Autumn stupor

Posted on October 11, 2016 By adcitlali

Drowsed by golden leaves, Amelia  rests  at  her  balcony. Her thoughts blink purple and red, under a Monetian sunset. Amelia wonders about the passion contained in clouds. A secret desire?

Posted on September 17, 2015 By adcitlali

Just in the last month, Amelia has:       1) Randomly silenced her phone       2) Hid five times from her diary       3) Walked on eggshells around her own thoughts       4) Slept ten nights with her head under the pillow       5) Snoozed six rounds for  at least  seven mornings Amelia is now charged…

Again?

Posted on June 9, 2015 By adcitlali

Amelia called her cat; got no answer –an answer. Amelia twisted her dream; got nowhere –somewhere. Amelia followed a hope; got no reality –so real! Amelia rests and starts –again? _____Adriana Citlali VIII-VI-MMXV IX-VI-MMXV Prime verses Structure: 9-7-9-5 words per verse
