Short Poems - Set 2
[- with 2-4-6-8-2 syllables in a stanza]
Calm sea
curves in white frill,
as gentle, lazy waves
dash against each other, playing
catch me.
---------------------------------------------
Scrawny
cats gather close.
A bevy of them meet
on the gravel sand discussing
conquests.
---------------------------------------------
I learned
to watch the sands
of shifting friendships sink
like tides that ebb and flow with wind
pushing
----------------------------------------------
Her voice
a cruel thrust
plunged deep into his mind.
cold shivers made a ladder of
his spine
-------------------------------------------------
Light spills
breaking shadows
weaves a patchwork of hues
painter’s dreamscape etched into his
palette
-----------------------------------------------
Mountains
with crests of snow
look somber and sleepy
as distant mists of dawn start to
creep slow
---------------------------------------------
