Premium Member A New Lease

Inhale this moment,
let the sunshine in.
No, it’s not easy.
I have begun now,
unlearning the rush.

A brand new lease
will wake you up.
All those details 
that went unseen. 

Decorate 
everyday
with color

spilling
across 

you.

majestic serene
she has her own mind
mighty keen hunter
fierce rodent killer
sleeps in a curl

has a war cry
off with their heads
loves chasing prey
pats down her nest

unperturbed
unconcerned
unruffled

queen like
my way

Premium Member Hope Takes Wing

     Hope is not a thing
     resting in one place,
     the poet said hope
     is a feathered thing,
     I think it takes wing

     and flies to hearts
     too numb to sing,
     hearts too heavy,
     hearts too weary,

     hearts beating
     out of time,
     out of rhyme~

     hope comes,
     breathe in...

     rise!

color
fine fruit

nectarine
bit of blush
sweet preserves

fuzzy and round
refreshing juice
Georgia orchard

cut up on ice cream
tasty freshly picked
great in a cobbler
peach is a marvel
she makes a fine pie

Premium Member Mezzo

It’s the middle ground,
a luscious sweet spot.
Mellow medium,
leaving you aligned.
Rhythm in balance.

Just the pitch pipe,
sound permeates.
Kindling on fire,
enough to toast. 

Not too high,
not too low..
alto flames.

Main source,
mezzo

tone.

Premium Member luna moth

attracted to light
landing on my porch
delighting faeries
not a damselfly
not a firefly

from the near woods
child of the night
a dainty wisp
just visiting

something lithe
something light
mystical

pea green
luna

moth

Premium Member freeway driving

harried freeway drive
stress in the morning
stress in the evening
tension in my back
waiting for a crash

race car drivers
stressing me out
motorcycles
sirens flashing

semi trucks
traffic stops
terrified

freeway
tension

Premium Member Monday Girl

I’m a Monday girl
waking with the Sun. 
Revved up and ready,
just give me coffee.
Ambition on fire. 

I will show you 
what I can do.
I was resting
now I’m solid. 

In the air 
it begins,
a vision.

Ready
to press

start.

Mirror's Grab

It's too dark for her.
She daubs mascara on glass.
The mirror has no arms...
Night's just in the morning.
There existing, the eyes ran

Upon former years, tears 
The mood stops, reflecting
Make faces, she's mine
Broken embers from limbs

Vice and crash,
Both's empty blood —
She's twisting surfacing

Barbwire that
Blocks out

Shards
