  1. Mother’s Day, or: Jerusalem for generations

    A ‘Dectina Refrain’

    home
    once more
    with loved ones
    this Mother’s Day
    Baka night jasmine
    the shuk loud and busy
    old stones absorbing the sun
    windmill turning through the twilight
    Jerusalem for generations
    home once more with loved ones this Mother’s Day

    W3 poetry prompt

    For this week’s W3, Dawn encourages us to compose mother-themed dectina refrains.

    Let’s write poetry together!

    When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

    Ben Harper (b. 1969)
