MiSkriBa 2024 - 09 / 04 - Od an Drogenter usi y'm Bonden (arta)

#MiSkriBa chaptra naw, hag ynno yma res a skrifa od a solempen tra bubdydhyek yn gis Pablo Neruda. Selyes yw ow bardhonek war hwarvos gwir a'n diwettha seythen... #NaPoWriMo chapter nine, in which we must write your own ode celebrating an everyday object in the style of Pablo Neruda. My poem comes from a real event from last week...


Od an Drogenter usi y'm Bonden (arta)


Krev os,

y hwonn,

ha konnyk,

konnykka agesov

awos ni dhe vetya

unweyth arta.


Pryv horn

os,

a gram

a vostedhes

amal an fordh,

kellys a'th tre

byttele

hwath omma,

ow tollhe

dhe wedhyn.


Ankor prenn

ha kestevyn

hag estyllennow,

ankor vy,

usi lemmyn

spernen

y'm paw.


Ha nyns eus logosen

dhe'm sawya.

Res yw dhymm

dha fetha

awos dha vos

rath,

a gni

war ow sens.


Mes

ty a'm herdh

rag mayth eneppiv

ow own

ha tevi dhe vos

ow gwella honan

yn park-kerri

karrji diskont

orth dha vosa

gen arghans

bysyel.


Mar grev avellos

mar wocki avellov

y hwonn

dha vos konnyk

hag y'th hwelvydhav

unweyth arta.

Ode to the Screw that’s in my Tyre (again)


You’re strong,

I know,

and cunning,

more cunning than I

as we meet

once again.


You

an iron worm,

that crawls

from the dirt

at the roadside,

lost from your home

however

still here,

burrowing

into rubber.


Anchoring wood

and concrete

and shelves,

anchoring me,

now as a

thorn

in my paw.


And there is no mouse

to save me.

I must

defeat you

for you are 

a rat,

gnawing

at my sanity.


But

you push me

so that I may face

my fears

and grow to be

my best self

in the car park

of a discount garage

feeding you

with digital

silver.


As strong as you are,

as foolhardy as I am

I know

you’re cunning

and I will see you

once again.

The third attempt at NaPoWriMo 2025 with the prompt of writing a poem that obliquely explains why you are a poet and not some other kind of artist. I'm not sure how oblique my attempt is, but I started writing at quarter to six this morning and finished after parents' evening at work, so... Deray My a gar "art". Pub eghen a "art". Pub blas yn kist tesennow "art". My a vynn gul "art", Avel peber "art". Mes py par? Ilewydh yw mester Gen gitar ha band Ow kana hag ow seni Kanow ha sonyow Rag delit an bys. Ottena "art" Ha my bardh.

Prompt an jydh hedhyw o chalenj dhe skrifa bardhonek a gows orth person yn tidro, ha henna yn unn gomprehendya ger gul, kehevelyans koynt, derivas a "fakt", ha neppyth a hevel yn-mes a'y le yn termyn (kepar ha kan Sonny & Cher yn bardhonek a-dro dhe vyth Grekek). Gen an bardhonek ma my a vynnas skrifa dhe Walt Whitman, prydydh a garav, yn unn wruthyl an ger 'mestron'  a 'mester' hag 'estron'. Remenans an bardhonek a yll kowsel rag y honan. #NaPoWriMo day two. Today's prompt was a challenge to write a poem that directly addresses someone, and that includes a made-up word, an odd/unusual simile, a statement of “fact,” and something that seems out of place in time (like a Sonny & Cher song in a poem about a Greek myth). With this poem I wanted to write to Walt Whitman, a poet I adore, creating the word 'mastranger' from 'master' and 'stranger'. The rest of the poem can speak for itself. Mestron ...
