Galena Whispers for RWP 112

Get Your Poem on #112    

Dave Jarecki prompts: This week, I encourage you to find the “narrative wallpaper” that resides in your home, apartment, memory, etc.

Galena Whispers 

wallpaper was a stranger
calcimine took its stead
staged an army surplus bunkbed

where webs of wires
from a crystal radio
pulled shadows from a rock

nightly sibilance from earphones
scared us into giggles
forever destined to hide fear

for who could foresee that safety
was only a figment of the mind
needled from a chunk of galena

NaiSaiKu for 3WW

ThomG, moderator for 3WordWednesday, offers these words as prompt: odor, frantic, lurch.
For fun, this NaiSaiKu...

the first frantic lurch
from the cafeteria door
he breathed in deeply
the dreaded spinach odor
not so deep he breathed
from the cafeteria door
second frantic lurch

C for ABC Wednesday

ABC WEDNESDAY ROUND 6: C is for.........Comments

A long time ago, I purchased an inexpensive copy of a painting from a going-out-of-business shop.

When I began watercoloring, I watched Terry Madden on PBS when he conducted his weekly workshop with Floridian style images.

I'm not sure when it occurred to me (it was far too long) but I raced to the painting to read the signature. Yup. 'Twas Terry Madden.

Slow? I must be. A coinkidink? Surely.

My darling mother used this term a long time ago and it always made me giggle. I'd never heard it said by anyone outside our small family. Who knew it would find its way into the urban dictionary?

A coindink.     http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=coinkidink


My poem, Dark Clusters, is in the February 2010 Issue of Flutter.
