Waiting by Patrick Jennings

First light dawns and floats

Small weathered boats

The lake looks to be stagnating

Simply waiting

“Are there enough fish in this murk?”

To work

Fishermen begin to smirk

This is a fishing town for sure

The water should not be pure

Small weathered boats simply waiting to work

Unraveling the Ovillejo (a new poetic form rolls up to the Bar)

Prompt offered by De Jackson:

“The explanation below is offered from several online sources, which seem to be attributed most often to Rhina P. Espaillat:

…the “ovillejo,” an old Spanish verse form that means “tight little bundle.” “-ejo” is one of our blessed diminutives, and “ovillo” means “tangled ball of yarn.” The last line is a “redondilla,” a “little round” that collects all three of the short lines. The rhyme scheme is established, but the meter is at the poet’s discretion, although in Spanish the longer lines tend to be octosyllabic (8 syllables).”
