She is rum
-bled by this whisky sky,
the way the earth is shaken
by storm, the tumbled blur
of clouds. Call her vesper,
evening star
skydragon waiting;
wayward one,
kamikaze sun.

Yay… love this… I will definitely call her kamikaze sun… most definitely.
And it does it every day! That sun never learns. I love the skydragon waiting.
this is lovely De 🙂
Nice view of Venus which I assume the “evening star” refers to. I can also see her likened to a “skydragon” or “kamikaze sun”.
Smarty pants. 🙂 Thanks for getting me, Frank.
Nice nod to Venus as Valentines gather in the wings. You had me too at /skydragon/. Sorry that my piece exceeds 33 words; smile.
Glenn, you read that rule absolutely correctly. It is only for those who choose NOT to include any bar phraseology. 😉
I miss Trifecta. 😦
Me, toooooo! SO much! Obviously, the 33 was a nod to them. I LOVED that site.
I love our Quadrille, which kind of fills the void for me. But I still miss Trifecta. Sometimes I just go back and read some of the ones I wrote for them. Something about that word count, and the prompts they gave, just helped a poem pack a real punch.
Oh I absolutely love this!! Especially the term “Whiskey sky”…. sigh ❤️
Excellent … whisky sky … kamikaze sun … great lines 🙂
I too like the whiskey sky, and Vesper was a Bond girl…
Love the whole thing…particularly that she is Rum and the wayward one…nice circle there.
I love the way these lines sound together:
“skydragon waiting;
wayward one”
LOVE the title….and the placement of words in the first two lines. Ending with the kamikaze sun — brilliant! 🙂
Rum-bled and tumbled…and haven’t I seen skydragon appear before? Love sky watching through your poems!
Yes, that sneaky skydragon makes quite a few appearances around here. 😉
Powerful images. The poem has a punch.
Mmmmm…{puts rum in that punch}
I thought you would :))
I love the 33 word count. Sorry I went over. I love this twisty turny kamikaze sun poem. Oh, how that sun loves to plunge into the horizon. thank you for this wonderful prompt.
No need for a word count limit, Toni. That rule was only for those who didn’t find any inspiration in the words/phrases. 😉
Great poem and play of words. 🙂
It appears we were both viewing that whiskey sky…I have to like anything with a dragon 🙂
Kamikaze sun! Love this, De.
I love those tumbled clouds. It’s short and lovely, like a well made martini.
Pretty! Uncomplicated (like mine);)
kamikaze sun.
The Sun that ensures life on earth had better not go on a kamikaze spree or we are all done for too!
Hank

Love your description of Venus. She is a lady-in-waiting and will be tonic to winter-weary eyes. The cloudy skies have hidden her brightness for many moons in my neck of the woods.
kamikaze sun….wow!!!
love your little poem.
Ooh, gives me those good shivers.
I like how evocative this description is.
