Steady in the arch of an old oak tree,
Where limbs have crackled and fallen,
Lives the North Star, saying “hello” to me,
As I wander and watch the night.
There seem to be stars circling around you,
But they roar with the motors of planes,
And I imagine their tired...

Once he winked, she blinked 
Soothing stars of love released
All their dreams came true!

>I have a blinking broken foot.  
By Stanley Russell Harris

Poetry soup honourably mentioned.

I have a blinking broken foot.
My left one can you not see.
The picture’s on my Facebook page.
For all of you, to preen!
I did not do it in action.

Of sun and moon and star to crest
I never felt that I was blessed
I love to sleep inside the mess
Maybe the devil wore a dress

With morals to deny the crave

With tears in his eyes
He stares at the cursor
Wanting to type
Fearing he will
The feelings overwhelming
Building in crescendo
The urge to kill
Not another person

Scattered through...

that moments slip from the...
