Best Tetractys Poems

In shadow 'neath the shining of a soul 
a heart trembles
for her lost 
control.
Hope 
lives 
in Him
who forgives
trespass and sin
as flight with Mercy’s angel does...

Dust
airborne
can settle
everywhere
It lands on tables and under your bed
It also clings to your computer screen
on clothes it goes
and of course
up your
nose

Pets 
people
in your food

Blue 
vision
Dipping toes
feel the softness
The warm breeze of the summer joys tempts me
Crystallized sand like feathers on the toes
Gold in my eyes
Breathe taking
and pure
bliss

Flair

of ink

spilling sweet

cloudbursts of thought

flare billows of young imagination -

daydreamers ride the mind of story-time

using wands of

enchantment

penning 

worlds

Spill
your ink
on blank page.
Express your rage.
Suppression only leads to mental pain.
Without catharsis, art is trapped in cage.
Trauma will stain,
as you age.
Gain your
stage.
Sage
soul smiles.
It's worthwhile
to tame...

Here is a flowered field laid before me.
So vast and green,
it shimmers
like the
sea.
This
sea of
pretty green
swims in my eyes.
I’m drowning in sunset’s last yellow rays.

I
dreamt of
a poem
forgot the words
As beneath the salty cold brine of tears
silence floats, whilst I’m coloring kohl rain
in metaphors
of regret
across
blood
red
ruby 
carnations
that bleed silken
sonnets for an...

My
poet’s 
life (not known
then as such) flowed
along life’s swift course
rippling with glee and roaming youth’s chasms.

It then streamed relentlessly to the Now.
I polish agates

I 
dance with
the ocean
jumping blue waves -
soaking in its stretch of sun-drenched beauty

Seeds
Planted
Then nurtured
See how they’ve grown
Into pretty pansies for my garden

How I love to see their smiling faces
In lovely shades
Of purple
Pink and
Red

They
Brighten
My borders
Bringing colour
Especially on wet...

Hands
mixing
neutral shades
as brushstrokes form
etches of life’s vignettes in washed-out tones,
Reflecting grim  shadows doused by night’s  ash
Where black  white hints
Trail along
Fingers
Stained.
Grief
In oil
Expressing
Artist's lament
Through...

I 
venture
Into art,
Casting myself,
I am focused with no destination.
