Premium Member Dangling Short-Lines Over Water-Falls
Oh, dear reader of short-line poems, are you, like me, short of breath? Have you tried to read my short-shift stuff, with ever so short-lines, Aloud? It's sad to say it sounds a tad choppy! Like it's, ridin' on bobbin' seas, sailing into a head-wind over the air-ways. It rollicks along with carriage returns, unwinding, flowing freely from margins set tight, to waterfall. Sad to say, I'm done with it! For me personally, a poem is just a thought, a heady daydream...

Premium Member When God steps onto the stage, the curtain slowly falls
When God steps onto the stage, the curtain slowly falls, And the world as we know it dissolves like a dream at dawn, A dream that becomes vapor, rising toward a timeless sky, And we stand on its edge, watching as all we knew Melts into a sea of light and shadow, Where outlines disappear and transform into something else, Something...

Premium Member Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls Aboard the Maid of the Mist, drenched from the spray, Approaching Niagara Falls, I gaze in awe At this wondrous sight of the renowned cataract, Cascading fervently over the precipice And violently crashing down upon the rocks In a roiling boil is mesmerizing to see. And behold! Out of the mist a rainbow appears, Arching a span over the turbulent waters From...

When the Hammer Falls
I hear the echo, sharp and clear, The auctioneer draws bidders near. “One... two...” — my heartbeat skips a beat, My dreams laid bare beneath their feet. The years I toiled, the nights I lost, Now measured out, now coldly tossed. My labor sold in shouting calls, Reduced to debt on auction walls. I left my job, I chased the sun, Believed in freedom,...

A Tree Falls - In The Forest
If only you could see the forest for the trees it would feel so good for then as an evergreen you'd be out of the woods and if you cared for me going out on a limb tho' not on bended knee I'd ask you to become a branch of my family so near and yet so far you touched me to the roots of my heart and...

Premium Member To Beth: Rochester Falls
You tried to lead me (surely) by the hand across the shallows but we were both too drunk and the stones too slick so we slid stumbling and laughing, falling toward each other all the way across and upriver (rocks bruising our feet) until we were concealed by the night. We held each other close in the dark noisy water that swirled lovingly over our skin like a mother’s...

Premium Member If that oak tree falls
Of that oak tree falls, I may soon be dead. I stared in disbelief at my cousin Zed. Why do you have this weird feeling of dread? He shrugged his shoulders, eating mom’s shortbread. Sometimes Zed gets weird thoughts into his head. Why can’t he keep them to himself instead?...

Premium Member As Autumn Falls, The Rise of the Elemmire, lyrics
Leaves labor in loam, roses endure the drouth’s weight, From the east, petals peel, in soft drift concatenate. Chariot’s beacon soars to the glint’s edge of tomorrow To know, to grow, to sow, to go Ooooh… ahhh… mmmm… Aaaah-ooooh… ooooh-aaaah… Mmm-hmmm… ohhh-ohhh… ahhh… Oooh-waaaah… ooh… mmm… ahhh… Brightly Shiny Threshing floor Sacred door The axis wobble Eternal circle Summer adieu Seasons...

Premium Member Hear the Hiss as Knight Falls
The bluff, bump and bluster turn to blunder asunder with hisses. As ego deflates with a myriad of mistakes and chaotic miss-hits, it dismisses an over-inflated sense of power and influence down the off-ramp....

Koropuko Falls
Hunger for perfectly placed punga path Snakes surely slowly..garlanded scarf Turns & rakes fern festooned forest floor Sun dappled glade, bathed and swathed Glorious green sheens in every shade Follow the hidden hollow - through a secret door.. Fairies frolic on tour…bucolic tonic to explore Rumbling..fumbling through moss tumbling dreams Stumbling…rambling, ambling & scrambling Rugged roots hugs…tugs.. rock hewn strewn...

Niagara Falls
The roar, a constant thunder, not of a storm passing, but a presence, always. Green water, a deceptive calm before the plunge. A lip, vast and unforgiving, relinquishing its hold. Then the white fury, a churning, frothing chaos, swallowing light and sound. Mist rises, a constant veil, kissing skin, dampening air, a rainbow promise when the sun dares to break...
