#poetrybynona — Public Fediverse posts

I’ve had writers block the last few months. Actually I’ve had pretty much everything block. This is the first long form poem I’ve written in a while. It’s the first one I’ve put on my blog in over a year. Please give it a read. Please share it around. Please tell me what you think. I’m so tired of yelling into the void.

This poem was inspired by the Christina Rossetti poem “The Convent Threshold” and I encourage you to read that poem if you haven’t already and then mine.

The Plight of Christina's Woman
©️ Nona Rose 2011

Can you see the stairs before me,
Leading up to solemn stars
Clothed in midnight, coal, oily black
And staring back with that conviction
That's eating into my heart and soul
As only those pious and lofty ones can

Am I treading these boards alone,
My love, my darling, lovely, cherished love,
Whose arms enclose me as I sleep
And when I wake, take me in such tender embrace
That angels blush when they catch sight
And turn their heads for holy shame?

Rising Up
©️ Nona Rose 2011

Pretty pictures on the wall
Stare down at me in mute anticipation
They've been waiting for so long
It won't hurt to wait some more
There's no life in this room
The curtain's faded and carpet's worn
The wardrobe needs a paint
And there's no air to breathe
Someone shut the door long ago
Maybe it was me
And society is stuck outside

Love and Wishes
©️ Nona Rose 2023

I love my job.
But I wish the pay was better.

I love where I live.
But I wish it weren’t so expensive.

I love my friends.
But I wish they were more supportive.

I love my son.
But I wish I had more kids.

I love my mum.
But I wish she had her own life.

I love social media.
But I wish it provided more engagement.

I love writing.
But I wish it was easier to get published.

I love my crush.
But I wish he loved me back.

I love photography.
But I wish more people hired me.

I love my life.
But that doesn’t mean it’s perfect.

🌹

Days that Pass to Infinity
©️ Nona Rose 2014

One day, not yet but one day,
When it's probably too late,
I'll be honest, and you'll know
What you've always suspected.

Until that day I'll simply be
The dream half forgotten,
The forbidden always denied,
The wish never granted.

And every day that passes
Brings me closer to that day
When my heart stands still
And no breath escapes my lips.

🌹

I wrote this 9 years ago about a guy I had a crush on but who was (is) married. Sometimes we fall for people who are out of reach. Knowing that it’s not going to happen and accepting it are part of moving on because I would never put my temporary happiness before someone else’s marriage or relationship. In the end, that is not how I want to live my life. And it has meant saying no to a lot of offers, which comes with the territory of being a woman and being ethically non-monogamous. Funny how often people forget the ethical part of that.

Some people love their time in the military, others do not. I’ve known people in both camps. I know people who still serve. This won’t reflect everyone’s perspective, it’s just one perspective.

I wrote this just as before the summer of 2020/2021 in Australia. The summer before had been horrific and this was for all the firefighters (paid and volunteers) and those who lived through the bushfires defending homes, buildings, livestock and loved ones. This summer has been much milder but the fear of another like 2019/2020 hangs over everyone, especially those who live close to fire prone areas.

If you have a moment, please read the full poem.

Day 24 of #ArtAdventCalendar. It wouldn’t be Australia without a spider reference so, as an averred arachnophobe, this is as close as I’ll get - the empty web!

The poem is “A Letter to Myself” and I hope it resonates with you.

Day 23 of #ArtAdventCalendar is a recent shot, literally taken a couple of days ago. I love my city, I just wish it wasn’t filled with people when I want to take photos 😂

The poem is “Requiem for a Society” and while I haven’t put a #ContentWarning on this post as a whole, I will suggest a CW for the poem as it deals with mental health (I’ve struggled with whether to say exactly what the issue is because I don’t want to ruin the end but I don’t want to upset anyone either). Maybe send me a private toot if you’re unsure about whether you want to read it.
https://nonas-poetry-corner.blogspot.com/2011/02/requiem-for-society.html?m=1

As always, let me know what you think, or what you’d like to see/read in the future.

Day 22 of #ArtAdventCalendar is this iconic Sydney feature - the coat hanger is a beautiful old girl.

The poem is “a slow rain” for anyone who doesn’t live in the big smoke.
https://nonas-poetry-corner.blogspot.com/2020/12/a-slow-rain.html?m=1

Tell me about the duality of where you live!

It’s nearly the end of #ArtAdventCalendar, we’re up to Day 21: sunrise reflections.

