Of Darkness & Light

Poetry Reading | glorious


Listen Later

When I started writing poetry, about a year and a half ago, I would use rhyming cheat sheet websites when I got stuck. I won’t do that anymore and this was a brain stretcher and a half. Finding those rhymes of the same first-letter and no repeats was a challenge. I think I got it.

I find no matter how I fight to organize words, when I read them after the grind, they make way too much dirty sense. Sometimes, they need reorienting to make sense when I’m writing this whimsically.

glorious

a poem by Gwevera Nightingale

gentle goading grew girls' guise, glory got gains gripping guys

vicious volumes, vastest valleys, gripping gonads' grownup galleys
broken babes blew berried blues, back behind Beth's beckoned brews
Norman Never's naked nails, nipsied necking nightingales
plethoras plowed places plagued, pleasing private people; pegged
gems gored grapes — griped, gone green — glamorously grasping gleam
cauterized; cats craving crams, crow's cocoons caught crisping clams
sister soured, sought sin's side, slyly sipping something snide
helpers helped hate's honored horse — heaven's hopers hoped, heard hoarse
generations grew gay gamers, freaking, frighting, fickled framers
gravity groped genius, guising, groveled gents: get galvanizing

gentle goading grew girls’ guise, glory got gains gripping guys

vicious volumes, vastest valleys, griping gonads’ grownup galleys
broken babes blew berried blues, back behind Beth’s beckoned brews
Norman Never’s naked nails, nipsied necking nightingales
plethoras plowed places plagued, pleasing private people; pegged
gems gored grapes — griped, gone green — glamorously grasping gleam
cauterized; cats craving crams, crow’s cocoons caught crisping clams
sister soured, sought sin’s side, slyly sipping something snide
helpers helped hate’s honored horse — heaven’s hopers hoped, heard hoarse
generations grew gay gamers, freaking, frighting, fickled framers
gravity groped genius, guising, groveled gents: get galvanizing
