This week’s Meeting The Bar challenge at dVerse Poets Pub is to write a Palinode. I never heard of palinodes until our host, Grace, filled me in today:
“A palinode or palinody is an ode or song that retracts or recants a view or sentiment to what the poet wrote in a previous poem.”
So:
My original poem: From failed haiku – A journal of American Senryu
Vol 6 Issue 61 (Online) January 2021
black ink
in dark rooms
disappears
My Palinode:
night becomes morning
–nothing ever vanishes–
writ remains written

Scrambled, Not Fried 
Both terrific expressions of reality … is there a style name for the combination?
I like this clever turn in your response poem.
Love this!
“Nothing ever vanishes,” .. yes! This is a brilliant response, Ron!
Clever, too clever, but sorely appreciated.
Love the response specially with: writ remains written
Ron Period, you have palinoded yourself (good thing it’s not dark in here so I can read what you writ)
Genius! May this comment endure many moons!
You’re making it too easy to take the middle ground but you’re damn right – on both accounts.
Great haikus.
Honest, true – and both little gems, Ron!
I enjoyed both haiku, and you really did turn it around: what is done in the darkness shall be seen in the light!
Our poetic words are out there! A clever palinode/senryu pair, Ron.
I really nice this, Ron. It’s very clever.
Ron,
Brevity is the soul of wit, as you prove in very successful haiku! What is hidden will come to light.

So cleverly written Ron.
Well done, Ron..
Some words writtine in darkness should perhaps not see daylight… great write
