The People’s Republic of Helena – A Kickstarter Manifesto

I was lucky enough to be asked to take part in the grand reveal of our favourite dilettante’s new book cover design – so I am showing my commitment to her cause and reblogging the next part of her venture into the world of publishing. Good luck, Helena – I’ll be purchasing! 🙂

Return me to a gentle land
Gather me in, take my hand
Restore my mind to calmer days
Remove the scene that still replays
over and over, jamming my head
Bring me serenity, a constant thread
of restoration, courage anew
Let me forge ahead, source my strength from you
Know that with each breath and every pace
I take you with me, see your face
Hear your laughter, envisage your smile
Yes, we are parted, but just for a while
Life is but a moment, a wrinkle, a sigh
This is only adieu, Dad, not forever goodbye.

Because time passes, pain eases, gratitude settles in and new dawns are always possible. Amazingly, I wrote this poem before reading Grace’s introduction at Open Link Night – and yet it just seems to fit. I have so much for which to be grateful.

Please do visit the dVerse Open Link Night for examples of some very fine poetry indeed – and be inspired… Join us!

Hmmm…

“There was a young lady called Dahlia

Who loved to drink sangria…”

No, that’s not going to work. I’ll just have a sip to get me in the mood… Right…

“There was a dame called Sandria

Who loved to quaff sangria…”

No, that doesn’t sound any good either! I need more liquid inspiration… Mmm, lovely! Right, let’s try…

“There was a young girl called Virginia

Who enjoyed a drop of sangria…”

For heaven’s sake! Thish poeming lark ish more clompi-, compil… harder than I thought!

“Maria! Maria! Where are you? Have you drunk all the sangria?”

Zzzz…. Zzzz…. Zzzz….
