Black Pools
The stream never really spoke to you
that was just a misty fantasy
no wisdom or hidden messages...
just a rush of nymphs cackling.
The cells of a stream
are always on the move
the heart of a stream
is always pretty cool
The soul of a stream always lay
at the bottom of black pools.
Dip your burning angst right in
shed the

Pools amassed
I formed in the heavens; they built me in a pure overcast
Concrete looks far too weak to break my fallings contrast
All flower petals decreed a landscape grown to everlast
I will nurture them; in Sun to Moon, this time lines passed
Are you the reapers breaking their stem via fatal dismast?
I will defeat you with relentless moisture

united with demons,
it is difficult for them
to come out of
hell fire pools.

Summer Persists
Our summer fellowships are over! We learned a lot - for instance - how summer’s a lot less fun when you’re hemmed-up, inside working. I mean, we preesh’d the clinical experience, the learning, and especially how good these fellowships will look on our med-school applications - seriously - but there were a hundred rules -

Pools Edge
Warm hands slip and slide, deliriously succinct
in the August heat. Hair’s humid and unkempt.
We head for the pool’s edge and together
we jump in, our laughter bubbles to the surface.
Our buoyant suits rise and salute the sunrise.
Skin to skin collection of vibrant rays and youth.
Fluffy-white clouds make for a perfect day.
The sunstorm with its powerful

Howick Pools
And oftentimes, as in a symphony,
a sound distinct emerges from the waves,
within this cove, this rocky gallery,
strange echoings through a honeycomb of caves.
At times quite muffled, undefined, and then,
with clarity we hear, but only when
the boisterous wind allows a brief respite,
resounding peals of laughter and delight.
The rock pools chiselled out for childhood pleasure,
still resonate, as,

Pools Of Waning Light
The sky prepares itself for the night,
as teabag clouds start slowly steeping
in colored pools of waning light;
and darkness descends like an ebony curtain.
As teabag clouds start slowly steeping,
Luna peeks over the mountain peaks
and darkness descends like an ebony curtain,
across the velvet velour of time and space.
Luna peeks over the mountain peaks,
responding to the allure of

Rock Pools
those waves that hit the sea wall sides
will soon peel back between the tides
to leave their marks along the shore
with ocean’s breath in every pore
then many creatures we don’t know
will cling to rocks and life below
within the depths of shallow pools
in worlds that follow nature’s rules
and while the high tides of the sea
are pushed and

Pools of Longing
Pools of Longing
Sara L Russell, July 9th, 03:11am
That it might come back to me, that sweet sensation,
When i would reach out my arms across the cool light blue ripples
and push off from the side.
Then would i glide
out across the water, as a white crane glides across the sunset,
as a white cloud hurries brightly on

Psalm From the Pools of Faith
Psalm from the Pools of Faith
We are kneeling atop the bottomless
Black pools, our knees riding the tops of spring-green lily pads, our heads bowed, singing out
Above the mirroring waters of our
Faith; our voices rise in Alleluias
Until the very earth rattles, lifting our rejoicing
Up through lead-gray clouds off to meet the stars,
On to far galaxies,

Drowning Spectacularly In Deep Pools of Words
"Drowning Spectacularly in Deep Pools of Words"
“Would you like some soup?” she said
He was being spoon fed
Alphabet code while he sat in his wheelchair
“I’m a whippersnapper”, he said
“There, there,” she said
“Love is in here”, she said
Massaging his heart
the wounds disappeared
“I am a Poet”, he said
“You're Trouble with a capital "T"," she said
"The magic is

Disaster Looming
Disaster Looming
Since this virus
Has come to be,
All unnatural
Happenings we see,
In the store,
Pray it’s not later,
That you find toilet paper!
Hurry! We need more
Everyone’s breaking down the door!
No sanitizers! No bread! No eggs!
No napkins! No paper towel!
No aspirin!
This is a mortal sin!
This is totally unnatural!
Hundreds of thousands
Collecting unemployment,
We have a military deployment!
Companies closing! Gyms closing!

Stagnant Pools
There was no place to wade
in the stagnant pools of Corona.
The virus sank our feet into the mire.
Help was on the way, as we submerged
into the cesspool.

Her Eyes, Pools of Promise Under Bright Stars
Her Eyes, Pools Of Promise Under Bright Stars
Her pillars of flame,mounds of firm delight
naked her beauty,wonderment at night
she a goddess,mankind truly desires
radiant heat,pleasures scorching fires
maiden of youth,true princess to behold
dreams of sweet memories,when one is old.
Her lips, tantalizing and rosy red
gift of passionate joy,in lovers bed
she a queen that offers hope to mankind
born of romance,a

Pools of Water Gleam
The pools of water on the pavement gleam
Reflect the colours of the shops and cars
Giving us a feeling all’s serene
As I walk I wander and daydream
I sit on an old wall, the moss like hair
The pools of water on the pavement gleam
I invent a sentence and a
