Fateful Feeling – 11th February 2026

parenthesis

spring approves wholly
lady, my flowers, blood kisses
will to wisdom, a life a fool pays

swear by syntax
this fate of paragraph


for my world pays
better never feeling the things

first is
blood kisses, my lady, flowers
death approves wholly

parenthesis

Shared with dVerse Quadrille #241 – flowers. A poem formed only using words from e.e. cummings ‘since feeling is first’.


Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

Hero Or Nero?

The king attends to honour and health
While the tyrant overindulges their wealth
Can you counter the many temptations
That gather to trouble your foundations?
