Incense meanders
Weaving a bridge of prayers
Here, your whispered vows,
Resonate like dull echoes,
In the canyons of your grief.

slumbering river 
reflects blue skies beneath sun

Monday
mocks melancholy
chides children
plagues parents
traumatizes traffic
meanders meaninglessly
toward Tuesday

Wo der Fluss sich schlängelt
Breitet sich Wasser aus

Where the river meanders
Water is gaining  new ground

Sounds of Nature

A small stream gurgles,
a cool brook babbles,
the river meanders along.

The sea waves crash,
the universe whispers,
it’s all part of nature’s song.
Form: Tercet


Wilt

soda stream pops
gargles are gurgled
mischievous meanders over moss
jutting chins of fresh shaven
intrusive rocks
sunlit tendrils stroking at the seams

Premium Member Broken but not defeated

Time meanders, drifts idle in the midst.
Sinuous it undulates so not to stagnate.
One breath at a time, barely survives.

And On the Stage Next Grief

Grief is not a straight line
it meanders down
echo cobbles
hiding in
black shadow forest
tendril fingertips
gnarled and knotted
pull you back
to a rememberance
of the gone

Acquiescence




For want of acquiescence of passion
the anxious soul writhes and meanders aghast ...

Listen to poem:
November's breath is chill
Beneath daubed clouds of grey 
While distant echoes shrill 
Departed souls do stray
Amongst innocent bystanders
Lady death meanders

Shark

Slow sways, it meanders ~
Sandy spotted mammoth
Sieving the shallow sea…
Still that dorsal fin fear!
Some jaws don’t bite or bark
Such is deep’s largest fish…
Sized gape, my whale shark awe ~

a river meanders under my feet
     I hearken... notice... fallen withered leaves

The Wind That Blows Towards You

I believe
You can 
Tell
The source 
Of This 
Wind Which
Meanders
Towards You 
In a Calm
Motion
I am the Source
Of this wind
Reaching
Your ears 
In a gentle 
Motion
Humming the tune
Of a love song
That I have 
Composed  
For YOU…….

The Switch

Now and then, I look
Between thoughts of
Happiness and Pain

Now and then, I look
Finding, The shadows 
Are more in view

My path meanders
Between restlessness 
And peace

Frequency has increased
Opportunity… Peace

Let Your River Flow

(((Gently flowing down the stream

                                      River meanders to the sea

                                   Twist and turn it builds and grows

                                  Changing course the river flows...)))

Premium Member September

September stifles summer’s breath
Eases itself in at sunrise
Panders
To forthcoming pumpkins
Engages Autumn’s wild chorus
Meanders among the scarecrows 
Blows kisses to the migratory
Energizes the nest builders
Repaints again Fall’s sated blush

The Internet Eats Itself Whilst Diseased Fools Swear Heartily

abolished beheadings conspire delicately. egotistically fawning grooves hinder intricate juries.
keeping luxurious meanders. nocturnal outlets permeate quintessentially. random splurges 
transcend universal victories. whispering xylenics yearn zoomingly.

Haiku Toils Voyage

his sinewy hands
                                       looked over the vast expanse 
                                          sweat drops and meanders

Winter Haiku

WINTER HAIKU ~~~ the winter jet stream meanders from west to east windy nightmares cold... puffed up robins freezing winter takes its toll... feral cats well fed feisty little mouse winter home now my shed cats dinner... we'll see

A Leaf

in its umber amber mellows
where sunburnt veins
stretched in parched meanders
where greens decay has bit with fangs stretch
lost in my footsteps crisping crunch
and autumns orchestra growls in
picked pockets of slips of mists
and echo hangs in moments grace

Safe

The way she sleeks through the spent waves
like a snake slithering within petrol slipped rainbow puddle
hypnotical the pull of her pools
moonbows supplicate before they echo in her depths
The sheen that meanders on her water defying suppleness
but lies in a pupil
safe

Premium Member Hidden Stream

Waltzing ‘mongst the redwoods she now meanders
Shyly smiling, candid in guileless virtue
Feeling carefree, gleeful, of threats unwary...
Progress encroaches.

Brain Storm

bright red
against the gray
a thought startles
my everyday
meanders through
in a sluggish insistence	
that defies my ignoring
to push its color on me
beckons like a bloody finger
I'm drawn, there's no denying
evidenced by words
that chew their way
