Summer In Wild AbandonPOTD
Tipping the light with curves arched
and flowing with rain,
she mounts her tinseled limbs
on summertime's crest--
The trees, seeds, and flame
in her eyes lightly open
the fingertips of near August.
Quick to beat on belly drums,
her shadow trance melts
the liquid stars in one tender rush...

Tornado is an Enraged Volatile Angry WomanTornado is an enraged volatile angry woman
Joplin never saw her coming; until she was upon them
Her path was a mile wide and twenty miles long
Was she seeking revenge? Angry with all humans?
We will never know, but she did unbelievable damage.
Joplin, Missouri lost many lives that day.
Four thousand homes were destroyed.
I cannot fathom the horror of...

blank page needs feedingEvery word is a choice
The notebook page is hungry
She needs verbs
Her blank page excites me
Verbs are my favorites too
I give her a teaspoonful of jumping, dancing, and twirling
She gulps that down with gusto
Gives me a nod
I feed her a tablespoon of whirling, skipping and hopping
Followed by a cup of adjectives
I like her to have a...

the storm was not satisfied yetThe storm sneaked into the valley
She had no forethought of what she might do
But the more she thought about the town
And what they had done to her trees
The angrier she became
These morons had cut down almost every tree around her meadow
There was no windbreak, so she figured they deserved an EF5
She came in quietly, just...

It's my one-dimensional redesign.

Fractured EdenThe Earth opens her mouth,
but only smoke escapes.
No words—just the long exhale
of something dying too slowly.
She once spoke in green—
a dialect of leaf and wing,
of rivers fluent in direction.
Now, her language is static and flame.
We stitched motorways across her skin,
called it progress.
Drilled into her marrow,
called it wealth.
Even silence has texture—
ask the glaciers, ask the bees.
She...

Mother, MisunderstoodThe Earth, before she was Earth,
was a quiet thought in the mind of a sleeping star.
She dreamed herself into being—
slowly, like moss inventing time,
or like a sigh deciding to become wind.
She did not begin with thunder.
She began with loneliness.
Molten, aching, raw—the way hearts are
before language finds them.
Her first lovers were chaos and gravity.
She learned the...

Past TenseThere’s a small committee in my brain,
chaired by Regret and Vice-Chair Shame.
They meet on Tuesdays, drink Earl Grey,
and critique my past like a tragic play.
There’s Memory #12 in a velvet vest,
who insists on narrating when I try to rest.
He rewinds my words in slow-motion tone,
highlighting each “should’ve” I should’ve known.
Memory #48 wears stilts and screams,
turning...

Clouds Talking To Me"Pretty clouds filled with water, then it rains down." By Poet
I love to sit and watch the clouds,
as they dance across the big blue sky.
If I watch and wait what will I see,
animals like a zoo walking by.
One day I ask a big bright white cloud,
where are you going?
I was shocked when it answered back,
off...
