Silly Sounds of Love

Hello everyone;

I did say "haphazardly" participating in the April PAD Challenge. This is why day one is being posted after day two.
Day 1 prompt of "write an optimistic poem"

Not Dead Yet, Me

Is it really such a tragedy
that my sentences are raggedy
words tread together by similarity?
The conversation is still defiantly
expressions of me.

Is it really such a travesty
that I wander aimlessly?
When I can travel through time so easily
…our life history
…a life lived outrageously.

Is it really such a disparity
that I have forgotten the melody
of your name? Still there’s some clarity….
I know the feelings of family
and passions intensity.

Is it really such an indignity
that something once familiar is now a novelty.
Or that simple tasks escape me.
I still dance to life’s jamboree
and sing majestically.

Is it really such a finality
even as I become more absentee?
There is plenty of life in my legacy.
Don’t bother writing my eulogy,
when there’s still time to create a memory.

Hello Everyone;
Here is another poem exercise I am sharing with you. The assignment is to write a poem about what it is like to be in love using nonsense/silly sounding words.

Silly Sounds of Love

The heart falters and fears forgotten in the fine mist covering my soul.

Here I stand doughty, doubting, and delirious in yourpresence.

You are benevolent, beautiful, and bodacious all rolled intoone.

In this play of love: prickly, persnickety, passions, andpuns are the stars.
