A flower's chastity

youre a red apple
the outside i devour in large, juicy bites
as much as my teeth can fit with all corners stretched wide

youd think to do the same at the core
But cracking bitterness brings seeds
scratch small bites, an itch
Jaw working, bony indents stiched

I like the way my tendons flex
Palm spread to grasp that hard fruit off the wiry stem
The core delicate
Slurping juice of whats left

The carcass melts into a brown sugar debt
Back to the earth you go to be reborn again


Premium MemberThe Last Days of Autumn

It was a mild autumn day
far enough from summer’s heat
 awaiting winter’s cold bite

The brilliant shafts of sunlight
ignited the vibrant colors 
of autumn’s falling leaves

I watched them as they fell
tumbling down
all around me

Like outrageously large confetti
every color
from vivid scarlet to warm brown

I ran through the leaves
tossed them in the cool air
then sat amongst them on the ground

Autumn was here 
a feeling of joy came upon me
a smile crept across my face

Premium MemberMy Colors

My colors shift with every hour of the day—
most often brown, sometimes blue. 
When fatigue sets in, I may turn yellow; 
in moments of joy, I blush in shades of red. 

I believed autumn had come when the cherry tree shed its leaves 
and the flowers faded, even the hardy petunias nearing their end.
but a little water and fertilizer brought forth new colors:
white, red, pink, blue—each bloom reflecting my colors of the day.

Colors are reflection of my mood,
In the starry nights with black moon showing some life,
The silvery rays, shining stars, and stardust glow,
Makes my mind dazzle in the silvery glow.

In the winter snowy season,
Overwhelmed by snow and icicles around,
Although white prevails everywhere, joy and fun for many of us,
I would like to feel like a snowman, enjoying evergreen ferns, and a red carrot nose.

Premium MemberA Triad of Tanka VI: Autumn Failing

A cracked, lone brown leaf

Spiralling quickly downwards

Knows only the ground;

But in that motion exalts 

As if a plunging falcon.
-------------------------------------

Fallen, wind-blown leaves

Huddling against grey kerbstones

In abject neglect.

Already parks quieter...

Their iron railings more stark.
-------------------------------------

The thick sap retreats

When gnarled bark tightens its grip

On inner heartwood;

Summer faded into nights...

Autumn, failing, covered all.

Premium MemberI Am Violet

If I were a color, I'd imagine myself being bright 
It wouldn't be brown, or yellow or white
 
It would be something kind of, like in-between 
A pinkish/red, or a Orangish/dark green 

Silver is too sparkly, and gold is too bold 
Bronze' not too shabby, but it'll make me look old
 
Purple doesn't cut it, nor does a light blue 
But I might like what color I am, if I mix the two
 
So, the color I'd be, is the color I'd get 
If I mix purple and light blue, I would be violet

  Don't talk to me
  until I've had my coffee
  Brown beans with a round and rich taste
  provide an invigorating effect

  I drink my morning coffee
  with a clear conscience
  A gentle start to the day
  Coffee beans come in all scents and colors
  - I'm brown and smell heavenly

Premium MemberI am Brown

I am brown, mixed from yellows, reds, and blues
Vibrant underneath but hidden from your views.
My colour brown can change within my hues
Some dark, some light, depends on what I choose.

Blended correctly many shades you'll see
Warm or cool my undertones can be.
Chocolate, beige, or tan to name just three 
So many browns; and all of them are me.

I'm really versatile, in great demand
Because my colour spreads across our land.

Brown Eyes

Reminiscent of a doe
with a hue as rich as earth,
your gaze takes me home
to a cedar-filled hearth.

Welcoming like hot chocolate
and as vibrant as autumn's leaves,
your stare carries the life
that Mother Nature herself weaves.

Neutral, yet expressive—
as versatile as leather, but still so alive—
your eyes are the gemstones
favored by the sun and I alike.

Ghosts of Havana: A Letter from the Other Side

I speak now, not with breath,
But through the bones of history,
Through palms that never bore fruit
Because your embargo starved the soil.

You feared not our weapons—
We had none to match your bombs.
You feared our ideas,
Because they burned too brightly in the dark.

Sixty-two winters and summers,
My people have walked in chains—
Not of iron,
But of isolation, hunger, and propaganda.

Is it a crime to dream in red?
Is dignity a sin,
When worn by brown hands
On a small island that refused to kneel?

You said it was freedom—
Yet you crushed us under boots
Stamped democracy,
Laced with hypocrisy.

Your friends—your “allies”—watched.
Some nodded.
Some traded,
And many sold their silence for your gold.

Fidel is gone,
But the embargo remains—
Like a ghost that haunts both jailer and prisoner,
A curse passed down by cold-hearted kings.

