Rain clouds slowly moved on after resolving their differences with an impatient evening sky anxiously waiting to throw a star-spangled velvet cover on the remains of the day If the full moon could speak he would gently ask for the wind to refrain That the sea might remain calm and allow its light to reflect on a still surface illuminating the night The artist’s preparations, meticulous A serene nightscape comes to life On a daily blank canvas Earth and sky exist in harmony Calming, soothing and brilliant in its beauty Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Word Prompts Star-spangled - RDP Resolve - FOWC If - Stream of Consciousness

Senryu A moonlit night sky A crescent of silver glass Lighting your beauty Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved
A wafer-thin moon appears in the late afternoon sky Pale as milk and semi-transparent Mirroring my mood of this day Having fallen by the wayside of everyday life Feeling as fragile as a crumbling cracker being spread with ice cold butter Jarred by the day’s impossible round of bare-knuckle punches Rejected, insignificant Weary from the extraordinary efforts I managed to perform without regard or thanks Taking a deep breath I stare at the simple beauty before my eyes The transformation from a gossamer moon to a thick cheesy ball smiling back at me I sense my equilibrium being restored as my body drinks the medicine for my soul Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Victoria C. Slotto is guest hosting Meeting art the Bar at D'Verse tonight and has prompted us with the Soliloquy. Soliloquy is a form of speech spoken aloud by a character but addressed to no one except his or her self. The purpose of the soliloquy is to allow the audience to get a glimpse of the character’s inner thoughts and feelings while keeping them hidden from the other characters. The soliloquy differs from a monologue in that the latter is spoken so that other characters may be made privy to the speaker’s point of view. A soliloquy can express thoughts, emotions, intentions, plans and desires. It can influence the unfolding of the plot and can create irony. Image - Pixabay
