Solemnity of Silence

Only silence
                      ponders... the others
                      repeat words...
                      Obey orders !

in dark home, queen ponders snow

the ignorant does everything without thinking ... !

Stillness of the night 
Ponders the wisdom of life

Encapsulated through years
Enlightening the lost soul

Premium Member A Raven Ponders

A black bird ponders.  Wind suddenly blows. 
Below on the ground, autumn leaves swirl.    
She gave him a letter. He gave a rose.   
A raven has all the time in the world.

Doubter

I am who I am
a thinking mine
who questions
who ponders and probes
and who knows what else

Do not measure
me by the same book
you drop on others'
well-meaning heads.

No News

She ponders the late evening paper
looking for some reason to smile,
but its only a caper
that catches her eye, while
even the funnies
are too boring.
Its boob tube
snoring
time.

Koala the Australian version of. “The Thinker”, sits high. Ponders the spicy tang of his next meal then, he’ll sleep for hours. People gawk at him, as he munches eucalyptus.

Sweet Thoughts

If cherry blossoms were hope 
Gathered in a fragrant offering 
To restore faith 
We may restore our cherished dreams 
As pretty as blossoms are to behold 
With ponders of sweet Thoughts 
Of things to come.

Newborn

Skin that has yet to be burned by the sun
A voice so new, words have yet to touch
Eyes that shine bright with wonder
A mind that endlessly ponders 
Thoughts that have yet to be molded 
My newborn son you truly are golden

As Night Deepens

Sijo 4. 

          I wonder why as night deepens/my heart ponders from the fear
                is it because a raven/kept flapping his jet-black wings  
              flew off cawing in the air/over the moonlight flooded hills

Wander

as you wander
my heart ponders
wondering if you'll wander this way

no longer putting meaning
in what I am reading
cause I know it is not about me

no matter how much I want to believe
it never was or never will be
about me

99 Cents

When the dastardly woman Helena
Arrives to collect our souls
And cast them into the lake of purgatory,
She ponders whether she shall find
The soul of a young, zealous woman
Worth more nickels of eternity,
Than the areolas of a haughty bastard?
Form: Verse

Plume

Through the Autumn storms
Blue children with seeming smiles
sings to the Angels
To the everglades
the children play
in the cove of the cave
Like bedrock
They are raised on hope
Solitude ponders the darker hues
feed by paths unexplored

Premium Member Sarrow

You say that sorrow passes

Like the tides moving in and out

But the mind keeps me guessing

How the sorrow came about

To live in constant wonder

To be fair is not the life I need

But the mind constantly ponders

If the heart truly bleeds.

Premium Member Animal Antics

A foursome of squirrels wait
As the turkeys on three
Putt out.


The pond ripples
As the lone goose
Ponders his choice


Dog park spaniels run free
Their owners
Left holding the bag


A window cat
Salutes the sun
Feline yoga

Premium Member One More Boat Ride

Out on the ocean drifting, alone 
Thinking about- "His long and wonderful life" 
But with every wave pain he endures seeps deeper  
While sounds of the white caps help him to forget
The moon turns the tide to high before dark  
And so, he ponders; it's time...and he jumps!

Premium Member Teddybear Dreams

My teddy-bear stayed in toyland
when I out-grew childish things
He stayed there in carefree moments
and lives on in make believe dreams

Alone on the bed he ponders
He heaves up his shoulders and wonders
Looking and longing for childhood
that can never return again.

Reflections In the Sky

Reflections in the sky
Of days gone past
Clouds of yesteryear
Time goes by ever so fast

Floating on forever’s road
A lost soul wanders
Looking to the future unknown
While the golden sky ponders

A restless heart
Yearns for release
As visions of sunshine
Bring happiness and peace
Form: Rhyme

Slp

Thoughts.  they twist, turn, and travel,
in a passing pretentious place as one ponders
crying, climatic, charismatic, characteristics containing to you.
Delightedly  doubtful, declining due to direct disbelief 
So subtle these thoughts are saying surely yet slowly sleep. 
Sleep 
Just sleep

Premium Member Beneath the Calm

Listen to poem:
in the far distance
serenity on the surface
his strength precarious
he harbors within more
questions than answers
as he ponders the intricacies
of his balancing act
of the silence deep within
of the roar of this silence
he can no longer subdue
