Drawstring Poems

Marvelling in the Pink afternoon

...Marvelling in the pink afternoon, pretending
to crochet a drawstring. I’ve done it before,
at least once before, followed the pattern. Closed
the purse. I can’t nearly begin
to learn that not all...

Shades of Azimuth

...

        On a misty mountaintop, 
where eagles guard the skies, a priestess awaits, 
like a pacing dragon,
her lover's gaze to stair upon like a tiger from a pit, 
her wait become but shadows ...

Drawstring

...Whom I have lose 

It's a demand of my life
When she was in Bank
I saw her hair band
She was an angel
I am a devil
Drum of drums into my heart
When I saw but she is an angel
I am a fool she ...

Silly Sack

...You’ve got to have a certain knack
when opening your Silly Sack;
the beasts within will soon attack
with no hold barred, no turning back.

Now these are not the monstrous sort,

Marbles

...I remember shooting marbles during recess time.
There were puries, tiny worlds of milky blindedness.
Big heavy steelies, bearings from salvaged, derelict machines,
Hematite cores of some new known...

I Remember

...Let me see if I still remember how 
to light an emotion with just one touch 
Caress the linen dreams of my hot summer day 
with just the sound of your sweet laughter ..
I shall attempt to...

...The thin white line of sanity stretches  
Between empty horizon and smoky sky,
Where mind bereft struggles for breath, choking,
The drawstring tightening, pulling the dark -
The soundless, hollow...

Things With Strings

...THINGS WITH STRINGS

Spider's web, strings of stars,
a weaver's loom, and old guitars.
Balls of yarn, and DNA,
string bikini, and crochet.

Cats cradle, spools of thread,
Tails on kites, and ...

...My friend and I were talking about the weather and how it relates to his business. He said, "This time of year, my life is all about leaves".  I said, "That would make a great poem title".  He inform...

Spellbinder

...........jiggle clumsily; post halter-
behind braids- busy in evacuation of the cool pool water,
like a carefree bull in the field.
Her eyes sharp and cruel, unyielding to the faulter.
Fixating on...

The Jacket

...It still hangs there,
		     there on the back of my door.

“Wa d’y lev ut thur?” I can hear you say 
in that Chatterley-esque accent of yours,
rippling through me.

“It’s so I can smell you” ...

Burlap and Satin

...Burlap and satin went to the dance
It was held at the old Fisher Barn
Burlap wore a fine Gunny sack
Adorned with a drawstring of yarn

Satin sported a shimmery weave
Trimmed with buttons of gol...
