Dancing breezes
Bursts of sun
Crisp apple autumn day
Leaves twirl upwards with a flourish
Spurning twigs that yearn to cling
Lovers pass by, their laughter lingers
Dark clouds obscure the sun
Colors change to shadows blurred
Gone is the beauty in the rust and gold
Longing is found in the chill as the sky surrenders
One drop of rain falls and a lonely blackbird takes wing
Windblown and cold
I breathe in your sweater's scent
Never more
Will you reach out to intercept
A falling leaf

Blue evening dress
Topographical cleavage
Nurturing mother
Father Sky reigns high
Soft touch on her horizon
Her head covered with
A wintery Arctic scarf
With white pumps to match
He caresses her
His radiant passion flames
Heating up her womb
Encompassing her with love
Warm and cold climatic touch
His breath cools her skin
Tenderly moistening earth
Life springs from within

Awesome Faith
Ask and you will maybe see,
Seek an you will bloody find,
Listen, you might bloody hear,
Shut your eyes, and you are blind,
Visualize and it appears,
Comes forth, out of your mind,
Close your mind,
It dissapears,
Faithless always comes behind,
Now aint that queer :)

a weathervane still
points east 'pon gray ancient barn...
fall's air rust tractors
the vain weathervane speaks east
and rust grows though no one knows
rusty John Deere sits
outside engine deep in grass...
bucks face off for fight
the leaves are falling
revealing the trees fractures
fall air thrust factors
crimson, gold, and red leaves fall
farm lake ~ mural of the scene
John Deere the artist
tractors in the grass like clouds
wearing the weather

Poem |
Under ghostly moon--
Bloody skeletons hang
Opening coffins
witches brew maggots in cauldrons
at the end of hooded dance
Shrieks from bleak alleys
Ruffle cobweb hairs
Medusa hunts for flesh
a shortening of pulses
mingles with children’s sweats
Pumpkin lanterns
expand knifed fangs
Loot bags ripping
from cracked windows of trickery
Halloween’s beat mounting, run!
*alternating 3- and 2-lines, traditional rengay

How to consider a house that’s not a home
How to consider a heart that stands alone
How to consider bee without its hives
This is me as you move on with your lives
I am the girl that is covered in sin
Proud and reckless but ashamed within
Broken, alone, I hide from it all
Hoping to hurt less when I finish the fall
Will you doubt when I tell you my lie?
Will you come back when I tell you goodbye?
Can you recover when I blow you apart?
Together, forever into different hearts.

Writing a Poem of Love
Not much to cheer
Guess not my love
No one is my dear
Everything is virtual
Nothing is real
None write for me
None bother to read mine
Can’t lead my life
This way in strife
I write for myself
The Poem is for me

Poem |
The trees smile for its been a while
To see the sprinkle of colours
Bewildering shades in blues and reds
Celebrate the coming of Holi
The canvas of earth with tints of mirth
And happiness, peace and delight
Splashes of vibrant flashy hues
Spring colours abound in flowers
A full moon and people swoon
Lighting the holy fire
The crimson blaze and Holika in lace
Is devoured year after year
Holi-An Indian festival of colours
Holika- An effigy burnt in the purifying fire, an end of evil

waterfall trickles
thawing ice releases drops..
moss 'pon rocks turns green
The frozen giant towers
Great mighty melting water
waterfall's moisture
seeps as spring awakes nature...
deer sups deep from stream
rain from mountain top
turns to mist as it comes down..
rainbow in my eyes
The bridal veil waterfall
Seen through Azaleas' blossoms
The morning day scents
Come blooming into my life
Melting waterfall

Soul Mates
Loving life –
Magical music
Serenades two hearts.
Dancing in the moonlight.
Waltzing through fairy woods
Floating high
Suspended amid dreams
Kissing heaven
Remembering
That special day
When lovers first met…
Hope touches.
Souls united.
Youthful hearts
Not so long ago
Sun setting—

Note: My spouse, Ingrid, also writes poetry. Because we have the same IP address, Ingrid
is unable to post on Poetry Soup. (One IP address per family I guess???) So, we decided to
take this opportunity to write together. Thank you for the Rengay contest, Deborah. Smiles,
Dane Ann
