In a small corner I curl
turning pages, I am lost to imagination
oblivious to time passing
minutes meld to hours
And this time is mine
Absorbing words from far away minds
Caught in that beautiful moment
when words caress my soul
with a comfort wholly realised

Yes, this eloquence is precious
not for squandering or for waste
Revered as a diamond
with immeasurable value

As a poet I’ve a keen interest in differing poetic form and syntax from around the world. From the Philippines then comes ‘Dalit’ – four non-rhyming lines of eight syllables , 32 in total. Jemverse features four examples this week – three days ago, the day before yesterday, yesterday and today.

Though fleeting with some beauty
precious is this captured moment
My soliloquy for the day
to seize and hold onto and keep

Though dawn has yet to break a thought
surfaces and must be spoken
Repeated here lest I forget
and squander this moment again

From the Philippines I derive
Dalit is my name; short my form
Four lines in typicality
Each comprising eight syllables

I’m down to the last few pages
in this little book of mine
It’s done me proud since April
which is really quite a long time
And over two hundred poems
written and drafted in here
some over several pages
when their syntax wasn’t that clear
It’ll last me proud through December
but then at the end of the year
I’ll find another to carry me through
which I know will bring me some cheer
‘Cos I have to keep on writing
for that is a matter of fact
and a book which I carry wherever I go
will act as an outlet for that

How many words written
goodness only knows
It must be in the millions
with the poems and the prose
that all these years I’ve written
ever since I was a lad
Some words to cover sadness
but most to cover ‘glad’
How many words I’ve written?
I’ve really no idea
although it has been said before
I’ve ‘verbal diarrhoea’
But this is something that I do
so I don’t really care
‘Cos I’m not stopping writing
as there’s lots more life to share