The poem: Sonnet Redoublé (in name and in style) - this is where you write connected sonnets, and the final sonnet is made up of the starting lines of all the previous sonnets.
https://nonas-poetry-corner.blogspot.com/2020/12/sonnet-redouble.html?m=1

Let me know what you think (if I keep asking maybe someone will 🤷🏼‍♀️).

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 20: Eroded.

And the poem: Rugged.
https://nonas-poetry-corner.blogspot.com/2020/12/rugged.html?m=1

Bit of a theme, maybe. Let me know what you think. Or don’t. It’s up to you.

Can’t believe we’re up to Day 19 of the #ArtAdventCalendar … so here’s a cool shell.

The poem for today is entitled “My Birthday” …now, it’s not my birthday yet, you’ve got just over 2 weeks for that, but something to keep in mind 😂😊🥳

Day 18 of #ArtAdventCalendar and I had a request for birds so happy to oblige. I definitely don’t get enough practice at capturing birds in flight but one day I hope to be even half as good as @Carlbovis because his are fantastic (and if you don’t follow him already you should get on that).

The poem is about food, and a friend likened it to Dr Seuss but I’m not sure it’s that good.

Day 17 of #ArtAdventCalendar and you all seemed to like the sunrise shot, so here’s another.

The poem for today is “an atheist on sacred ground.”

Day 16 of #ArtAdventCalendar 🎉🎄
We’re 2/3s of the way there so please enjoy this sunrise shot to warm your day, especially those of you who are heading into a chilly snow-bound Christmas.

Today the poem is “ornithoptera alexandrae” or Queen Alexander’s Birdwing Butterfly (apologies for the misspelling in the link).

Day 15 of the #ArtAdventCalendar is here: these are the natural colours of these plants. Sometimes I feel like the yellow flowers, sometimes I feel like the grey leaves. Today is a grey leaves day.

The poem for today is entitled “Today” and is about decisions, which I am feeling very much.

As always, asking you to not only favourite and boost, but let me know what it was you liked because the void might be vast but it is also silent.

Bit late in the day here in Oz but just managing to sneak in Day 14 of the #ArtAdventCalendar!

I love sports photography because of shots like this. It is a moment in time captured forever. I think this shot is more powerful than a video of the same play would be.

The poem I’ve chose is related. It’s called “Dragons in the Outfield” and was written based on my experience as a softball mum, a sports coach and an elite athlete.

Day 13 of #ArtAdventCalendar is upon us. It’s summer down under, so here’s a wave pic. My aim this year is to get better at this type of photography.

The poem I’ve chosen is “Across the Road at Number 12” and it is a homage to my love and support for the queer community in the form of a story of sorts.

As always, would love to know what you think. I’m not above begging. I really do want to know.

Day 12 of #ArtAdventCalendar is here and I’d love to hear what you think about the image/s or poem.

The poem is called “Her Fabrics” and I hope that any of the crafty people (and anyone who knows someone crafty) will see something in it.

Day 11 of #ArtAdventCalendar is here! Let me know what you think of the image and/or the poem because I love seeing your feedback.

Todays picture is my best selling canvas. The first one I sold was to a friend of mine who wanted a piece that reminded her of our local beach when she moved to another state.

Todays poem is a trip down memory lane to a childhood game many of you would have played.

And then I have my personal ones so I can look up my previous toots in case I need to share it and to make sure I don’t repeat too often.

It’s time for another #ArtAdventCalendar toot! Honestly, this is one of my favourite things to do on social media at the moment. Even if you’re not an artist, you can get involved by boosting and commenting on your favourite pieces, whatever form they take.

Another photo from my travels pre-Covid, this time to London. I loved travelling in England! One day I’ll get back there to do the bits I missed, and to see the rest of the UK and Ireland.

My poem for today is “Fools” and is about being less materialistic.

Your thoughts are always welcome. Don’t be shy. I don’t bite. Well, not unless you ask nicely first.

Day 8 of #ArtAdventCalendar 🥰

Of all the places I've seen when I travel, Cape Town (and specifically around Camps Bay) felt the most like home: the atmosphere of the town and the climate all reminded me of my little corner of the world. If it weren't so far away I could see myself returning here often.

The poem for today is Peculiar and, even though I wrote it over a year ago, it still rings true for how I feel about myself.

As always, I’d love to know what you think about the photo or poem. Favouriting and boosting are great (please keep doing that) but commenting let’s me sneak inside your brain for a moment to discover why you liked it.
