To Me, Today
what is a hope if not the most desperately fervent wish of a man— a dream so deeply staining the edges of reality a hope lies dormant in my belly sleeping like a dragon curled on the hoard of my desire breath like smoke wafting past my eyes and up my spine tinting my retinas; seeping into my brain it fires my neutrons and...

I dreamed my way here I’ve had my cringe moments I feel pressure, I lose perspective I’ve wholeheartedly failed I misspeak, underthink, overreact I try to do the right thing the right thing isn’t always clear I’ve tried to hold on I’ve let go with grace I’ve charged ahead I’ve stepped aside I self-sabotage, then try to do better I’ve self-consciously retreated I’ve stood up for others I’ve backed...

Premium Member Womans Desire
Woman’s Desire What’s all this rigmarole and claptrap About the man being the only one thinking of sex? Well, truth be known, A woman, skin deeply eager, thinks much of it too… Once leaving the job, after The shopping; the vaccuuming; the cooking; the pots, Pans, and dishes; after the childrens’ Homework, meals, baths, and good-night kisses; Once the cat and...

Sniffs of cotton candy glide Glistening like hairy sugar bombs Through barns of dozy prized cows Stinky squeaky piggies squeal off-key While whirligig Ferris Wheels grind and spin In the hum of the Tilt-A-Whirl and giddy voices May 14, 2023 Bitesize Contest No. 64 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Line Gauthier...

An Emerald Sea
Among the golden tipped, rippling, emerald waves of grass, one can see, An old, twisted, gnarled and hollowed, solitary tree. Splintered and broken, it grows no more, limbs and bark remain on the surrounding floor. Thin, gyrating, and pleading branches reach out, towards the sapphire sky, as whipped cream clouds drift about. Gray and black, the wood, dry, crumbling, and rough...

No Shadows After Sunset
Long human silhouettes at eventide. Dry lips, coruscating eyes, hungry souls, a lakefront view. Water shimmering in the diffracted coral beam; upcoming moonlight. Pair of warm and cold hands. Cool evening breeze against golden and olive skin. Fleeting instants after 6 p.m.; Perfect moments don't last long, Seconds of solace, Concealed is the day by azure-colored ripples. Will they lose themselves too? Like...

And Then the Corvids Came
And Then The Corvids Came. Sky filled with black swirling clouds filled with rain a falling, thunder rolled and lightning flashed filling the heart with dread, across the lifeless bodies rolled . washing away the blood pittering on discarded drum, filling sodden pipes drowning tunes and songs, turning into a death lament. The groans of wounded and dying men, filled the evening air, sunset...

Fall Leaves
Flame yellow with a tint of gold, flutters with bite of autumn cold, on aspens and their birch cousins are first seen when the fall begins. Then scarlet fire will appear, a blaze that won’t inspire fear, and deep crimsons of apple-hue, add such richness to a view. Next sugar maples, orange bright, like morning color of sunlight, the harvest-bringer’s vibrant shade soon dominates the forest...

The Rolling Greens
The rolling Greens seem so serene, forests pristine in sunlight’s sheen, tall, rounded peak, a rocky creek, a red-tail’s beak, rodents he seeks, an aged elm, rare in this realm, stands at the helm and overwhelms, small dairy farm of rustic charm, blackflies will swarm, cows takes alarm, dunn Whitetail deer are grazing here, jolt up in fear when folk are near, the turkeys flit...

Autopsy of Someone I Used To Know
Autopsy of someone I used to know Im staring at the figure of someone I have forgotten to know She wears her hair down And her wide eyes stare at mine. She looks a lot like me, she has the same grimace, the same gaze. Even our facial expressions are the exact same. But there’s something...

The Descriptive Injury: Part Ii
it would have been an injury to them both to attempt a description, to bring what it was that compelled the girl to silence (if she had not chose silence beforehand---one outside can never be sure) to formulate an image, to dispel some kind of physical qualities verbally which to the person outside might have made some impression upon them, because that...

The Descriptive Injury: Part I
someone asked her what she was looking at as she stood in front of the large picture window in the kitchen in the abode where she presently resided--- the question came aloud from another room, as if the questioner was busy themselves & only in passing did they see the girl standing with eyes focused, arms at her sides, as if in a...
