Happy Valentine’s Day!! 💘
To my Romeo (A Valentine Day’s Sonnet)
Here’s and oldy, but my feelings haven’t changed!!

My precious Romeo, you inspire this write.
How I love the way you play free and young,
Invading my dreams you brighten my night,
Always imagining your wet, red, tongue.
Let me compare you to a ripe cherry?
You are more cordial, sublime and sweet,
Ice bites the leashed walks of February,
And winter leaves snow tracked in by four feet.
How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
I love your innocent eyes, teeth and nose.
Gazing into your brown eyes fills my days,
I reach for my phone as you sit and pose.
Now I must command to your loyal heart,
Remember my true words whilst we’re apart.
Written for Ingrid’s Sonnet Sunday
Nothing But the Sun #AldousHuxley #AlbertCamus #dverseMTB
In their greasy overalls
the cautious tenderness
the low gurgling
out of the vestibule
there was nothing but the sun
“There’s a good fellow”
It shattered into little pieces
“Throw it all away”
Out of the corner of his eye
an angry murmur
behind a large rock
Laura is today’s host for dVerse’ Meet the Bar. Laura says:
• Choose TWO books of prose
• Pick ONE page from each
• Extract SHORT LINES from each page*
• ALTERNATE them to make a poem
• Use italics and plain font to differentiate the text sources
• Use one of the source lines or a combination as TITLE
Stick to these Guidelines:
–DO NOT ADD ANYTHING of your own to the lines
–You may use enjambment
–You could split the poem into stanzas
–CITE YOUR SOURCES with author, book title and page number
The italicized lines are taken from Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (page 211)
and the regular font is taken from The Stranger by Albert Camus (page 55)
I’m curious to see how you all interpret this original channeled message from these provocative authors. I even made a video of it and posted to my YouTube channel and Instagram with the prompt explained. Hope you enjoy!!

Slow Roll Saturday
All Through the Night
Snooping stars
stare
as we drain the dark side
of moon
gulp it down black
and plant daffodils
in deep scars
