Premium Member The Walnut Tree

Once summer green
then Autumn gold
bedecked this ancient tree-
Today silhouette laid bare
misletoed in winter frieze.


Premium Member A Dislodged Honeycomb

A honeycomb dislodged 
By a hurled pebble
One too many angry bees bothered!

Premium Member Alone

Standing alone
in the center
of it all……
muttering
to a passing
breeze
	…….“stay”.

Creation's Turn

Alone at the crossroads again,

a bug trapped in a jar,

I watch by Her window

for a world that refuses to appear.

Mist

The mist,
Dances,
like ballerina heels,

It kisses,
The fountains,
And irises,
Bows and sways on
Reynaldo Casison

     becoming
     the thing
     she sees
     elasticity
     she sees
     becoming

Premium Member Tension

nuggets of 
wisdom
mined 
from 
the
crucible 
of the 
misshapen
slumped figure
in 
the
disconsolate
wheelchair

Gore

Lichens of lion's lore,

incipient and trying to score-

ditch it and die in the core,

stick it right in the horse.

Cheap Dreams

cheap dreams
never face 
sleepless nights

endless effort
finds realization
driving the dream

Premium Member The Day Yawns, Stretches

The day yawns
stretches...
like a flower
petals upturned
ghostlike vapors
drift away
Bullfrogs croak
My dog slumbers

How Comes Sick Music

Birds in exchange 
of words 
towards their kins 
We hear them as music

Premium Member A Blue Tanka

re-post inspired by Janis contest

a single owl screech
breaks the silent
November night-
the Hunters moon
waxes blue

Nowhere

I,
Running 
From here                                                                 to there
But getting nowhere.

Premium Member Have You Seen Him

Hollow eyes
Sagging skin
Wounds undressed
Ashes strewn about
                his feet
A tremor 
     sunders his lips

The Road

Aimless

Pointless

Road to nowhere

We go 
Lower

Every single day

Every step we make

No end

Empty space

Bottomless pit

Premium Member Abandoned Marionette

Strings severed
No more dancing
Can't dance
Useless
Lifeless
With two left feet

Summer Fair

Marionettes are manipulated by strings


the red curtain falls down, children laugh

Beautiful woman
Posing
Can't do her justice
Just want her gesture
Her grace
In a line
In a colour
Her essence
Elusive

Ebony tent covers traffic
Glory of God 
Calls forth a gasp
Angel Sun
Peeks over horizon
Announces beauty
White pinkness

night snow
  moccasin silent 
drifts downward
  landing without feet...
smiles in the sunlight
  ~ morning curtains peek

northern lights round the whole earth

would mean earth scaled down to a

tiny black hole 'lost' in space

sin breaks like charcoal under the weight of mercy my hands rise clean, still smelling faintly of smoke

Premium Member Keepsake

a small locket glows in the dust~ faint pulse under its clasp, the memory inside trying to breathe again
