For a ticked off woman, she’s refreshingly brief;
    a quick, punctuated rage is her leitmotif....

over a broken glass vase
  burst a little boy's heart
pitiable sobs, hiccupped cries
  punctuated by a flow of tears...

stuck inside the clock face
looking out onto green fields
and white cloud punctuated blue skies
minute hand
rhythmically blocking the view...

earth in darkness
punctuated by pinpoints of light
silence of truth
punctuated by lies

cry Calabasas
the ball was dropped way too high

Kittens, papers, purple pens… here’s where I stand, in a sentence, punctuated by time, being had by language.

I’ve an inkling to stutter and stammer
In an effort to subjugate grammar.
For although I love words
I adore the absurd
Punctuated, pauses; tend to, enamour....

a black canvas
punctuated
with spots of gray

a circle
ending
where it began

a scream
in the head
that blinds

a parenthesis
expanding
into infinite erasure

The game of Golf is character building
In the view of certain people
Others are a little more grounded 
And would describe it as a perpetual
Series of unmitigated disasters
Punctuated by an occasional miracle...

A beautiful day
Punctuated by dandelions
Glowing white and gold

Clouds hang up above 
The morning skies turquoise blue
The air, refreshing

Mother Earth smiling
Dressed up in her sunday best
A beautiful day

the pyrotechnic poet explodes in
staccato bursts of precise persephonifications
punctuated by poignant phylacteries
felicitously filleting egregiously erroneous assumptions
accepted by the masses intently exercising
freedom from thought...

Blanketed, 
Smooth paved layers,
Cheese,
Bakes melted goodness,
Layer after layer,
Sunday's,
Punctuated Italian Air,
Ripping crusty bread,
Parmesan shaved against the grater,
The tempo of a good day,
Laughs and wine, 
Family and friends,

My loving layers...

Why?
By: Tom Wright
8/9/2006

In childhood,
The answers we often sought 
were punctuated by a mother’s sigh.

Years later,
With memory tweaked 
This conundrum again we still decry.

Finally our years,
Seared by the winds of time
Reveal the answer to our question why?

Choppy sea below the cliff,
Obdurate ground beneath my feet.
Admiring the landscape,
Stimulating to my senses,
Therapy from nature.
Azure sea that meets the sky,
Lavishly growing heather and gorse
Punctuated between the ferns,
Absolutely beautiful,
Tempting me further along the path,
How I love my walk.

Sweet apocalyptic frailty
seeps from weary sighs

Punctuated words we love
or love-words we despise

Body-rocking self-hatred
that drags us from the light

Idealism, perfection
thieves that rape us in the night

Car wrecks and too much sex
things that make us feel

taint of success, abject failure
things that make us real...

El Capitan - you are a joint
   Within the Sierra Nevadas
Of punctuated granite -
   A sentinel of the ages. 

Sylvestris partition -
   Beam of silver - or steel - 
Are you a step to heaven
   Or a capstone for hell?

Stern expression of peace - 
   Keeper of fortitude - 
Of what would you speak?
   Would I even understand you?...

As the nature dances to the tune of fate

Thus, demise visits us passionately

Perhaps the road was taken

Albeit, it was stolen

 
My driver, conductor, the road masters

Why did death control your unseen foot?

Powering your gear beyond limit?

Punctuated by a bleak nimbus

Exposing your pregnant skulls

To august rain-

… Juntas and unknown chaps?...

The rain trickles from a leaf
Drop by drop
Like punctuated grief
Or the drip
Of empty cup
Draining mercy to the dregs
We live at the edge of fire
So flammable
Our gullible hearts of sin
And so blind
As the forest burns closer
And I
I do not tell again by smoke
The world too acrid, lies
And I
Listening for dripping water
Hear
Mercy merely dripping from a leaf...

You will not abandon me,
but kill me gently
reciting a hymn.

As if the speech was slurred,
after the encounter.
Time. It was not yours, not mine.

Punctuated again in
less moon,
I am searching the frozen lake.

Unuttered gratitude. I
will not submit the ultimate.
Barrier reef was rising.

I sit alone
down the lane.
Waiting for the sunset.

Tonight I just need to hear those words; 
Please calm me with your lyrical 
arrangement that provides me solace; 

A beautiful rhythm brings solace 
within the tone you give your words; 
Such an artist each phrase so lyrical; 

Punctuated with a smile that’s lyrical 
radiating sunshine and solace; 
Whimsical warm composure of words; 

Your words are my lyrical solace....
