I am participating in two challenges this month, OctPoWriMo and Inktober. To make it easier on myself, I’m trying to write a new poem on odd-numbered days and make a drawing on even-numbered days.
The prompt for Day 1 is The Dark Night of the Soul. Morgan Dragonwillow posted this gorgeous music video that is just the right background for my poem.
Drowning Soulfire
The chaos of soulfire exploding on the pitchblack horizon
Like the awakening of a million fireworks
Swirls bursting into blooms of pain
Scorching blazes burning bones bare
Can anyone extinguish the anguish
Can flames blossom into fragrant spring bouquets
Drown me in polar seas
Let my heart melt ancient glaciers
So I unleash galloping floodwaters
Wiping out surfers and whalespouts
Knocking down monuments and lofty towers
Eliminating memory illuminating despair

Powerful imagery. I really liked these lines: “Can anyone extinguish the anguish /
Can flames blossom into fragrant spring bouquets”. The pain and chaos turning into something calm and bright as a bouquet. If only it were that easy. I’d like to turn a few things this week into bouquets. It’d make them easier to deal with. 🙂
Good luck on your OctPoWriMo and Inktober adventures!
