A perfectly shaped red rose,
Gilded by the dew.

weeping branches grace the wind--

Vagrant thoughts
Hang about the corners
Of my mind
Idly tormenting each other
Daring
At least one
To take hold
Take shape
Cast a shadow
On the unknown.

interrupted
by catastrophic silence
quiet…do you hear it
solitude-bells ring, index
on a bibliothec’s lips
a gesture with no point
butterfly-sand shut up
in the hourglass

A marriage once in mint condition,
now besmirched; fallen into decay
Entangled in the meshes of infidelity;
"other woman" leads husband astray

Leaves mulch to refresh the podzolic earth.
Cold air stimulates buttercups and crocus bulbs
Children pray for an elusive snow day!
The winter brings in the new year, refreshing life.
Avian migration brings new visitors to the bird feeder.
Warm drinks can be enjoyed...again.

Do the western USA people ever hear the word pogonip?
Cardinal is my moniker
I care not
Words are nothing
My tweet is pleasant.
Fresh birdseed in the feeder.
Succulent worms came out last night
I got them quickly
Slurped them up next to the marigolds
Night crawlers are so tasty
I preen as the dark ones come near
Looking for my mate
The hunt delicious
This is enough to satisfy me

Oh Mary Lou
I’m so glad I know you.
I haven’t a clue
why I admire you.
Everything you do
makes me want you more.
You are someone I adore.
Would life be worth living for
if I didn’t see you anymore?
There’s one thing I implore:
Please don’t ever leave me.
You’re the one I want to see.
You set my soul free.
I want you beside me
until eternity.

Wishing time could just stand still
Divine perfection in every moment
Tonight’s unparalleled emotion shared
Frozen to be remembered for all times

February Valentine, let’s celebrate
Olive Garden we both rank first-rate.
Past fifty years we review
old love birds, brand-new.
Head to head,
true
vows re-said.
Two lovers break through
the next fifty we’ll pursue
toasting a wedding on the same date.
February Valentine, let’s celebrate.

Writing Challenge, the Andaree
Andaree is a form created by Andrea Dietrich.
The depraved man has been dispatched
But he leaves behind his spawn
And some of the dreadful plans he hatched.
The evil still lives on.
Our heros stand tall night and day
In protection of the The USA.

Constance did not think it worth even an hm.
Of course this was right after he had been killed. Maybe the impact not so strong now.
Endless is God's breath
Everlasting His gift of life
Infinite are His years
Eternal He so cares
Boundless are his dares
Limitless receives our prayers
Bottomless pit from hell
Unbroken hearts grace saves
Endless is His forgiveness, endless are His days, Hallelujah! - Selah

The Arizona Monsoons strike once again
Violent light crashing up towards the sky
Purple cloud chemistry flashes so colorful
Bolts of spider webs splash through the night
A tumultuous sky flares with charged energy
That can strike down with certain death
Watching safely indoors but still hold my breath

(B)right sunshine paints the snow
(E)nlightening visions come alive
(A) winter day brings striking beauty
(U)nveiling the light in my soul
(T)rees bring delicate shadows
(I)nviting me to walk with stillness
(F)orging through trouble, calmly
(U)nderstanding winter’s message

Theme word Chosen: Beautiful
she was not
the prettiest of birds
dull plumage
quite plain
no voice to speak of
but she knew
she had something
to contribute
to this big world
destined somehow
for greatness
before dawn
every day she awoke
and right on cue
would show up
to do her best
whatever that meant
she’d be there
to not miss her chance

Chantelle Anne is my poetic friend,
our friendship will never ever end;
we both like poems quite dark,
she is my own meadowlark ...
and I pray our lives will always blend !

"Give me coffee and no one gets hurt" Jim Davis's Garfield, the cat
I just woke up; it’s coffee time.
I’ve craved strong brew for fifty years.
With flavored creamer—Umm, sublime!
I just woke; it’s coffee time.
I’d lose my rhythm and my rhyme
without this serum that endears.
I just woke up; it’s coffee time.
I’ve craved strong brew for fifty years.
