Tortured Journey by Donna M. Monnig (NaPoWriMo)
Tortured JourneyNo one knows the clandestine yearnings of my soul,The weight of an albatross, takes a heavy toll. Duplicitous or righteous nature, I know not which,Machiavellian or altruistic, change like a mercurial switch. An elegy perhaps for who I was, … Continue reading

Flameless Candle by Donna M. Monnig (NaPoWriMo)

Allow Me to Alliterate I would like to alliterate on that which could obliterate,the sound my conscience doesassonance. There is no mind,quite like mine, when it comesto explication of explanation,in frustration and infuriation,but assonance is not dissonance,and therefore, unlike a … Continue reading

A Perfect Day by Donna M. Monnig (NaPoWriMo)
A Perfect DaySitting in the castle window,breezes flowing like a melody,Book, half open on my lap,notebook open under my pen,letting the stories escape at last,out of my mind and onto page.Places I can only dream come alive in swirls of … Continue reading

The New Nevermore by Donna M. Monnig (NaPoWriMo)
The New NevermoreGhastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore—It came from out the dark and dreary night beyond my door. It came, it came from out of nowhere, from whence I know not,it flew out of shadow … Continue reading

Oh to Be a Dragon by Donna M. Monnig (NaPoWriMo)
Oh to Be a DragonSkin like iron, a steely hide,broad, thick neck, eyes set wide,talons sharp, upon my fingers,deepest voice, carries, lingers.Untold wisdom, in my mind,inner peace that few can find. Sturdy shoulders to handle weight,Strength to conquer any fate. … Continue reading
