The spade bites down, a silver fang—
its hunger for the perfect tower, the moat that swallows everything.
I build my kingdoms grain by grain,
while tide rehearses its collapse again.
Outside the classroom
Sun and cloud dapple the vale
Thrush rehearses triple phrase
The while overhead
Lark ascends in descant stream
Studies the Elysian scene

Contest: Bite sized poem No.4
Ever read the superior verse of the gurus?
For this prepare anon before it be too late,
Or they overtake you the wheels of fate;
A guru rehearses behind the translucent curtains
Till its fully baked the dough of verse;
Will you miss this gala, so monstrous?

Fog uncorks wet cedar perfume,
then pours it through each waiting lung
where moss rehearses nameless years
and bark remembers rain by scent—
until my breath is not my own
but loam translating root to blood,
as earth inhales itself through me
and leaves with my remembered breath.

**********
The sun withdraws its gilded hand,
orchards lean into shadow’s hush,
cicadas falter in their hymn.
Leaves rehearse their brittle descent,
the sea forgets its warmth of June,
a chill rehearses in the grass—
and summer folds into memory.
That constant exercise within our head
Where ceaselessly we ponder-
But naught is ever said
Our soundless voice imprisoned
within the jailer mind
Knit picks, rehearses, warns,
and is with us all the time.
From the moment we awake at dawn,
Until shadows creep
across each darkened lawn
When finally, we seek our quiet
in the cave of sleep
Alas, to find that never-ending thinking
Crawls into the dreams we reap.
PRECARIOUS REALITY
insistent
incoherence
deplaced
broken
as coloured
confetti
surmounted
pierces
the soul
with anguish
&
rehearses
nothing
THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived
Mirror,
You betray me with your cruel precision.
You hold my face hostage in your glass prison,
shattering me into reflections that no longer recognize themselves.
I have begged you for honesty,
yet you pour hallucinations across my skin—
a thousand mouths whispering,
a thousand eyes unblinking.
Once, I thought you were truth.
Now I know you are only a stage,
where light rehearses the trick of permanence.
When you break,
I will gather your shards and drink them like bitter wine.
