 Tom Sawyer did three somersaults, a back flip, stood on his head

   Becky Thatcher scrolled up and down her device ~ said, 'Go soak your head'...

I tried to say the words
that leapt from my soul
I tried to send the messages
Scrolled with every breeze
I tried to express feelings
New and unknown to me
Never certain you could hear
Leaping, blowing, falling
In the air I breathe
When truth left my lips

1972, Cam Thanh 
her envelope is perfumed and fancy 
an exquisite calligraphy with a flair
exuberant scrolled letters showing her personality
tiny hearts and stars at return address
Young G.I. leans back and smiles, 
remembering his carefree life
before he ended up in this coconut forest
in Viet Nam...

Leprechaun - Version 16.0

A Leprechaun who would not rest
Until achieving his virtual best.
Would look for the gold
As he virtually scrolled
To find his emoji treasure chest.

I reach for you in darkness, hoping to feel you nearby
I look for you in the sparkling stars in the sky
I wrap my wishes securely, without a word told
But, images are created as thoughts are scrolled
In my mind where dreams come alive with a spark
I am no longer invisible or lost in the dark
Your gentle ways are a special gift to be found
I am gratefully enlightened when you are around

Peach colored clouds, were scrolled across the sky
The mountain was fading into twilight
I crossed the bridge where water was calm and I saw birds fly
Underneath the half-moon already shining for the night

The air was perfect, calm, cool and completely still
As the sunset reflected colors, in every direction
With magnificence guiding me back to the hill
Scenic memories now in my mind, a reflection

Across the misty mountains spread
Thoughts that glow in the sights
Of powdered snow that has wed
With the hills that glitter white

To reach the destination high
Hiding behind the clouds for now
To find the answers scrolled in sky
That explain everything somehow

Sometimes sought when all is falling
Feeling lost in the mist, alone
Reaching for one’s calling
On a sparkling path, the sun has shown

Infinity is what we sense
when musing on the vast immense
with universes yet to mold
in starry heavens still untold
awaiting gazers in suspense.

Astronomers of why and whence
search stelliferous pathways dense,
as dreamers dreamily behold
infinity.

The great sidereal events
in views the firmament presents
upon the cosmic canvas scrolled
shall neverendingly unfold
for poets of the future tense
infinity…

I scrolled through some old DMs today,
Conversations once part of me,
Now melted away like molten clay,
Disabled accounts is all I see.

Random musings, fleeting reactions,
Once part of me, now lost,
This moment feels like divided fractions,
Time crawls yet flies, no matter the cost.

Forever fleeting, this life is,
A page in someone else’s nostalgic melancholy.
For tomorrow I will miss this moment,
But I hope I’ll have people to miss.

Unblemished veneer caresses each fold
Glossy sheen with silken strands manifold
Face brimming with rosy hue; underneath satin sheaths scrolled  
Coarse fibers with satiating nutrients doled

My eyes peel each savory layer, delicately kneading each fiber apart   
My nostrils intoxicated by sweet, pungent aroma your core doth impart   
My fingers fondle and swab each, soft, curvaceous part
My lips drivel as the sugary juices from your mellow stalk doth depart...

The October sun beamed down on my face
As the leaves twirled around me, in this place
Shades of blue decorated the sky, above
As I tried to capture a warm glimpse of love
Waiting for me, where trees held color tight
With warm breeze messages sent through the night
Then there it was, up above in my sight
Scrolled by clouds, in wind currents of flight
A splendor of all that I need to know
Wrapped around me, in the sunshine’s glow

Moments passed
Days that took years I gasped
Fragments of yesterday
I skipped and delay

My heart that rolled
From mountain to the ground and scrolled
A wishing heart to touch you again
Missing you, embracing you without pain

Memories you left in me
Accessories I wore and slept with me
Each day I see a smiling sun
Your face in full moon filming, not pun

Time traveled fast
Without you beside me that last
Time will bring you back to me
Your heart and soul hails in me...

Come back and smile your smile again 
The evening air is still
I feel my daily loving pain
The same thing you would feel
If you were me, but happily
You’re at the better place
In better time, for you can see
What’s left of me, what trace
Is there still, waits to be found
You might just look away 
To watch the apples falling down
And you don’t have to say
A single word, for words are said
And many days passed by..
Among the pages, scrolled and read
One page refused to die.
