cherry blossoms drift

upon the white casket

-a fading pink hue

she scatters his ashes

where cherry blossoms bloom

-life after life

-cherry blossoms wither

before leaves bloom

my unborn child

-cherry blossoms

wither too soon

cherry blossoms

in hues of pink

clouds eclipse the sun
my shadow plays hide and seek

i never want to stop learning you 
i hope i never get you down to a science 
some days i am an engineer 
i check your structure for flaws 
and find none 
i find myself marveling 
at your architecture with my hands 
tracing the curves...

The end of the road
When a man grows old and gray
Picture of life cracks
 
End of dignity 
No bright lights in the tunnel 
Tower at world's end

When life's sun goes down 
Thoughts on life diversity
Stand fast when it storms

Workout

muscle bound
gaining pound after pound
triceps, biceps, lats, a cut up back.

Push ups, sit ups, crunches to create a six pack,
tuna fish, chicken, fruits and veggies for a snack.

Summer is here, I can't do without 
Bronze body tan, so devout.
This work-out.

BORN AT 47
I am born , now at the age of forty seven
I am surprised, as I seemingly feel
The same fresh air of thrill
May be how the freedom starved folks felt
In the historic year of nineteen forty seven.

The early days passed away with distracted aims
The...

there was nothing tangible
not now not ever
reality dwells beyond the stars

perception is a myth
the suffering are simply mistaken
only their thoughts hurt them

true love is a shared experience
as it always was and always will be
but not through a computer screen

this is only my best approximation

By Robielynn Collins 

 What a gorgous morning, 
I'll have to say, 
a wonderful start, 
to a beautiful day, 
with the sky so blue, 
and the glistening snow, 
with it's shades of hue, 
it may be only 20 degrees, 
but the spectacular view, 
will surely...

I never saw myself as an old man
Never thought two-thousand would come either
I lived my life not on any one plan
Sweated through high school without a breather

I haven’t the mobility to run
though at times I can walk pretty darn fast
and I am always out getting...

I wanted to write something in which each successive line had one more letter than the one before; it basically wrote itself :


I
do
not
wish
to see
the sky
before a
bird goes
soaring by
that I may be
at once alive
observing him
soar, turn & dive
no cares, the King
of his high domain
the earth beneath’s

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 47

Hail! The Historic Document! Heil! Furies!
Hardly a week gone leaders put us to sleep
The Debate’s back to more cannons for countries

Can ISIS kill more than three 4C degrees
All that bluff about 1. 5 makes skin creep
Hail! The Historic...

Between the witching hour and saffron dawn,
When guileless hearts are peacefully asleep,
An evil prowls a wolf amidst the sheep,
With fangs as bloody daggers swithly drawn;

And erelong the warmth of blood shall spawn,
A frenzy thus unloosed from hellish keep,
While all the angels’ watch and soothly weep,
As...
