Since brevity’s the soul of wit,
I briefly might contend
That mine sure has that brief part down:
I’m always at its end.

After Reading Some Chinese Poetry

Wandering freely,
Cheerfully pacing the void,
Coming and going --
Even candles in the wind
Briefly shed light on the path.

American Idol

You had me briefly careening
towards that crooning
but your excessive preening
and secret self-loathing
won an abrupt ending

Her eyes can be seen
Briefly in quick glimpses
Sitting high and safe
What is it the child asks
Our hoot owl friend, I reply.

some people's life
his mind is every moment on it
his life depends on him

Sadness


Sometimes
there is a certain sadness
that wells up from depths
too deep to name and briefly
settles in the souls of children.

Burning Paper

Charred edges
Slowly curl inward,
Like a hand closing into a fist.
Flames bounce
Briefly as they encroach
Upon the last remaining
Shred.

Drawn

My eyes are drawn to you.
Your eyes are drawn to me.
Briefly, we sketch each other,
sadly, neither of us can draw.

The awakening of Spring
Dies down in Summer

The crisp tanginess of Fall

Neron burns Rome without mercy

pine trees lash and sway
in spring’s gusty williwaw,	
briefly turbulent
sun rays burn reluctant mists
into multicolored bow

no bridge
your eyes are a deep cliff
to be wingless
do you know,this is not a problem
when you close your eyes to me

which rock will I hold

Septolet

Eyes
meet briefly
as we dance
with another.

Cheeks

disclose secret desires.

For hearts which far apart do dwell
together they entwine briefly,
yet words of intensity tell
of a desire so profoundly.

Premium Member I am Yellow

iconic sunrise
I wear no disguise,
really.
as do butterflies,
earth, I colorize
freely.
golden moon full-size
lulls school bus allies
briefly.

Briefly Noted

There was a young man from China
Who couldn't think of anything finer
Than to smoke cigarettes and play with his pets 
And eat out at an all night diner

Sentimental Scars

Sentimental scars
Hurt so much more
Than these physical blemishes
I’d rather bleed briefly
And heal with a scratch
Than bleed forever
And never be repaired

We Are

We are but moonbeams
  cast from an eternal light,
    on the crest of small waves--
      flickers in vast oceans of time
       each one shinning so briefly.

Briefly and calmly...

Once upon this time
Very very short story
I wrote the end here.

Need I say more then?

We Wish Light Snow

We don't just wish
         the drought of the wilderness...
         Always always....
       We also wish snow
        snow... light
        even briefly...
