FIRE
In the beginning, it was a wildfire. The first humans to witness fire on Earth could not bear just to watch. There was no word for fire yet. It illuminated the night and roasted the flesh of beasts. When I began writing poetry, books were burning. Lightning struck, and flames spread. As I watched, I felt the urge to kindle fire myself. There was no word for poetry yet. I could walk outside at...

Premium Member Pride in Their Hair
Be dark or fair, folk have pride in their hair Although often hair leads one to despair Finding it's tousled and tied up in knots after sleeping upon one's precious locks. Or when hair has been lovingly blow-dried Getting caught in the rain and tears are cried For you and me hair’s our crowning...

Premium Member Tart Candied Viator
A basket full of apples, an assortment of flavor. Wide plethora to pick from, maybe that is the problem. This is far too much to ask, a basket full of apples. By nature not gluttonous, decisions hard decisions. Tart, candied, a bit of both. Which bite will truly fill me? A basket full of apples, I only want to eat one. Scent rolling off...

As a kid my hair was a very easy fix, just pull it back with a rubber band into a ponytail. As a teen a ponytail was not going to work, off to the hair shop with picture in hand. I sat in the chair and said, I want to look like this picture. I sat dreaming about my great new...

Premium Member Letters Of Divorce
With these rings, we said, "I do," Never planned to play the fool. Too young to grasp loves weight, Too blind to heed its rules. We were D—drifting, never devoted. We were I—insensible, inconsiderate. We broke our Vows, splintered trust. We were O—reckless, outrageous. We were R—tangled, bitter root. We were C—careless, never committed. We were E—estranged, unraveling fast. A word we swore would never be...

Premium Member My Hectic Hair History
There’s a nadir of personal despair - In feminine terms it’s - No hair, no flair! My hairy genes caused me lifelong distress, I longed for a look I didn’t possess. I daydreamed of golden locks as a girl, Blessed with neither a wave nor with a curl. Straighter than hay mine hang in disarray, Cradle to coffin -...

The Curious Coif
Enigmatically stubborn to style, the coif Some days it can be easily pulled off Other days it requires an exorcism Like Zoolander it can look like ‘Magnum’ Hides my receding hairline like a charm Sophistication to my head’s yardarm Its antidote is a very windy day Requiring heavy doses of hairspray When it works my lady wants to stroke it I recoil in fear,...

a line drawn in the sand of time plucked from the depths of my mind’s eye curled edge of what’s real what’s not that line that never should be crossed plucked from the depths of my mind’s eye things we’ll forgive but not forget built an imaginary fence washed away by tides yet lingers curled edge of what’s real what’s not distinguishing what’s...

Flames swallow oxygen, duplicitous in their deeds, circumventing steel barriers— steel barriers doubling over. Ashen soot cakes the walls; walls crumble, interlacing with soot. Pyres of fire lick the night sky; crimson smoke suffuses the air. Breathing in microparticles, microparticles sticking to fibrous membranes— breathing collapses. Lit match—ignition, cinders glow. ...

TOUCH OF NOCTURNAL VELVET
A cascade, shimmering, of rivulets that undulate, Metaphor thalassic, richly blending at the pate. Each silhouette of vitality, speaking with gentle weight, On shoulders resting, an adornment, delicate. Where inky depths meet sun-kissed golden thread, Fair skin and russet lips, a harmony well-bred. On sloping lids, where emerald hues are spread, Completing thus, a visage subtly, richly said. Every filament, a void of...

My hair is a whimsical canvas my crown It’s so versatile pinned up or flowing down An expression of my natural creativity Hair is a blessing of my femininity Sometimes I let the pillow style it Go with the flow wearing my wild wit In this way my hair is a cocoa cloud All soft and fluffy unruly truly proud Sometimes...

watching a naked flame with its flickering orange hues warms the cockles of the heart reminiscing of scenarios that were never realised— . crickets rub their legs together in a serenade the friction required - relentless like firesticks necessary for survival in the bush a crackling fire within me an unquenchable longing … . a once in a blue moon occurrence my recall of events drifts into the...
