Correctional Choreography poem

unforced errors

...In tennis,
Love means nothing.
Off the court,
It’s everything.

    It’s so hard to start
    Brain and pen, poles apart

       Yet two lines in, the pace quickens
       Soon you’re writing like the dickens

    Thoughts stream in and out your head

...Mystic dancer in the firelight,
spinning, swirling as her soul takes flight,
chasing spirits on an astral plane
and catching them to call by name.

Perspiration beads on her skin,

Foreboding

...Foreboding...
The air is thick, too still, too deep,
a hush that lingers, holds its breath,
as if the world itself won’t speak.

Foreboding...
Shadows coil along the walls,

Fractured innocence

...The midnight hour,a lonely road
She walks alone
A ping she hears- it's from her phone:
"Where are you?"Mum asks in a worried tone.

"Almost there",she texts, moving fast,
Not caring how much ti...

Dust Quells What Time Tells

...Dust coats mementos in treasure trove
In a veil that palls recall with a shroud.
It dims the past with repast of neglect,
That taints memories with fading, settling light.
