Poetry Monday - what's that? It is a blogging game, that Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings
and I have taken over the hosting duties, mostly the supplying of the
prompts - only temporarily we hope - while Diane at On the Border is
taking a break for health and relaxation, travelling the world with
her husband as far as we can tell. We just hope she's going to take
back over once she returns home.
The prompts now come from 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts group. This is a Facebook group with a prompt for each day of the year, but no worries, the prompts will still be here and at Mimi's blog.
Sometimes, also today the prompts are better for arts/drawing, than for poeming, but we have to try.
Today's prompt: Sitting on old chairs
This poem contains a bit of synaesthesia, because for me - like for Susan - the names of the seasons have colours too. If you're curious, the chapters are here: Synaesthesia & After the visit to the minister..
Sitting on old chairs, that is what we do,
and at old tables we're sitting too.
Drinking tea and chatting all through Winter's day
'cause when Summer's coming we'll be on our way.
Sitting on old chairs in our garden too
And at old tables, that is what we do
Working in the garden all through Summer's day
Old chairs mark our seasons, green, white, blue or grey.

Hvad er Mandagsdigtet? Det er en blogleg, som Mimi fra Messymimi's Meanderings og jeg har overtaget - midlertidigt! - fra Diane, der slapper af og rejser verden rundt med sin mand. Vi håber hun er parat til at tage over igen, når hun kommer hjem.
Stikordene kommer nu fra 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts. Det er en Facebook-gruppe, der udgiver et stikord til hver dag i året, men bare rolig, stikordene vil stadig være at finde både her og på Mimis blog.
Dagens stikord er: Siting on old Chairs - At sidde på gamle stole. Nogen gange er det næsten alt for tydeligt at det er stikortd til at tegne efter, også i dag. Men digtes, ja, det skal der!
De gamle stole her er let symbolske. Og for mig - som for Susan - er mange ting karakteriseret ved at deres navn også har en farve. Læs mere her: Synæstesi & Besøget hos præsten.
Sidder på gamle stole her ved vintertid,
og ved gamle borde, hygge-snakke-tid.
For når det blir sommer løber vi omkring
Ude, inde hjemme, laver mange timg.
Men vi sidder også ved et gammelt bord
når vi drikker kaffe på vor plet på jord.
Gamel stoe tæller hver en dag vi har
grønne, hvide, brune, hver en stol er rar.
