Poets United Midweek Motif ~ Half Year ~

-
half year roses half year love
half year waiting for miracles
from the Heavens above

half year moves from Spring
to summers scorching heat
water scarce swollen feet

half way is the year ending
closing accounts in banking
no mon or fun no thanking'

Nature always makes perfect
nothing half hearted a purpose 
or never would have started

why do we say six is half way
or 12 is full soft and benign
For Nature's full circle is at nine 

yet all things have a half and full
all must keep the time to pull
calculations are Bears and  Bull

half the year may be good and bright 
half dark and tragic without much respite
if one half is heavy the other will be light'

hey there is balance in half light and half dark...think at times we would rather it be all light...but everything has its season...and that is part of the rhythm....

I love the hope in that closing line - "if one half is heavy the other will be light." May it be so! I love the halves described here......may the second half be even more wonderful!

I'm glad you included the end of the fiscal year along with the more poetic half way marks and hopes. Swollen feet reminds me that for some the heat is worse than cold, dry is worse than rain--and for some the other way is true. I will have to look up nine and bears and bull--but I get the sense that however we slice it, we are subject to both dark and light. A fine truth beautifully exposed.

The basic numbers are from 0-9 - see on the keyboard on the phone pad-any where- then the circle begins again 1+0= 10 ...1+1=11 and so on

I love the flow in this piece..really no numbers can make sense of the world..it just keeps us in 'check'..or tries to! I like how carefree this reads..

Thank you Jae sometimes simple aspects of life should be taken as they come-we human beings tend to mix up things and complicate them

For POETS UNITED Midweek Motif ~ Summer Solstice ~ The Earth Stands Still ~

The Earth stands still while we say tis the Sun up all day, shining stronger getting hotter come what may, who  can put a shade across tis not a car that you drive in  so you can cover the windscreen and block the heat- how days become long and nights become short,when the heart is heavy and grief is strong,when blood spills spurts spreads and flows,strange power shows,slows time dragging it to a still point,Earth seems stilled- as is the breath of a loved one,who feels the heat or cold when guns are sold to all,the license to shoot and kill is handed as protection,who is protecting who is killing?  acceptance and non-acceptance is in the inner will' Unreal cities,unreal people, so unlike what we expect War war and again war-when will it end,terror strikes Shelter is scarce, fashion abounds and all is a show off!  young dead glorified on the mini screen,dying for respect for what now? half the barren land, minerals in rang...
