Alphabe-Thursday: P is for It's Personal

Princess ponders her pea
such a puny, plucky thing
purchasing prestige through pain
procuring royal ring

Parson preaches from pulpit
pleas with piety
praying, pardoning, purging
peccabilities

Paramour provokes passion,
pleasure in lover’s embrace
promising perpetual affection
time pauses, hearts race

Pen belongs to poet
painting portraits with words
in polished, pleasing phrases
perceptively pondered

People, perhaps, are prey to "P"
personal, private and yet
P's pervasive,penetrating push
pierces psyche’s net

Alphabe-Thursday: The Letter P

Jenny Matlock

The Path

Preoccupied with Pain
Poetically Portrayed...
She Patiently Processed
Its Potent Possessive Power
Penetrating the Psyche.

A Perplexing Predicament to Ponder.
Will she fall, as Passive Prey,
to Predatory Patriarchal Patterns of the Past?

Or in Protest
Will she be Prompted to Probe
A Purposeful Path:
One of Prayer, Praising, Peace?

Paradise.
