(More Brevity Poems, 50 words or less) Unknown (22 words) Hidden in secrecy, Shrouding the truth Showing little, Unable to sleuth Reasons unknown, Motives unclear Open to none, All out of fear. Sliding doors (16 words) I saw her look from across the station I ran, the doors closed, and she's gone Hand Made (36 Words) Molded to imagination Lacks form on its own Purpose lies in art and function Not on one alone Hands and eyes work together Creating something new Finished now and on a shelf For everyone to view Victory (20 words) Veni vidi vici Proclaim the spoils of war Soldiers flood the fields With guns out front Planes and tanks galore The Dark of Night (Cinqain) Night Calm, mysterious Blankets the world Time of relaxed reflection Darkness Secret (25 words) Locked in a vault behind the mind’s eye. Hidden from the world in order to deny. A slip of the tongue... it’s gone... you sigh… Bank Robbery (14 words) Sweat on his brow Revolver in hand She relinquishes the bag Now he flees Video Phone (18 words) The perfect crime So it seemed But unbeknownst At the scene Someone caught it On their cellphone screen Camping (20 words) Crisp Mountain air Snuggled together in a microfiber bag An enclosed zippered fortress Protected from the elements Communing with Nature The Sun (10 words) Night and day Create illusion. Masking truth of Eternal sunshine. Clothed in Ink (14 words) Fish scales and flowers, A saturated canvas. Naked yet hidden Under ink master’s design. Untold No More (45 words) Floodgates open. Pouring forth a tale Of mystery And lessons learned. A tale of caution For open minds To be soaked up Like a sponge. The release creates Momentary ecstasy. It escapes the lips, Lifting a great weight. Now the story will be passed on.
