Val has set a challenge of poetry
most formats are totally absurd
waste of time and my word-worth
wondering if any of this has worth
these convoluted twists of poetry
I must laugh aloud it’s so absurd
it ties my mind in knots so absurd
the terms difficult, has it any worth
a testament to most bizarre poetry
so what is this absurd poetry worth?
Val from Murisposis has challenged us with ASH – August Scavenger Hunt
this is #7 write a Tritina with a touch of whimsy or nonsense.
Jackson Pollock … no idea how it got in amongst my pics

It seems you are frustrated with the restraints of form! I haven’t written any formal poetry for a long time – I put it down to exhaustion…

maybe ease off a bit Ingrid … you’ve done so much with the anthology, d’Verse, parenting, pandemic … might be time for some ‘you’ time 🙂
Not frustrated in the least, I’m enjoying this rollicking challenge heaps 🙂

I am with you on this one Kate. Form without meaning is meaningless… Like a skeleton blowing in the wind! Well done.
