the opened window 
i sketch my mind to canvas
the colours of  sky

looking down on
blushing poinsettias cause
 it's December

when the lore of red
smothers even the sunsets
seeped of November

memories of leaves
tired of clinging trees so
they wing on the wind

waiting for the lid 
to open  breaths of freedom
once ignorance spent

suspended in time
of reflection some leave us
we mourn in deep sighs

pandemic night skies
inky dark thoughts surfacing
breath of life breathe on

A LADYBUG LEGEND
... As legend has it, in the Middle Ages, farmers were worried that their crops would be destroyed by insects, so they prayed to the Virgin Mary for help. Red and black beetles soon appeared to feast upon the bothersome insects and the people began calling the helpers "The Beetle of Our Lady." It is said that the beetles' red wings represent the red cloak Mary is often pictured wearing in biblical paintings, and the spots are representative of the seven joys and seven sorrows of the Virgin

I had no black
so i paint the hair yellow
self portrait
my granddaughter's masterpiece
and her candid narrative

a plate of french fries
why leave the excess ketchup
food of the Gods surely
the taste of only ketchup
I breath again innocence

flower petals float
in a bowl of water
pre covid days
this mild infusing of
fragrance and a child's joy

Poetics.Stars that count

Can you fasten the harness of the Pleiades, or untie Orion's bands?
(Job 38:31. Jerusalem Bible)

November is the month of the Pleiades reaching its highest spot in the sky on or around the 21st of the month. Also there are reports of Comet Erasumus having appeared this November  after 2500 years. 

Our challenge at Dverse to write a poem in the  Pleiades form

SENTINEL
Seven ladies giggled in the night 
Sisters, they watched the round moon
Silly girls of wastrel giggling glee
Snickering at what a big fat orb
Shy moon turned out to be
So they teased and laughed heartily
Still the moon guards our night
