Kintsugi Poets Society Blog Hop: Wrap up

Well, it's been a fabulous week, full of terrific poetry  and I hope everyone enjoyed the introduction to the Kintsugi Poets Society.  I'd like to thank all my fellow Kintsugi poets for their wonderful words, with special thanks to Kim Koning who envisioned this new society.

Now on to the contest winner.

The name pulled out the proverbial hat, from the entries provided by Rafflecopter is... (drumroll please):  Ash Krafton

Congratulations Ash.  I've sent you the Smashwords coupon code for your free book.

And here's a little taste of what you can find in Reflections of Poetry:

Desolation

The sky is raining ash,

your umbrella black with stain.

Rain and tears will not splash,

the sky is raining ash.

You exhale, surrender, crash.

Drifting far away, alone, in pain.

The sky is raining ash,

your umbrella black with stain.

And be sure to visit the Kintsugi Poets Society often to keep track of all the wonderful poets there and our ongoing dark adventures.

Kintsugi Blog Hop: Final Night

We bow, for my last new poem of the Kintsugi Poets Society Blog Hop...

Final Night

Darkness falls

as the world spins

across the universe

an organic cog

in a biological

machine

Stars and suns

sputter, spent

Darkness falls

like a thick curtain

on the inevitability

Come back tomorrow for the contest winners and an excerpt from Reflections of Poetry.

We say farewell for now, but see you soon over at:

Kintsugi Blog Hop: Shades and Reflection

Time to reflect on this, Day Six of the blog hop...

Shades and Reflection

I looked into the heart

of the black night.

What did I find?

An image, distorted

in a gilded mirror.

An image desolate,

of me.

Kintsugi Blog Hop: Cimmerian

Time to submerge yourself in Day Five...

Cimmerian

In the stygian waters you descend

drowning, dying with every surge

far underneath, fighting to emerge

In the stygian waters you descend

Drowning, dying with every surge

of breath, lost to expanding tide

your nebulous, inky fate implied

drowning, dying with every surge

Of breath, lost to expanding tide

trapped with your voiceless screams

riding the swell of broken streams

of breath, lost to expanding tide

Trapped with your voiceless screams

Into the stygian waters you descend

Shut your eyes, persisting to pretend

Trapped with your voiceless screams

Into the stygian waters you descend

drowning, dying with every surge

far underneath, fighting to emerge

Into the stygian waters you descend

Now on to the main site for the Kintsugi Poets Society

Kintsugi Blog Hop: Insignificant

Welcome to Day Four, unfurl the sails...

Insignificant

A solitary tear passing

over his weathered skin

swallowed by opaque fog,

as sails catch the wind

with the shadow's moon

Kintsugi Blog Hop: Living in Shadows

Day Three of the Blog Hop...

Living in Shadows

enveloped in familiar darkness,

adrift in this absence of light

no hope

an emotional deprivation

shredded senses overload

on empty

negative contact, a void

black, bitter, indifferent

and alone

Kintsugi Blog Hop: Once Upon a Time

Let the poetry begin for the Kintsugi Poets Society Blog Hop...

Once Upon a Time

A flurry of frosty air blusters

across the well-trodden woodland

A vestige of murky mist, twisting

around the ever changing wind

Come it cries,

come walk the dark path

Dance with shadows

And something smiles

inside those shadows

A faceless wicked, woven

in whispers, in corners of time

softly tempting, in our desires

on the edges of our nightmares

Come closer, it beckons,

come play on the dark path

Be swallowed by the shadows

We want you to stay

Welcome to the Kintsugi Poets Society Blog Hop!

Kintsugi Poets Society Blog Hop

Welcome to the blog hop for the launch of the Kintsugi Poets Society!

Where poets plumb the depths of the black and bleak to extract the shadowy beauty within. For the next week you will be treated to the somber side of poetry, sent on a journey into the lyrical, dusky mists to emerge on the other side of the enigmatic darkness...

...unchanged or transformed?
Only time will tell.

"Turning dark cracks & broken fragments into golden seams of poetry."

Our theme for this hop is: Darkness

Eventide

Night cascades, alive

Its shrouded obscurity

of sunless splendour

~

Join us for the next week in this veritable fest of poetry, as we, Kintsugi members, post our creative musings on our blogs and on the main site for the Kintsugi Poets Society: http://kintsugiart.wordpress.com/

And be sure to come back each day for a new poem from me, and head over to the Kintsugi Poets Society for details on all the other wonderful poets taking part.

And as an extra bonus in honour of the launch, I'm running a contest.
The prize is a free copy of Reflections of Poetry from Smashwords.
