Pondering The Sad And Fateful Decision

there he sat
his brain peddling along
heart fluttering in space
and that bright summer sky kissing his face
mind recalling trouble
her face appears
she that ripped his flesh and smashed his world
there is no reprieve
certainly is no hope
he ponders the unthinkable
a sharp knife in...

Pondering
As I ponder my weak bladder, you see.
I travel around the corner from thee.
Be careful if around the corner you go.
Please for your sake, watch for yellow snow....

Pondering the Season
To walk along a high mountain rock road
Gaze down on a patchwork of green and gold
With ribbons like glue on a mosaic vase,
A misty fall rain upon your wan face.

I know it’s a herald of change of seasons,
And I ponder and wonder the reasons,
While your...

     Pondering the cosmos, I thought I’d look around
       until I heard a tiny voice, speaking from the ground

     It questioned why I bothered, to gaze so far away

I do not wish to be pompous nor to define,
Whose quill is more divine!

Each poem is soul fruit from a unique experience.
That dances and whirls on the toes of time.

Someone's heart is in each poem.
Don't, I plea, let it stand alone!

It's light rays may brighten...

Premium Member Pondering of a Puddle
Ponded and becalmed after the downpour, lying in shining stillness, I reflect an earthly existence; above me newly leafed limbs, and beyond, the wild beauty of motley skies in the afternoon’s brightening quietude. On the side of a country back road, I daydream. As leftover...

I _ 
have been thinking and pondering my life so far

Pondering Castle Ruins At Dusk

I came upon you near to dusk
watching on the final hill
as modern sculpture, graced stone
calm, slumbering, still.

I wandered through the ghostly rooms
sparely traced by tumbled walls
seeking echoes from soft souls
who coloured life into your walls.

I touched your stone with tender hand
seeking...

Premium Member The Pondering Clown
Every day I see a pondering clown
He rests his arms on a stone platform
No one knows what he is thinking
His eyes stare down -there is no smile
both hands to his face, looking so sad

The eyes look like he will cry tears
He carries the worries of...

I’m at the age where
I’ve grown really long hair
And I don’t denim care
That the trend is to cut it

No longer wearing high heels
Just for a flex or a thrill
More about how my feet feel
And they don’t love it

I don’t have many pink plans
Flying by seat...

A Pondering Thought
A pondering thought I'm trying hard to conceal.
Thoughts roll around the rim of my mind's roulette wheel.
Do I gamble on love or risk losing it all?
Is it red? Is it black? I'm unsure what to call?

The stakes they feel high in this game that we...

Psalm of a Man Pondering Nihilism (A Sonnet)
I felt the chaos like a capsule, small
It tumbled down my throat, dispersed throughout
To numb alert my body, I’d no doubt
Newborn idle entropy at sunfall
Senses are but half-blind court reporters
And memory’s known to give in to its whims
So man may doubt the gospels and the...
