SHE MONSTICHS

Michael Edwards

 

 

SHE MONOSTICHS

 

She watched as landless men passed by with strident gait on paths of stone.

 

She left the window open wide and heard the door bell ringing.

 

She never took any shit; she had enough already.

 

She wished to engage but her tongue knew no freedom.

    I've just about run out with about only three poems not yet posted - at the moment I'm spending all my spare time preparing paintings for display and an art demonstration plus just a couple of commissions which will take a while so hanging in on MPS by my finger tips - perhaps I should have posted these one at a time. Thanks for your comments Santita - I think No3 is my favourite - it makes me smile whenever I read it.

    Yes, fine mono-wotsits Michael! Did any in No.3 hit the fan?!

    • Michael Edwards

      They splatterified everywhere . Thanks Orchi

      Some days I don't write any poems at all. Do I cheat? I may write 1, 2 or 3 on other days! I don't of it on purpose to keep up a backlog, it's just how things go with my inspiration.

      "SHE may be the Beauty or the Beast
      The Famine or the Feast
      The chill that Autumn brings
      A Hundred different things
      SHE ~ I love them ALL 1

      Thanks MICHEAL for reminding us !
      Please check LOVE IS (CHRISTINA & BRIAN)
      Please add an ODD ODE to the CLOTHING FUSION (S & B)
      Thanks ~ Yours BRIAN

      Good write, the final one is my favourite.

    • Fay Slimm.

      I know a few who suffer the same affliction as those in the final line Michael - - I learned a new word too today. Good read.

      • Michael Edwards

        Yes - not uncommon - thanks Fay

        A plot in every one of them.... oh ye of multi talents.... only 24 hours in a day and a siteful of hungry poets to feed..... put those brushes down.

        • Michael Edwards

          Sort of sweep them under the carpet so to speak? Thanks dusk.

          # 3 cracks me up , I have enough already too , Good work Michael

          • Michael Edwards

            Thanks Bill - the laughter in the sandwich !!

          • malubotelho

            Nice ones. I like better the second and the third.

            • Michael Edwards

              Thanks Malu - looks like No3 wins the betting.

            • FredPeyer

              No 3 is definitely the best, but no 2 is good too, leaves a lot to the imagination, then no 4 and finally no 1
              But then, who am I to judge!
              Great monostichs, all of them! (Had to look up the word too)

              • Michael Edwards

                Thanks Fred- Instinctively I expected monostichs to have a 'e' before the 's; but apparently not.

              • MendedFences27

                The "She" in #4 is the girl for me. Lots of fun in your Monostichs, which "Spellcheck," won't recognize as a word. Learning new stuff every day.

                Loved both. -Phil A.
