Contrasts

The world has plunged into a 9 to 5 horror show. Fortunately, Halloween draws near, a time when our ‘better angels’ may appear.

Scarlet sun peeks through a slit in darkling storm clouds. Butterflies go home. Sky meets sea at plum border as pink moon trails, in order.

Binary Or Blurred

Prodigal contrasts with frugal,
As we all know.
The contrast is binary, to be sure.
Or…is it blurred—now that
The roles may reverse at any time?

contrasts
take advantage
of seeming separation
to create images
imaginings of life
and of death and
sometimes the
imagining of the 
emptiness of these
contrasts

stilled contrasts
    in solar segments,
rise then fall-
diminish
the presence 
              of time..
as 
    I
       wait...

then are 
            refreshed..

Premium Member Beautiful Contrast

Far across the land
Is a snow covered mountain
A sharp sight amidst blue skies
Beyond the river
Where the white, mountain is seen
Contrasts with last autumn leaves

The Disposable Age, For the Aged

The silence of the morning work bells
contrasts the roar of modified Black Marias
to the old and infirm perilously weakened by the virus
it was the sound
of the start
of the beginning
of the end.

Out of This World Confusion

Angelic beauty contrasts - disguised evil
For goddesses, hot, intensified jokes - kinda lullaby...mourning
Nurtured opaque planet - query,resolution...seeking
Tortured unfairly - violent
Waiting exemplify your zest.

Premium Member He is not a monarch

He is not a monarch
Possibly an inquisitive moth
His black lines are distinct, drawn on by a heavy marker
reddish orange body contrasts with miniscule white dots
He stays around a bit, curiously watching our discomfort

Writing we learn,

Poetry is innate -- 

Writing has rules -- 

Poetry a more
Spiritually ticked
Hot-wire of ambient
Expression -- 

Writing explains
And tunes the body 
Ego -- 

Poetry spit-shines the
Soul….
