Puzzles in Pink

Yesterday is just a dream. 
I took you everywhere, 
but you... do not remember. 

My little one, 
you cried and cried. 

We went to the park, 
to feed the ducks. 
We went to the ocean, 
to swim in the sea. 
We went to...

Poetry is like puzzles or paint
coming together a bit at a time;
The design bold or sometimes faint;

Often requiring self restraint 
it’s such a tall mountain to climb;
Poetry is like puzzles or paint;

Never interested in playing it straight;
From the softest pink to neon lime 
the design...

Just for a while
Wear a foolish smile;
Why?

Words on a page
Now tells on you;
Silly poet

~~~~~~~~~


Cryptic ideas veil
Disrupt the easy;
Confront conflict

~~~~~~~~~


Memory goes back
Loiters on old borders;
Ancient artifacts

Sad news really
Death at doorstep;
Pit stop grief

Evening wind chokes
Hazy air smoky;
Faraway peat fires

Miniature dog walking;
Owner on a leash

Rearrange and calculate
Time is against you...

Why write poetry?
Someone asked again;
Why breathe?

~~~~~~~~~


Snail sliding slowly
Grass verge camouflage;
Morning psalm

~~~~~~~~~


Morning crowd
Busy feet congregate;
Fiddle with cellphones

~~~~~~~~~


Downtown office complex
Rush hour traffic;
Urgent commotion

~~~~~~~~~


Food court terrestrials
Sea of hungry faces;
No place to sit

~~~~~~~~~


Work day blues
So much for so little;
Make ends meet

~~~~~~~~~


Modern day woes
So little time,
So much to do

~~~~~~~~~


Healthy constellations

Bus stop sensations
Where's the bus?
Tardy connection

~~~~~~~~~


Old contact hearsay
Not much to say;
Silent confrontation

~~~~~~~~~


Frangipani sunrise
Pink, yellow, white --
Magical moments

~~~~~~~~~


Smoky stray wind
Grim echoes;
Stale air descends

~~~~~~~~~


Shoppes in decline
Ancient wares loiter;
No takers

~~~~~~~~~


Evening settles
Noisy commotions fade;
Mahjong excavations!

~~~~~~~~~


By this old quay
Modern face lifts greet;
New watering hole

~~~~~~~~~


New dreams stacked
On old faded sites;
Cool revolution

Prime time news;
Wake up call

Elegant poise on TV
Charming sweet voice;
Brilliant anchor delivery

Homegrown talent
Sparkle and shine;
New media sensation

Stock market trends
Upswing and downswing;
Challenging times

Politics of freedom
Confrontational constituents;
Angry defiance

Observe the times
Conflicts permutates;
Right and left and wrong

Losing streak
Gambling losses;
Cut loss and run

~~~~~~~~~


Affairs of the heart
Uneasy showdown;
Bruised egos clash

Life weaves its way through destiny
 and the chips fall where they may
 Some bask in glory, others in sorrow
 Painting choices in blue and gray
 Bringing every emotion into play 

 We must weather whatever it brings
 Or we will be left out in...

PUZZLES  OF LEAVES
The hillside canopies of seemingly cascading skeleton trees,
bare their boney branches that once clung to myriad puzzles of leaves.
Each shimmering fall leaf
 a vividly colored flame,
now a fallen burnt out brief
spent for its time of fame,
leaving their once possessive bare bone branches
to...

Puzzles when they are games is fun.
Puzzles in life can make you feel dumb.
Putting together life's little clues
Still searching for the letter so not to lose.

Even the geniuses in the world
Get stumped from time to time.
Is life the hardest puzzle of all?
At times it can...

Like jigsaw puzzles
Looking for pieces, they'd say,
To fit our heart's shape
Per person just one we get;
But I would differ
There is so much more to love
If we don't contort
Nor limit to just one form
The things we devote
To those nesting in our soul.
By dropping the masks
We liberate...

Mind over matter,
Explore life's taverns;
Trust can engender,
A lonely cavern;
Play with full measure,
Hoist funny feelings;
Open life's treasures,
Reach borders fleeting;
Sense somnolent daze.
Sounds that now betray,
Urgent sure amaze
Ripe readings defray;
Give in to stillness:
Exit loneliness.
