30 in 30 Companion Thread

[Remec]

Welcome back, Remec! Nice lunes.

Glad to be back

I was going to come in on Friday, but figured people might not take it as a serious start considering the nature of the first.

 

[butters]

Good try butters.

It is hard some days. I'll usually revert to haiku, senyru or monoku at that point. And yes there is some good stuff being produced by all the participants.

started twice this time around, so probably got nearly 30 in but not together, plus as i said they were deteriorating fast. thanks

We'll miss your poems, butters.


Welcome back, Remec! Nice lunes.

i'll still be here, just not there ty!

Aw, butters. The 30/30 torture chamber awaits you.

i'll be back #schwarzenegger robo voice

not sure if it's the start of a dialogue but your lunes seem to speak to each other

but of course could just be my mind imposing order on unconnected events

As with more traditional Japanese forms and American sentences, I do have a tendency to use posts by others within the thread as inspiration (or, occasionally, fodder) for similar pieces.

Ah, yes, I can understand the concern there.

Which Lunes are you referring to?

dropped the ball again on a day i was feeling rough, but looking back i've decided not to restart again at the moment. everything was degenerating down to a couple of images and rhyming - not my better attempts at writing. so, for now, i'm putting in comments as and when i've time, and writing when something really bites me rather than putting anything out there for the sake of it.

y'all are doing jus' fine, though, and it's a genuine pleasure to read what you're producing

Well, Sola, I understand completely. My late posting made me feel so guilty and when I tried to step up to the mark again, I couldn't find the heart, plus a RL booty call took me out on Friday. <sigh> Perhaps later... Perhaps. lol

Any poems with which you grace this forum are appreciated and usually well-loved. We can wait for when the next ones are ready.

I may have noticed that once or twice in your last run.

Thank you Harry

Tod, Calli and I all started on the same day. Just two more and I'll be done with my 5th 30, 3rd one since December because I've lost my f-ing mind apparently.

Thank you, Calli - I hope to make it to the end this time.

Surely you didn't mean me, right? *looks around, enbarrassed* I started a couple of times before and flunked out.

Sonoran Quietude

The desert speaks with buzzing flies
or some other insect I can't name,
lamenting mates.

Or is it wind through creosote,
and gentle moans of ocotillo flute?
A limitless palette of sight and sound,
as restful shade hides in the burning rocks.

I came to rest, and rest I did.
I wish the gentle quiet will pervade,
invade my bones and stay with me.

That second stanza is killer, elegant and direct. The metaphor of shade hiding in the rocks really works.

 

[HarryHill]

Always Hungry we don't post comments on the 30/30 redux; they go here, thought at first you started, thought wow

I moved your post here to the 30/30 companion thread. The main thread is poems only. We all forget sometimes.

Mea culpa. I am new to the 30/30 biz. I was stalking Mer.

I agree it's a striking poem; really evocative.
