the bottom. A seven line poem, shaped like a diamond.
Top both opposites, bottom, change of subject. Anything other than the latter then shaped or concrete as per the rules for this type of fun arrangements could be used.

I Don’t Cry At Funerals
I suppose it is because I was at a funeral yesterday and I was thinking of death and funerals, when this came to me in the shower this morning. Real stream of consciousness writing.

“I don’t cry at funerals,” she said to herself. But she must have spoken it aloud as her son gently squeezed her shoulder in comfort.

But here she was watching the young men of the family lift her Grandmother’s casket and walk it out of the church. And here she was crying.
She thought of that wonderful old lady. She had been there for her since her mother had been taken…

Beautiful expression and picture…
Haiku Horizons prompt “shell”
she wears her shell well
pristine sheen hardened to hide
tender truth within

What did I do to deserve this? How could the project I was handling be given to someone else? I have handled it, in the initial difficult stages, when nobody knew anything on the subject. And this guy comes with no qualification or experience, other than his affiliation to a certain group…. Inspired by … Continue reading Emotions
