Eyelashes

A petal falls down on the ground

brushing her eyes like a white bouquet---

and she pivots along a bay

till night's lashes ebb, curling  around.

Premium Member Wordsworth Pivots

rabid bard 
perforce
binds 
untethered reins
of a supple wit 
excising 
the ornate quills
head lowered
body tilts
into commas
whittling lyrics 
through his swivet

Premium Member Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Distort of sounds strum his bow —sawed heart rhythms,
mischievous fool impels my mind's rapt boredom.
The devil's finger warns and pivots, sedates,
adrift among alleged stolen dreamscapes.
The jester sleeps all day, perplexed I awake.

Mutual

Pasty delicacy
demands protection
since succulent
taunts beasts
roaming wilderness
gripped by hunger

until revelation
pivots the victim
aggressive arguing
defensive while
harnessing feral
hungers unwieldy

with megatons
securing leverage
against savage
hidden wandering
enemies disguised
behind amity.

Premium Member Taking Care


The wind
has blown hard all day
and pivots torn leaves
around wounded trees.
It possesses no pity
but follows a mindless
command to play out
its might.

The world is so.
Regardless
it goes its way
and blinds with both
beauty and disease,
pauses a living breath 
to marvel at creation
or stops it dead
by an accident. 

Faced 
with such vagaries,
with suffering,
with no answers,
what is there to do
but care.

Three Legged Table

I am three legged,
I am balanced,
It’s a mystery,
I sit in a dim-lit room.

I bear the sage's books,
Where he scripts his thoughts,
The monsters that stare through his window,
The gloom that pervades the meadow.

I am three legged,
The unseen pivots me,
The unknown trestles me,
I'm in a library of the deep.

I am a door into the day,
Prop and support along the way,
The sage takes off on my plane,
Nightfall embraces me.

Premium Member Sunday Morn Breaks

~ Sunday morn breaks ~

Sunday morn breaks cool and crisp
   In my son's step there is a new zip
Although the sun takes its time
   To burst through oak, maple and pine

As he strides toward the woods
   The road's bursting with goods
Lilacs, violets and sunflowers
   With Nature's beneficence showered

He pauses to stretch, to sigh, to inhale
   Fragrance's freshness filling lungs' sails
Abruptly pivots ~ jumping for joy
   How lucky to be a young boy

Premium Member Pattern Maker

The pattern maker measures his guest
neck, shoulders chest, and breast, 
arms, back, wrist, waist, hips, 
pivots for darts on a block bodice 
drafts designer dupe requested
a choice rose-beige mini is invested
on paper made of parchment
a muslin fabric fit first garment

The dressmaker sews the formal
zig zags seam ends, snips as normal
finishing floral, attaching appliques,
the courtier knock off is complete        
I get out the chips and merlot
It’s time for the fashion show
