Kim Rodrigues Poet Blank verse

Moods of Madness

Bright yellow sun, a stroke of noon’s delight.
Ice cold, red hot, a ravished tongue of spurs.

In moonlight serenade she scales the roof.
The darkling wine on lips — a sparkling feast.

Her rhizomic heart drum, in mystic beats.
The beast detests the prince of pomposity.

Cracked branches fall with weight from snow and ice
and eyes despise the madman’s gaze, above.

Her soft-hued dress resembles candlelight
And leave a stain, a heart in pain – yes, both.

(1)Blushing Daisies
(2) Ice Cold Red Hot
(3) Crumpled Sheets
(4)The Bellydance
(5) Bloodroot
(6) The Prince of Pomposity
(7) Weathered
(8) Death Overrules All Judgments Her on Earth
(9) Pretty Harvest
(10) Shooting Blanks

Michael Tor December 26, 2024 at 8:09 AM Captivating and gripping poem Kim. This looks like it took a lot of work. I wrote a Tribute to Tom Cunningham would love for you to read if your not too busy. I know you follow Tom and he follows you... God bless and have a safe and healthy New Year Dear Lady. Hugs... Kim Rodrigues December 26, 2024 at 10:02 AM I will check it out! I decided for this poem to see what I had under sonnets and blank verse. Most lines here are 10 syllables. Thank you, Mike!
