Hexastich Poems | Examples

If You Only Knew

hexastich with rhyme

I drink my coffee standing on alert
knowing that my tasks move this chunk of dirt
on its axis... my world, my family.
Of necessity, I grab at moments
attacking life (with God) at faith's expense
wringing out each ounce of kids' energy.

I am a mother raising young children
as a chef, cop, coach, and comedienne.
Past these headwinds, I see in the distance -
a doting old grandma, coffee in her hands
Bible in her lap, waiting in the stands
sharing words worthy of God's remembrance.

Sedoka a Hexastich

ECSTASY

to awake
and then to dwell,
pillowed on your breasts,
there to pause awhile..
draped in tenderness..
muffled in love's caress!

Flash Flood

draught of somnolent disdain breath 
in dehydrated well of pain
fortified dam hides tears
wailing rains ruin all
barricades broken in flash flood 
debris of deluge everywhere .

Faith's Flash

love woke inside me, like a flash
filling my heart with tenderness
touching my core with hope
keeping my mind open
to the joy of being with Him
the One God sent to save my soul

Flash Visit

Zooming to my room in a flash

...oblivious of sweet reprimands

my insistent dear guest

then whirled with quest fervor…

now triumphs over treasure found:

story* book** stuck in his wheel chair. 

*Our special child loves Bible stories.
**Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Flash Dance

Beneath the shade of pinnate leaves
I catch a glimpse, a swirling haze...
an agile penché – a dash  
of graceful pirouettes. 
Then like a flash, with a glissade  
the whirling wind exits the stage.

Flash Light

Flashes like rainbow sunlight lit
Shone her belligerent facade
The sheriff headlamps rays
Subsided into quest
Then at last her secret broke out
Like mucus from a stayed baked bread

Snow Crash

Snow falls silently through the night,
 And glistens on the face of dawn
 Like diamonds in the dew,
 Beneath the frosty fleece,
 A flower peeks out with a sigh
 Wondering why it snowed in spring!

Flash Revelation

I’d caught you with her in your arms,
in my heart I knew you’d not cheat-
but you flashed HER that smile;
that smile reserved for me ...
it was such a tender moment
as you cradled our baby girl!

Shadow Flashed

Is it the shadow of dark cloud
A vast and hovering menace 
Over the endless lake  
In this moonless dark night
That flashed in the heart of the dark
Like the echo of unheard sound?

Crash Fusing

Lonesome time of isolation,
caged in self-confined crumbled space.
Stretched arms, silk cheeks withdrawn
to distance redefined,
feel of live touch lost in deep gloom.
Wish I could crash on you to fuse.

Crash Death

Rolling waves crashed against the shore,
thunder was cracking in the sky,
and wild lightening flashed.
My heart is in pieces,
and in my mind I hear screaming,
as your car falls over a cliff.

Flash Fire

New love – white hot and ravenous,
     gasping air as reason struggles.
           Oh – ardor of flambé; 
       sweet still, in flame’s repose.
Though a dance once tangoed - waltzes 
    …just a caress, old embers spark.

Rehash Hash

Chopping the meat of the problem,
I throw in cubes of potatoes -
the proof of my beliefs.
Serving my rehashed dish,
I keep hoping folks will taste it
before the expiration date.

Flash Secret

Brimming love potion at sunrise
ornate cookies of motherhood,
drape our savored taste buds;
'Oh! She must love to cook'.
Sliding 'neath her pillow of dusk,
mom's poetry flashes secrets.
