Migraine – A Pantoum


Pain searing like the burning sun

Every sound a banshee scream

Like Hell’s pandemonium has begun

Torture ascending with every sunbeam

Every sound a banshee scream

Every colour a sharp cutting blazon

Torture ascending with every sunbeam

Every movement like being bludgeoned

Every colour a sharp cutting blazon

Every whisper a klaxon scream

Every movement like being bludgeoned

Every breath makes cold sweat stream

Every whisper a klaxon scream

Like Hell’s pandemonium has begun

Every breath makes cold sweat stream

Pain searing like the burning sun

I love writing Pantoums. I hate having migraines.


Morning After Migraine


Bright spring sunlight

Stabbing my eyes

Birds drilling joyful

Piercing my skull

Wind in budding treetops

Loud booming sound

Seagulls calling out

Slicing my brain

April chill breeze

Icy fingers seeking my neck

First bloom flowers

Colourful neon beacons

World acutely clear, near, loud

Vibrant

Morning after migraine
