Dismembered
In the dust under the frozen
Sky where sun should be, and
Warmth, the sirens are outwailed
By the mourning voices screaming
Songs of sadness and death,
Of loss and dying, never seeing
The faces most loved again.
Under cover of the molten rocks
Of what were houses, bodies
Move from hand to hand over
The heads of these singers, notes
As clear as the night. This is
The #lament for the dismembered:
Limbs, families, people, lands,
And a world ripped apart.

we both never deplored

Many a patriarch wails
about tempestuous ways feminists

The #MastoPrompt for 16 March, 2025 is: #lament #MrWhiskers
Mother once again had the new orange cat in a head lock. Her ears were a mess and she let out a lamenting wail as Mother dosed her ears with goop for the third day in a row. Mr.Whiskers retreated under the bed until the torture was over. Mother seemed to like assaulting the new cat with many things. Mr. Whiskers felt very lucky that he wasn't the center of his mothers attention right now. Hmmm. What could he possibly get away with?
The #MastoPrompt for Sunday 16 March 2025 is:
The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.
@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.
If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you’re able to.
Today's poem:
Stanzas Written in Dejection, near Naples
- by Percy Bysshe Shelley
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?

What’s astonishing is that a war that was embarked on so willingly, with so much unanimity, and with so much excitement could be later remembered as a story of pure #victimhood
Yet before the war was even fully over, Constantin #Zureiq published a passionate #lament of the #Arab failure to defeat #Israel, The Meaning of the Disaster [#Nakba], giving birth to the word that would be used from as a shorthand for the traumatic #Arab defeat in that war.
Your occasional haiku.
This year's mourning doves
perched on last year's robin's nest—
this morning's lament.
"He and I watched the foxgloves grow through the clearcut, where a forest once grew high and wild. For what is a funeral without flowers? And 10,000 tombstones reaching for the sky."
