I Don’t Feel Like Celebrating

A tanka series of convergence of life and death

My prompsponsive response to Lori’s (Ravyne Hawke) “Moody Monday” prompt “to write a ‘moody’ piece around any of the following:

Follow the rainbow — Where does it lead? — a joyful noise — lost in the land of the Fae”

I read jules - Miz Mindful’s beautiful and truly magical She Dreams of Magic, A heavenly moment on earth prompt response to Lori’s complementary prompt.

I often use the comment section as a sounding board. I left this comment on jules’s gorgeous piece:

Really great and beautiful tanka series but I have to riff in a different direction, I hope you don’t mind.

Truly magical St Patricks Days of my youth Now wear the claddagh Eternal love and friendship My patron Saint is Lindsey

Maybe one day I’ll forget that Lindsey passed on St Patty’s Day. No. Won’t. Can’t. You know what I mean. It was never my fucking holiday anyway, just an excuse to get drunk and do stupid things like drink green beer out of my friend’s sneakers in college. I don’t mean to yuck anyone’s yum. Lots of people die on holidays.

That lead to my current creation:

Today is Tuesday Feels like a moody Monday Why is that you ask? Somewhere over the rainbow Grief pockets stand in my way

Magical fairies St. Patrick’s Days of my youth Now wear the Claddagh Eternal love and friendship My patron saint is Lindsey

Deaths on every day Christmas, Chanukah, birthdays How to honor all Amidst all such joyful noise Say a prayer for the dead

In Rama I create, with soul energy surging through my body, inspiring me and breathing wind into my sails,

Marcus (Gregory Maidman)