America, when the axis shifts,
And the sun of the global south rises—
What will your monuments say then?
What flag will you wave when truth takes the throne?

History is a patient god.
It watches.
It remembers.
And when it judges—
It does not ask permission.

Colorful splashes

Splish splash splash;
It is a colorful blash;
A brown leaf floats in a bathtub,
Does a leaf make noise, I doubt!!!

Yup!!! A little colorful leaf,
plunges into the bath;
Makes a sigh as a sign of relief;
Soon, other leaves join the path

Spattering the drops, 
They do hop;
Here, over there,
And everywhere.

The leaves play, they giggle;
They spray , they wiggle;
They make fun, they relish;
O! I could be these leaves, I wish.

Hey! Wait!!!
How come the leaves look so cute!!!

Oh, they are Munias!!!
Scaly breasted Munias!!!
Like the splashes they splatter,
My worries they spatter

Cute little munchkin peers
Make me shed happy tears after years...

Premium MemberOld School

They're smiling leniently don’t be silly 
You can’t be apolitical these days
I’m smiling back I don’t trust them initially,
It doesn’t fall under a criminal offence
I’m fascinated by the incongruous lines
Just look at those familiar shapes, distorted
The early cubist paintings make them shine
Not blindingly, but just how you would want it
Ambiguous light of green and brown hues
Strict and fastidious lines, this is my politics 
No one’s deprived, humiliated or abused  
You’re in your favorite chair watching pics
It’s a spiritual job, not quite a passive leisure 
Those pictures move in time can’t stay the same
They grow on you without any measure
Until your mind will get the best of frame
You hang out in the school of old escapers
The shooters cannot see us with their drone
Tomorrows ash deploy yesterdays papers
Don’t ask of yesterdays old girls – all gone.

Premium MemberA Robin’s Song

The bright sunshine signalled a new 
dawn,
Lazily, I stretched and yawned,
Not truly ready to face the day,
As I looked out of my window, my 
neighbour shouted, it’s beautiful 
today.

On a thin and fragile branch, 
I noticed a Robin was resting his 
feet,
A charmer he was , and to my eyes, 
he was a treat,
His colourful coat was white, brown 
and red,
Seeing him made me feel glad I had 
gotten out of bed.

With his melodiously sweet trill, 
the leaves on the trees seem to 
flutter with his song,
Notes rise and fall and with the 
gentle breeze, the branches swayed
in a rhythmic dance,
His tune filled the Spring air, and
not long, a female came along,
Witnessing their interactions was a 
beautiful moment for me. Sometimes
in life, unexpectedly beautiful things
do happen by chance.

Premium MemberHairy Morning

Oh, my gosh, I’m freaking and feel such dread.
What the hay is this nonsense on my head?
I can’t go to work, can't enter the office!
I will be seen, visible to peers and bosses,
be the fool who provided entertainment gossip. 
God, please, send help, I am stress-nauseous.
I do not care about appearing faultless,  
but I'd rather errantly tuck a dress in my hose
and walk through the office cluelessly exposed
than have everyone think this is what I choose.
I wonder if I should call in with a case of ugly,
hire someone to gently, but effectively mug me?
Perhaps I'll get pulled and cuffed on the roadside
for publicly exposing the ugliest hair ever dyed.  
Shame a wig class wasn't at business school:
"How to Avoid Looking Like the Office Fool."
I look like a horrified, horror movie hostess.
Even my own mirror is refusing to focus.
Here I am, paler than even fresh new snow,
with midnight black hair grooving to and fro.
My very first dye and, oh my, I could just die!
Box said ‘brown’, now I'm so down, I might cry.
Universe, please – send a natural disaster,
nothing fatal, it's just one repair day I’m after.

Premium MemberEaster

Easter egg hunt for little ones
In green grass under yellow sun

Laughs that grab hearts red sonnet 
Bow ties brown eyes and pink bonnet

So cute toddler who picks up a rock
Doesn’t want the emerald egg on top

Another girl seems to fuchsia fear
Easter Bunny with floppy brown ears

Every one excited taking peach photos 
Easter memories as valuable as gold

Premium MemberOne Faithful Friend



Tiny pink flower, so alone, 
In verdant fields, how you've grown. 
                   No hands to nourish, none to tend,
We all long for one faithful friend.

Just a single cloud in the sky, 
Waiting for a mate to float by. 
                   Grey rain gathered by sighing wind,
We all long for one faithful friend. 

Brown pup struggles to thrive, to live, 
All others lost, has love to give, 
             Must find that One's torn heart to mend.
We all long for one faithful friend. 

She sat, lonely, while crowds rushed through. 
Young hearts break so easily too.
              Cold, wet nose, she looked down, grinned!
We all long for one faithful friend!
