#OctPoWriMo Day 4-Falling

I've got nothing to add to today's prompt which is to write about falling. I am going to simply let my words speak. And no form as I'm just finding it too difficult to deal with today.

Leap of Faith

By Jessica Kay

 

I feel there is nothing in falling,

I am weightless, perhaps

But there is no fear;

 

Fear came before I took the leap,

Not knowing if I’d fly or die-

Fearless now am I

 

As the air rushes around my body

And I still breathe,

Though the ground rushes closer,

 

My options dwindle,

And the truth reveals itself.

#OctPoWriMo Day 2-Vulnerability

 

For Day 2 of the poetry challenge we are to write about being vulnerable or what makes us feel vulnerable using either Haiku or Lannet. Since I wrote a loose Kyrielle for Day 1 I thought I'd do Haiku today. Haikus are supposed be about nature/seasons but I used the form rather than the traditional definition. However, I did use a nature aspect to describe a verbal attack.

 

 

Fear

By Jessica Kay 

 

Toxic vapors spread-

The wound is open and bare

-My heart lies broken

Ill words rob the strong

-The serpent’s bite is deadly-

I die as he leaves.
