now and than for Big Tent

Big Tent Poetry offers this prompt: Think of a few well-known word couples and let (or compel) one of them go a little sideways. Then set your mind free and write a poem.




now and than

each in hand
a blink, a split
a fist opens
and than flies up
to spite the face of now

to hold them
mindfully
at the same time
is a ticket
off the slickest slope

where buttered
bread lands
dry side down
a dreamy trade
when now is than

A digital photo.

Summer on a Stem for Magpie Tales

Magpie Tales offers this image for prompt. Please visit the site to see what others wrote!





Summer on a Stem


reluctant as a teen
towing toddler siblings
spring drags summer
by a string

the cold/wet stumbles
summer springs ahead
bastes green tomatoes
with her red hot hug

she fires the juices
heats winter bedded thirsts
trades buds for vibrant color
of summer on a stem

Y for ABC Wednesday

ABC WEDNESDAY ROUND 6: Y is for Yarn and Yak

And YOGA

Seeing photos of gurus balanced on one finger, abs in full blown lusciousness and a look of total bliss masking the face, I knew yoga wasn't for me.

But when encouraged by a friend to enroll in an easy yoga class some time back, I found it very enjoyable and continue to practice. Nothing strenuous, you understand, but a few of the easier stretches, bends and poses which increase my stamina and flexibility.

I've avoided that feared one-finger stand. And I try not to be upset during Down Dog pose when my eyes flap shut from the bottom up and I lose sight of my potential abs.

This is the DVD I use for a full routine. I don't have a Wii but it's on my wish list. I've tried its yoga program and love it.


Do you use Yoga for meditation or flexibility?
