1.
Summer has said goodbye,
Long gone sunshine,
My eyes squint, leaves fall
Until my love awakes.
2.
Candy sweets, large or small,
I like them big;
Full size, big beauties they’re called.
Dirty, messy mouth. I like it.
3.
Mask, worn to hide,
Ring the bell, wait for the prize.
Little goblins, rugrats, ankle biters, all of them
Pose for a picture.
4.
Will the snow come early?
I wear my new shoes.
Getting dirty? So am I!
Come on! The rain won’t melt you.
5.
I long for the days of fall,
To not trip me with masks of monsters.
Big breasts, big heart, big hips: my love
Left with the snows of winter and froze my heart.
This is for a dVerse prompt: To write a Cadralor.
The Cadralor is a hybridised name from the 2 inventors, Lori Howe and Christopher Cadra
Poetry Style
- 5 numbered stanzas
- choose 3-10 lines per stanza (but keep same chosen stanza length throughout)
- each stanza stands alone as an imagist poem (just the obliquest of connections)
- 5th stanza pulls the 4 unrelated stanzas together into a poem of love, of yearning
- rhymes and syllabic meter are NOT wanted
