Short Shad Poems

Shad Coll 
It’s about collecting shadows
The woman’s dad died
She gained another shadow
It descended upon her
Dark cloud cliché
One of many...

A million thoughts,
A shad to grey,
I’m bound my passion,
Wherein I lay,

My eyes are blind,
I see with touch,
The heat begins,
And crave so much,

A lasting hour,
I scream for more,
To won’t let go,
Ignite the spore,

Our beating blood,
Combines to sweat,
Discovering who,
Our souls have met....

lily pad floats 'pon
shallow pond, roots deep....
spot before disemboguement

baby fish touch roots, nibble
enjoy safety, shade
shad shows silver sides

waterlily sends
a flower up to praise sun....
dragonfly above

Schools of fish in this lake seem to hold a fest
Fishes of all sorts swim in an august zest 
Shining in spotted, striped, silver, and gold vest
Schools of fish in this lake seem to hold a fest
Carp, cod, hake, jack, shad, and sole in blest best jest
Flexing and gliding through the calm water crest
Schools of fish in this lake seem to hold a fest
Fishes of all sorts swim in an august zest

~a sea gull’s swift flight
      over waves, shadow as kite 
         last catch before night 

~choppy waves reflect
      birds of sea by light inspect
         dead fishes’ bisect

~shad fish seek cover
      fish schools shield each the other
         surrogate mother

~ocean waves relent
      light of day energy spent
         sea smells of salt scent 

For and in honor of Carol Brown
And contest: What’s The Buzz...

It Would Be So Great
If she could feel
It Would Be So Great
If she had a strong will
It Would Be So Great
To avoid the hate
It Would Be So Great
If shad a little hope
It Would Be So Great
If she hadn't lost faith
It Would Be So Great
Not to get lost in a mental state 
It Would Be So Great
To find herself again
It Would Be So Great
If she had true friends
It Would Be So Great
If you know who you are?
