An Act of Love

An act of true love
He fingered his breast pocket
A genuflection
Love letter sheds pure tears
Echoes heard across the years

Premium Member POISED AND WAITING

Piously sitting
In saintly genuflection,
Faithfully waiting:
Sage, long legs, prayer-like bent: 
Waiting for prey to pass by:-

Chester on stage holding a high note - how will he bring it down? Some screams from girls as he brings it down, and "E", the note, brings genuflection.

A PIOUS PACHYDERMIC POSE
             (A Haiku Duo)

Big head, knees, and legs;
A huge body, kneeling, as if
In genuflection:-

Long ivory-bound trunk,
Graciously bent down, as if
In pious prayer:-
Form: Haiku


Premium Member Morning Eyes

window frames genuflection
eyes closed
reflection of colortones
bold and bright, bent
by early morning light, praise
of knobby oaks
like a rising thicket of fog
noticed only by specularity
of a poet’s repose

Premium Member Fire Does Not Discriminate

Fire does not discriminate. She treats us all equally.
She consumes everything in her path – wood, cotton, linen.
Leaves gray and black smoldering devastation behind.

Popping and crackling, she inches up like a snake.
Trees, houses, sheds, garages, churches, shudder and fall.
Bowing to her majesty, as she races past, ignoring their genuflection.

All war is unjust

All war is unjust


You celebrate your murderers like they won you a war
And what for?  Is my question.  Do you pass inspection?
No genuflection; no halo you own.
You gun down the innocent and gnaw on their bones,
Like the savages you are, you fallen stars,
Are dead to me.  I see such glee.
Oh the pain you reap.
Your just reward, for an unjust war,
For all are…is a silver star on your heart.

Premium Member A Butterfly Mind

charismatically gifted
 in  conceptual leaps 
  expressions
opening 
          a doorway 
to destiny

moments in time 
           stumato,
from a butterfly mind

 scattered 
with unfinished masterpieces 
of imagination 

 drawings chalked& charcoaled 
with tonal modulation
the inner person
 portrayed 
face on
    in ambivalence
profiles turned to the light
 display emotional depth
through the genius
 of genuflection 
       with touch & sensibility

Premium Member Island God

ISLAND god

By allowing us to suffer
                                      Pain
                                          Consequences 
                                                           Reality

Bearing down on humble ground
We find our way
To heaven’s gate

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Given perfection, no reflection, no genuflection
We become gods with dire direction

A smoke-filled room
No chance of escape
The ultimate place
For the island god
