Lady Luck

Lady Luck ~ (the Nonet) 



Tears, shadows that swallow other tears
united and out of control
eyes decompose like soft coal
water, in swimming hole
everglade pistol 
celestial toll
river pole 
dead soul
pain

~~~~~

All
over
again, pause
deep darken jaws
engraved, digging claws
deteriorating flaws 
still alive, eating what was
waste, rain, disabling because
nature lingers, emotional raw


by;~~~

Nonet, 9 lines, 
beginning 9 syllables, then 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 syllable(s) ~ I hope~

for RICK'S contest...

I know what I like and I like this. Why ? I think because It is like scotch on the rocks ;Bitter but familiar and because it is familiar it is almost comfortable . It is also a little bit dangerous like scotch if you want to much. Keep on keeping on Linda. Your card should read Poems While U Wait !

ending perfectly, with "emotional raw"....each line of it is of raw emotion, and you wrote with excellence, as usual. :)

You have used the nonet and reverse nonet well in conveying someone who is without luck and feels down, out of place and hopelessness...Well written. Take care. Janet

Well titled! I'm reluctant to try the NONET as I'm sure mine wouldn't come out as fluidly as yours! Well done, dp! Best wishes, Keith

For some odd reason, I generally do not appreciate rhyming poetry, but this one really caught me eye. Your use of such vivid imagery made this work especially moving for me. Thanks for sharing. Ian
