Cosmos Cinquains, d’verse challenge….

cosmos

To D’verse and other poetry sites that post my poetry:  Just got this email from “Jingle”.

“not sure what you mean, we post and repost lots of stuff, information sharing.

when you post on wordpress or blogger, you do not have to pay and ask permission in person.

which is what we count for.

maybe one of your fellow posted your stuff, will not publish formally in books.”

Of course she would do this, trying to throw blame on others…but she’s a known liar so it doesn’t stick.  Beware of Jingle, bluebird books, etc…because apparently these sites are all run by the same thief.  I notice that she is avoiding the real complaint, that she took an already published poem of mine and ‘rewrote’ it.  Made it garbage because she is still a thief and no poet.

Jane

 

 

Universe=

Infinite space!

Distance to distance

Overwhelming all the senses

Forever.

 

Virgo

Chained sweet maiden

Like Andromeda there

Infinite patience is her fate

Virgin.

 

Orion

Hunter’s stealth

Steals earth’s orbit

Canis Major barking loudly

Sirius.

 

Aries

Orion’s ram

Joins the hunter gladly

Orbits across the nighttime sky

Pursues!

 

Emptiness!

Vast galaxies!

Filled with stars

Still distance looms unending

Void.

 

Hunter

Orion’s quest

Emotion burning fire!

Chases Virgo through the Heavens

Captures!

 

Gravity

Heaviness bounded

Pulls both downwards

Sagittarius the Archer wounds

Falling.

 

Embrace

Luminous skin

Orion unsheathes cock

Virgo bleeds upon Hunter’s sword

Conquered.

 

 

Exploding

Supernova upward

Orion’s pleasure expanded

Virgo wilts, hymen pierced

Violated.

 

Black Hole

Emotion’s fire

Pleasure burned out quickly

Hurling Virgo into vastness

Disdained!

    I love how you brought us into an adventure through space. Also how my thought associates with the last words to the next, like a thin thread of a necklace…

    I love the way you have explored the violence of the universe with your cosmos cinquains, Jane. I felt bad for poor Virgo, especially in the final two stanzas. When we look up at the stars it all appears to be so peaceful – how wrong!

    I like the breathless pace of the chase and the constellations consummating sending galaxies spinning through the void.
