Fifth Element
That vessel formed from water and earth?
Air fanned the fire that gave it birth.
Then something came and filled me up
until I overflowed my cup
and flowed to other lands and climes––
spilling words to flow in rhymes,
verses, stories, volumes and
fabrications of mind and hand
that created each further world
that has continuously unfurled
from what came after the birth
of my body spawned by water, earth,
fire and air––something anew
born out of that primordial goo
that gave birth to all the rest,
then stirred me from the natal nest
with the blessed germination
of sparks of imagination
that infused each element
with spirit that was heaven sent.
What gave us words and poetry
was the element that gave birth to me.
for dVerse Poets Pub the prompt is to write about our association with one of the four elements: air, earth, water, fire.

Picking Your Pieces
Invest in possibilities and bifurcate your worries.
Soon enough these balmy days will change to winter’s flurries.
But why let future problems intercede today?
Best enjoy the present and put future woes away.
Being in a smaller pond makes you a bigger fish,
so whatever your situation, exercise your swish
and live your life with flair and joy. Wring all the zest from life.
It does no good to drown yourself in thoughts of gloom and strife.
Sometimes I find that in this life I get what I expect,
so when life hands you troubles, why don’t you just object
and turn those woes to prospects and insist on being chipper?
Why choose to be a pessimist when optimism’s hipper?
You might call me a dreamer, but that’s okay with me.
Why be imprisoned by your doubts when you could be free?
Life needn’t be a puzzle. It can be a quest.
Pick out the parts that you prefer and throw away the rest.
The prompt for My Vivid Blog today was “Flurries.”

Indigo
The color known so well by teens
that is used to color jeans?
Bet you thought, as I thought, too,
indigo was a shade of blue.
Yet, upon further inspection
during internet detection,
it seems more pupleish a hue
which transforms itself to blue.
For dVerse Poets Quadrille Monday the prompt is “indigo.” (Image by Levi Strauss)
