Move Me Poetry Battle Submission for 12 May 23

The battle prompt word was “Mask”

I wasn’t sure if things would come togther, but I found some words, and here they are!

MASK


Mask me with your words

I believe them

Mask me with your touch

I feel them

Mask me with your cares

I need them

Except

It’s a mask

I will never know 

What’s behind that mask

You use it to hide

The truth 

From me

From you.

Throw off your mask

Be true.

Move Me Poetry Battle submission, 7 April 23

This weeks Move me Poetry Battle prompt was “Confrontation”.

I read the prompt words last night and wrote something, but it doesn’t fit within the parameters this week.

But here it is.

‘Is is peace we seek
From quiet words we speak.
Or is it an amalgamation
For confrontation.
Are our words
Meant to scorge
Or is it the way we were forged.
Do we really know any better?
From the formation of letters,
How they resign
Within another’s mind.
We should seek that understanding lest our words
Be too demanding.
Not all feel free within the words.
Choose wisely what you speak,
For many are far from weak.”

Hope you enjoy! Join me on any of my other socials via this link if you’d like. My poetry is also published on Medium.

Flubbed the parameters of MMPB this week, but here it is anyway. 24 Mar 23

I have a bad habit of reading what the prompt word is, and sometimes pondering, then seeing if I come up with something.

Only thing I forget to do sometimes, is read what kind of week it is. 🙄

So I just took the prompt word, “Daydream” and starting writing.

Guess what? It didn’t fit, but I liked what I wrote… so here ‘tis.

DAYDREAM

“Daydream of crystal springs, rippling smoothly flowing streams.

Hot sand blowing, stinging

Heat waves on your face.

Daydream of quiet falling snowflakes, landing so gently upon your face, like that is exactly where they were meant to fall.

Each one completely different from the other,

And yet the same.

Daydream of summer thunderstorms,

Standing in the rain and the cleansing it creates within your soul.

Daydream of your heart filled with love and compassion.

Daydream of those special places tucked deep inside,

And daydream them back into life.

Just daydream. “

Move Me Poetry Battle Submission 17 Mar 23

The Move Me Poetry Battle prompt for this week is “Dissolve”.

Dissolve my anguishes and reach into my heart

Remove remorse, guilt and bring forth a new start.

Vanquish blurry nightmares with a swift new breeze

Engulf my lungs with the air that frees.

Remove any tenacious lingering pain

Replace it with fresh light and hopes that remain.

Give strength that embraces a new view of life

One that understands and flows without great strife.

Continue to steady, 
support and give patience

As life is a lesson in worth of conveyance.

Seek out the fresh streams that cleanse my soul

Wash my body clean of strenuous control.

Empower me with freedom to seek arduous rising

That uplifts and removes the never ending capsizing.

Seek within me the wheels of smooth growth

So I can see the bright light of my own oath.

To continue to fight, this menace of death,

Which steals and destroys my life’s precious breath.

For I know in my soul that blessings abound,

All I must do is keep steady, and sound.

This is my declaration to dissolve,

The demons that haunt me within my resolve.

Banish you trickster, for you have no claim

As I move forward, ignoring your distain.

My life belongs to me; you are nothing but a gar

I will wipe you away, like the infection you are,

I’m still here creating, living and you are just huffing

Soon to be forgotten like nothing,

Blown away, sloughed off like yesterday’s uncoupling.

Shining days ahead without you in my head,

I will win the battle, even if by a thin thread.
