A Villanelle on Slavery

This was written in response to Shawna's writing prompt to use any of the following words in an original poem: blazon, senescent, rust, ticklish, savage, caracol, potpourri, kiwi, cure, eclipse and following Shawna's prompting, I'm linking to a site for poets-- dverse .  It's OpenLink Night!         A Villanelle on Slavery                   for Kiwi Her eyes "for hire" emblazoned too desperate (the cure eclipsed by need for bread, clean water, a place to sleep) no time to heal, beg virtue, for the rusted caracol leads her eyes "for hire" emblazoned too tired with hasty senescence.  And who knows the dreams her resolve bleeds for bread, clean water, a place to sleep?  The savage vanquishes true  desire; he lords, forcing with greed her eyes-- "for hire" emblazoned-- too sick with musky potpourri rue. Ticklish avarice, soul levied for bread, clean water, a place to be.  Denied dignity, jobs hew her beauty; sordid m

walking pneumonia, the boogie woogie flu, and widespread panic 3/8/12

PHYSICAL BACKGROUND   After being in bed with the flu almost a week and going on day 11 with no voice, I finally went to my primary care doctor yesterday.  And I have bronchitis.  He gave me a mega-dose steroid shot, along with antibiotic and oral steroids, and promised I'd be talking by today.  He asked if I had ever had any negative reaction to Prednisone and I replied, "No, well, actually I can't sleep much and feel a little crazy when I'm on it, but that's normal when taking those, right?"  It's the day my voice is to return, but no voice yet at only 6:24 AM which seems early except I have been awake since four! SPIRITUAL MINDSET  I'd just finished a fantastic morning Bible study from a book on the Psalms written by Kathleen Nielson (getting to hear her speak a couple of weeks ago one thousand gifts #53 ). My assignment for this morning is to read Psalm 37 and write down five observations.  Read it through several times, aloud at least one tim
