Patience in Impatience and Impatience in Patience by Maria L. Berg 2023

This month each day’s study of contradictory abstract nouns has been synonyms of my personal Big Five contradictory abstract nouns. These last five days are the Big Five. Today I’m out to capture the patience in impatience and the impatience in patience. I reviewed its synonyms on the fifth: endurance and shortness; the tenth: hastiness and restraint; the fifteenth: disquietude and composure; the twentieth: resignation and rashness; and the twenty-fifth: sufferance and irritability.

2023 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 30

Today’s final prompt is to write a last night poem.

The MTB prompt at dVerse is to write a Cherita as a mirrored two part form of one, two, then three lines, and three, two, then one line stanzas.

This last night

hours slipping
from endings to beginnings

the twinkling stars
inviting frost
to coat the world in white

the deck sparkling
under my slippers
feels like an ice rink

what will the new day
bring once it has melted?

face the changes

Happy Reading and Writing!
