  that deserve a kinder fate
If they'd only meet resistance

Poems flit across my mind;
And I must softly cast my net
To keep the powder on their wings....

The lines blur
As dark clouds flit
Where the gull’s cry
Sounds no longer
In the waters murk
The god wrath rises

especially the shaming ones
forever and forever
sometimes barely recognizing them
as they flit through our mind
the moment of death...

under morning sun

from tree to tree, nest to nest

hundreds of birds flit

oblivious to the chill

there is frost on my windshield

dim blue-gray backdrop
dark etched shapes move or stand still 
tree branches extend
bend out like roots in the sky
star-like fireflies flit across

By the bulrushes,
Where darting blue dragonflies
Flit like neon sparks,    
Hover flies pause and patrol,
In the drunken summers haze,
We sat fishing by the lake....

Faeries and flowers feeling it
Butterfly love
Sweet angels watching from above
Dragonflies flit a little bit

truthful admissions
daisies flit through brain
a calm takes over

sense of humors 
laugh together
with not at people

comfortable together
unafraid 
idealism in love form...

The mist lifts her skirts
Wisps, tufts, half-ghosts
flit across dawn's lake..
  pausing
  suspended mid-race
  peering at the shoreline...
Fearful, they sail off
chased away 
to nowhere...

The clock
                  tick  tack,
                   slowly flows...
                    time
                   nonstop
                   steadily
                    so flits .. !...

Like this puddle
left after a summer rain.
A flock of small birds
comes to flit, flutter,
and splash in its coolness.
Tomorrow it will be gone,
pulled away by fierceness
of the summer sun....

as harsh toil drains existence
the loft of moontide invites
sweet assurance from eve’s flit
cradling my  own space

Its ok
to read a poem silently
let the words flit about the soul 
like ember glow
or hummingbird wings. 
Read a poem silently
read it slow-seductively
let the words breathe
like spring rain....
