New Year, that same Wish
Another year goes past, they just fly and never seem to last, The resolutions I dream in my head, all hanging there by a thin cotton thread, Some I make because it's what others expect, but the real ones nobody can every detect, The wish that is there constantly, is that you would come back to me, on...

Cotton-Mouth
My tongue holds cotton to my teeth Holds the dry in my throat I cannot breathe here My voice is escaped from me I do not speak with sound My hands are my larynx I hold my regards to my noise I have given my beauty to the wall clock Now I sit silently I watch the budgies in the front yard I follow...

Premium Member Cotton Laughter
Just a bit too formal, pearl taffeta or buttered chiffon; I’m more into cotton, something to belly laugh in; Toes in the sea or a theme park; Stained all over with a good time, living in a tank top with rhinestone fringe....

All is bright, and I betwixt God and you, the kookaburra is in the willow, and honeyeaters in the honeydew flitter as I lay your breast and pillow. You are my morning and evening star, sweet inveigler to the unpracticed heart - girl, all I need is to be where you are and never...

THE CRUELTY OF TIME
Oh, how cruel time can be! Shattering hopes and killing beauty. Slowly it steals moments, leaving everything bare Time, a relentless force, beyond compare. Here lies a victim of time's cruelty, the ruins of the cotton tree Once a symbol of resilience, a beacon of the free Now a reminder of nature’s vulnerability. It withstood tsunamis over the years Yet a mere breeze...

Premium Member Cotton Castles of the Sky
A cotton castle hangs in boundless blue, No fleeting wisp, but cradle vast and soft, A mother's touch, where weary hearts find rest. Her downy cloak enfolds the world in sleep, Forgotten memories on the night wind sigh, A promise murmured, safe and sound you lie. But dawn ignites the canvas, ever-shifting, The cloud, a weaver's shuttle, paints the sky. Sunlight and shadow...

Cotton wool
It is instinctive, No parent can help it, If cotton wool is in the house, A parent will find it. When single we don't see a need for it, But as soon as that little bundle of joy arrives, It is added to the must have list. It has caused many a marriage to self-destruct, And should only be used as directed, Preferably by...

Living with shadows
Once there was a time, mill chimneys ruled our skies, above the shadowed streets, where people lived their lives. Once there were the stories, that grandma used to share, of troubled times at the mill, and kitchen cupboards bare. Once there was a window, at home where I belonged, I sat and counted those chimneys, but they disappeared one by one. Once there was cotton here, it's kingdom...

Premium Member Cotton Crowns
Upon their granite, sculpted brows, A chiffon ballet swirls and bows. Cloud-scarves drape, light as a sigh, Where mountains, aged and stoic, lie. Feathers of heaven, soft and white, Escape the nest of day's pale light, Tangled in peaks, a playful tease, Whispered secrets on the breeze. Cotton castles, stacked on high, Guarded by giants reaching for the sky. Sunlight paints, in fleeting grace, A masterpiece...

Clouds
Chunks like white cotton that Can float in sky. Clumps of Condensed water vapor Cause rain on earth, bringing Cheer in summers. Canvas Countryside they adorn. Could sometimes mean gloom too!...
