in quadrille Tags: cobblestone, dignity, dinner, indigo, old man, seaside, village
old man wanders
cobblestone streets
of seaside village in
Ceredigion county
(though he’s not
indigenous welsh)
his pedigree and
dignity are both
wrapped warmly
in indigo cardigan
as he digresses
from one quaint
little shop to another
in search of dinner
worthy of digestion.

A fun little quadrille for dVerse using some form of the word “dig” (used nine times, including title).

in rhyming verse, tercet Tags: breath, death, dignity, justice, violence, virus
twenty-twenty’s canceled year
contagious virus threatens death
people hiding at home in fear
victim fights for final breath
under law officer’s cruel knee
“racism!” claimed as shibboleth
martyr suspect held up to be
reason for more murder and mayhem
lady justice still cries to be free
every violence we must condemn
learn to listen before we speak
protect dignity of all shades of men

Frank challenges us to write verse in triplets (tercets) at dVerse today. I used ABA BCB CDC rhyme scheme for my current events poem. Pray for America!
