Hibiscus in Full Sun
The Spanish name for the hibiscus is “obelisco.” Why this is, I do not know, unless it is because of the long stamen which is remotely obelisk-shaped. jdbphoto
Enamoured
This poem was written making use of only the letters of the word enamoured, which was the prompt word for today.
Enamoured
Mere man, mere dame,
a mean red moon.
A dream remade,
a mar, a dune.
Marooned and moored
and no end near.
Me enamoré.
Me arrear.
(In Spanish, a”mar” is a sea or ocean, but “a mar” can also mean to love. “Me enamoreé“means “I fell in love.” “Me Arrear” can mean either “I got caught,” “drive me” or “Grab me.” It also carries the connotation for me that the object of her affection’s love might be in arrears. “En arrear” can have that meaning in Spanish as well. Since I used the British spelling of the title word to increase my choices, I guess you could say this poem is trilingual. Comes in handy when limited in the consonants and vowels one can use.
Odontonema (Cardinal’s Crest): Flower of the Day, Aug 29, 2017
When I built the new patio around my studio to assist in drainage, I had to have them build it around this Cardinal’s Crest plant. Here are a few studies of this shady lady. You can click on them if you want to enlarge them.
Rhyming Violation
The prompt word today is rhyme.
Rhyming Violation
There is a reason and a rhyme
to the word they chose this time.
For though I am not in my prime
and don’t play tennis, do not climb
or stoop too low to conquer grime,
In any terrain, any clime,
my mind spins like a twirling dime.
If over-rhyming were a crime,
I’d probably be doing time.
(If you are a glutton for punishment, yes, you can click on these to enlarge them.)
44 Words of Bliss
bliss
in darkness
under tossing palms
clouds obscuring stars
the small dog newly well
running to find the ball
bliss not a thing hand-delivered
for years now
I need to go find it like
a green ball buried in the shadows
of succulent obscuring vines
For dVerse poets–a quadrille (44 word poem) on the topic of bliss.
Let No Man Put Asunder: Odd Ball Challenge, Aug 27, 2017
This is a found photo, not one I took, but couldn’t resist including this photo of two graves of a couple, one protestant and the other catholic, buried in adjoining graveyards designated solely for their own religion, divided by the wall men and convention built but joined in spite of it, just as in life.

Words Coming Together with Words
Words Coming Together with Words
This word right HERE is copacetic.
Not rancorous, angry or frenetic,
but because it is magnetic,
other words peripatetic
suddenly become kinetic
and join it to turn epithetic.
Postscript: I can’t help rhyming. It’s genetic!!!
My mother and I wrote rhymed poems together from the time I was small. I guess she was the one who put the magnetism into words for me. Thanks, Mom.
Now I only have Kukla as a collaborator. She leaves most of the word decisions to me.
The prompt today was magnetic.
