Catch 22
The beginning of the end The end of the beginning To look and not see A desperate path To start what can’t finish Destroying tomorrow When eyes remain closed The future — uncast (Dreamsleep: June, 2025) ...

Premium Member A golly whopper's catch
There was a young woman who yearned for a mate. Sadly cat food was all that she ate... The cans with seafood she clearly favored and from this diet she never wavered. Many thought her an attractive gal, in spite of slight whiskers and her woeful meow. None dared go close as her breath was so foul.. Come night on a twinkling...

Premium Member Catch As Catch Can
I've little or no chance. Should I go for the kill? With my skill and will, I must till every hard hill. I'm my government. I must make my decision. Amidst moral schisms, I have endless vision. Like lions, tigers, and rhinos, I show aggression. Doesn't this involve an ethical transgression? There's a battle. There's a physio-psychic war. Against the opponent, there's...

And I gave her an easy catch
Let me try, spoon-feed me nor ever teach, My big mouth said, help me reach to my bridge Like olden-day gurus who would not preach, Help me smooth out if you find a rough ridge That allowed little light of truth to reach, Stop utter darkness from declaring siege. Just guide, help me old blockages to...

Catch-22 If I say I love you I’m too possessive. If I fail to say I love you I’m not romantic enough. If I work twelve-hour days I don’t spend enough time with you. If I only work four-hour days I don’t show enough ambition. If I discipline the children I’m too harsh. If I don’t discipline the children I’m too lax. If I suggest we go on...

Fresh Catch-In Memoriam
Dust shrouds the peeling varnish on the old church pew as Noah (first of his namesake, last of his namesake) thumbs an overripe orange in his patchwork coat pocket. The preacher, made an obelisk by distance and light looms against the marble cross, stark fragmented, like bullet holes through white fencing. He speaks. “Every Living Thing Has A Soul And...

Premium Member Kentia Palms Catch a Breeze
Kentia palms catch a breeze And sway gently in their rows; This verdant sanctuary Comforts me like the psalms. I amble slowly between them - My head tapped by the fronds. I feel the warmth of the sun; The fresh air fills my lungs. A kintsugi pot rests on pebbles - ...

Catch it, hold it
You snuggle in beside me, claiming the crook of my arm, like the last piece of our favourite puzzle finally finding its place. I rest my cheek against your precious head, waiting for this moment to land so I can try to catch it, hold it, before it skitters away. It's hard to be present these days when my mind is a turbulent ocean, each...
