Totally Optional Prompts suggests a ghazal for this week's theme.
I staggered around the entire week and failed to ignite a tiny flame for this form. My muse seems to have turned toes up and moved to more lucrative venues.
Staggering did bring me to this site, however. Check out One Word. Even though I didn't succeed here, either, I'll keep plugging away. :)
In lieu of new stuff, here's an old thing that I still like:
A Spill of Dawn
ashes of the mystic
solid as the dark
gritty in its ending
totems and taboos
wrap the fiction
of belief
no amount of voodoo
can halt the nightmare
of these days

An oldie but a goodie! I hope the block doesn't last too long! :)
Thanks, Sue, for the poem and for the fun link to one word.

P.S. Hope you're feeling well
Hi, this reminds me of the song 'Very supersticious writings on the wall' Neat!
It may not be a ghazal but it's a powerful, direct poem! Thanks (and for visiting...).
You capture perfectly the beauty, yet horror, of unbridled superstition.
You amaze me, blocked or not! The watercolor is super for this post.
But each new dawn gives hope the nightmare is over. Though sometimes it just seems to recur...and recur.
I love "One Word". Flash fiction is such a favorite or mine.
