Premium Member Observing in Silence
Observing in Silence (Iambic Pentameter) The stars don’t speak, yet still they seem to know The thoughts we hide behind our veils of light. They turn in rhythm, pulsing soft and slow, Their silence louder than our words in flight. A shadow moves across the inward screen, A gesture drawn from dreams we fail to name. The stillness holds what never could be...

Finnish Tango In The Rain
standing in the rain again in the rain again I stand, next to the Finnish truck driver waiving with a wet newspaper or maybe it's a card deck, hand looks like a duck's beak from the radio "Satumaa" sounds like fruits falling from trees rolling down on the patio to find a man and woman circling each other's bulb like...

The family next door has four active boys. They’re all under six, they make lots of noise. A neighbor saw the mother was worn out, offered to take them for a...

Beauty appears as different things to different people It may be the reaching up of a towering steeple Or something pleasing to the eye Like blending blues up in the sky It may be a person simply being A beautiful thing worthy of seeing Or a person deciding to let someone go Because of their love the other may grow A memory...

Observing a Cliche From a Rocky Promontory
Above the heat the sky is flecked with ice. The sun is no longer burning, it’s a ghost lamp swept by the rags of a coat-tailing wind. There it is - arriving out of a hazy distance a living cliché, a Bald Eagle It must have caught a thermal. I think of all the medallions and coins it has been stamped and embossed upon; here...

Premium Member Observing Leopard
Leopard looks solidly relaxed Reposing in the top of his tree Using binoculars, I marvel at his beauty. Or her beauty, there is a regal magnificence about her I wonder if she senses she is being watched. As she licks her paws I get a weird feeling that she does not. But then she stops and stares straight as an arrow...
