Simple desires

 

                            Goa, India, 2020

     

With my heart I wish to write,

Books full of life filled with light.

I wish to paint black and white dreams. 

On the canvas of time, hope beams. 

Refreshing long drives on a smooth road 

Breathing in fresh air boredom unload. 

It all comes alive dreamscapes built with feathers.

Happiness in hearts and pleasant weather.

Desiring acceptance of the new normal 

Staying at home becoming habitual. 

I have simple desires,

Oft I put them on fire.

Glazed outcome of burning passion

Flows in my nerves like sensation.

Travelling afar on wings of hope

Craving for freedom, fears elope

Love-filled world with sprinklers of cheerfulness.

Life created to live with artfulness.

Humility and patience in attitude.

Helps to move on with blessings and gratitude

Going simple for day 6 of OctPoWriMo. Still managed to write double Converse.

 The Con-Verse, created by Connie Marcum Wong, consists of three or more 2-line rhyming stanzas (couplets). The meter of this form is in syllabic verse.

Rhyme scheme: aa,bb,cc,dd,ee

Meter: 7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11

(Syllabic verse only counts the number of syllables in a line.)

This form consists of three or more couplets which ascend by one syllable up to and until you reach a syllabic count of eleven which would contain ten lines.

This process may be repeated for a longer verse. If repeated, you must begin your first couplet with the syllabic count of seven again and continue from there.
