Best Hexastich Poems
Beneath the shade of pinnate leaves
I catch a glimpse, a swirling haze...
an agile penché – a dash
of graceful pirouettes.
Then like a flash, with a glissade
the whirling wind exits the stage.

I’d caught you with her in your arms,
in my heart I knew you’d not cheat-
but you flashed HER that smile;
that smile reserved for me ...
it was such a tender moment
as you cradled our baby girl!

Ah! Drop your prejudice and hear
I lost my love, fortnights ago
My weeping tears dried-up
Searching for my last name.
With solo flashlight wandering
Among scattered droplets of war.

Embers
burn in silence
not to disturb
our softly spoken words
and to gift us little warmth
in love's nest
Once more
in your embrace
in front of fire
sole witness of our love
making the moment stand still
eternal

Chopping the meat of the problem,
I throw in cubes of potatoes -
the proof of my beliefs.
Serving my rehashed dish,
I keep hoping folks will taste it
before the expiration date.

Sponsor: nette onclaud
word chosen: Rehash
Note: Hash(not the drug) is a dish that uses cut up meat with vetables like potatoes added
New love – white hot and ravenous,
gasping air as reason struggles.
Oh – ardor of flambé;
sweet still, in flame’s repose.
Though a dance once tangoed - waltzes
…just a caress, old embers spark.

Zooming to my room in a flash
...oblivious of sweet reprimands
my insistent dear guest
then whirled with quest fervor…
now triumphs over treasure found:
story* book** stuck in his wheel chair.
*Our special child loves Bible stories.
**Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

hexastich with rhyme
I drink my coffee standing on alert
knowing that my tasks move this chunk of dirt
on its axis... my world, my family.
Of necessity, I grab at moments
attacking life (with God) at faith's expense
wringing out each ounce of kids' energy.
I am a mother raising young children
as a chef, cop, coach, and comedienne.
Past these headwinds, I see in the distance -
a doting old grandma, coffee in her hands
Bible in her lap, waiting in the stands
sharing words worthy of God's remembrance.
love woke inside me, like a flash
filling my heart with tenderness
touching my core with hope
keeping my mind open
to the joy of being with Him
the One God sent to save my soul

TITLE: Faith's Flash
Brimming love potion at sunrise
ornate cookies of motherhood,
drape our savored taste buds;
'Oh! She must love to cook'.
Sliding 'neath her pillow of dusk,
mom's poetry flashes secrets.

Spade of heart drenches our intent
More than once , we question this fate
When blazed nights consume us
Disagreements stewing
About unresolved qualms .
Rehash of doubt lingers. Silence.
We breathe in constant light’s fondness.

Snow falls silently through the night,
And glistens on the face of dawn
Like diamonds in the dew,
Beneath the frosty fleece,
A flower peeks out with a sigh
Wondering why it snowed in spring!

draught of somnolent disdain breath
in dehydrated well of pain
fortified dam hides tears
wailing rains ruin all
barricades broken in flash flood
debris of deluge everywhere .

ECSTASY
to awake
and then to dwell,
pillowed on your breasts,
there to pause awhile..
draped in tenderness..
muffled in love's caress!
