NaPoWriMo 2020, Day 28, Not Circling Back

Photo by Laura Hood

Not circling back

Not
an ancient
mystical arrangement, just

stones
leftover from
the coastal defences.

We
always said
spaces become sacred

when
used for
a sacred purpose.

Gathered
Saturday closest
to the sabbat

Six
Seasonal turnings
of the wheel.

Goddess
teaches us
everything is transitional.

Throwing
Rob’s ashes
wind lashing, hurling

them
back in
our faces, up

our
sleeves.  Knowing
that this cycle,

terminated
here, surrendering
to that peace.

NaPoWriMo 2020 Day 12: Gratitude Grounds Us

Gratitude Grounds Us

Gratitude grounds us in times like these.
It's true I've much to be thankful for.
We isolate to protect from this disease.
Gratitude grounds us in times like these.
I garden, see more butterflies and bees.
Others take an hours walk outdoors.
Gratitude grounds us in times like these.
It's true I've much to be thankful for.

Today's prompt was to write a triolet an eight line poem, but with five original lines, and some repeated lines, giving the triolet a rhyming scheme ABaAabAB, where capital letters indicate repeated lines.
