Day 27

Getting more difficult with each challenge (writing fatigue)


American sonnet


I. 

From prompts


Abstract object song


Fear prison spirit rider

Tiredness banister pale blue eye

Peace daughter Wichita linesman

Boredom feet would you like to swing on a star

Fear of missing out TV it's a sin

Displacement hedge in dreams

Revolution Blackbird Eurovision winner

Avoidance window bela lugosi's dead

Quiet thimble eye of the tiger

Democracy book saucerful of secrets

Homeland cushion the sun ain't gonna shine

Repetition candlestick Gymnopedie

Optimism floorboard gallows pole

Happiness daffodils gullsong


Ii

A scientist shows pictures of a planet where life might be; 'there are good bio markers on this waterworld, he says, ' it might change everything'. The show man laughs at 'Waterworld' and asks 'Have you seen the Kevin Costner film?. The scientist gives this some consideration, answers no

Rent free in my head, as young folk say, that robin hood song echoes, God, they never stopped playing it on radio - maybe on that distant world, it's broadcast still, unendingly, to unknown listeners.

They are poised to spatter  spies, under the trees and looking up They needle natter, announce News of the day, and fanfare latter echoes of bad angels , blessings curses all that patter. The Sky's seen better  through a milk blue eye

Day 30

 Legend  Day 30 Legend  Your Man, like Oisin, son of Fionn McCool, returned from exile from the isle to an age of priests and dying magic to a bleaker shore In the Puffin book of Irish myths and legends, this is the saddest and the last, the bowed man frail as coppiced trees, his youth falling like pale leaves And see him, forgetting himself and his youth, forgetting himself and wonder, the irresistible tide of the dividing sea, the long-stranded swimmer
