As I took a mental snapshot of the moon lit night
I thought of my father, as the stars shined bright

revealed his artistic love a lot
He became a bit of a recluse
losing his motivating impetus

Snapshot

Lost in memory; 
Wasted breath and time take toll.
The minds eye, can be so cruel
Snapshots of fading moments;
Laughter and a love long dead.

young lad,

Snapshot

Like snapshots our memories are
Fleeting only in seconds passing 
Rewind to double expose and overlap
Attempts to organize and remember
Flashes by at the end

Tanka For a Child

Sometimes all it takes 

is a snapshot of a child

dripping in blue rain

with ripples of innocence

accompanied by madness.

the memory of yesteryear
distant and discolored

Premium Member Morphed Memory


On wrinkled canvas winter spider 
weaves senility web,  
grief of loss instilled in hedonist psyche. 
Memory morphs into metaphor 
for the past panorama dislodged,
captured in snapshot of narcissist framed.

Premium Member Snapshots

Her tears fill up the ocean, 
life scenes are in slow motion. 
 Each snapshot takes a toll, 
  on her lost and empty soul. 
 As she awaits shapeless train 
  headed to melancholy lane.

Premium Member Ebony Boots

The ebony boots should have tripped ‘em,
glamour locked in a snapshot.
Party was dead ‘til
dolls showed up. 
Owned
that 
hard wood floor.
Pink polka dot stripes,
so busy but they worked it.
A hit with that white hot smokey eye.

Premium Member Universe In My Hand

I have a clear quartz sphere that has a galaxy inside
effervescent inclusions of suspended breadcrumbs
a blow of dust snapshot of another dimension who
pay their bills kiss their infants and tend their lawns
and we… the grains, held in yet another playground

Premium Member - Hanging For Honey -


    The
    rich joy
    of the earth's
    diversity
    The clover meadow
    a wildflower delight
    Snapshot of bumblebees drinking
    valuable nectar liquid
    Sucking through its narrow proboscis
    June is the time for our dreams to come true

Premium Member Death Becomes Her

The Things I Felt As A Child,
Should Have Never Been Captured,
They Now Hide, 
In-Between Wrinkled Pages Of Poetry,
For Me To Write,
With Years Of Pondering,
A Snapshot In Time,
My Minds Eye,
The Reasons Behind,
I Wanted To Die,
But Lived To Tell,
Me Too.

Snapshot of My Garden

The wild blackbird
had a huge wound
where feathers should be
on his back
was his attacker
a once friendly beak
a bat
or maybe even a cat
the little bird
lay on his chest
splayed out
open to the sun's rays
to heal him.

P.S. My little mate is alive and well frollicking in the leaves.

Premium Member Sunset Walk, Sunrise Snapshot

     A sunset walk past a garden
       midday frolic in the meadow
     Early morning glide through a forest
       sunrise snapshot of a glistening lake

    How we take our eyes, our ears 
      our five senses for granted
    With all of them implanted
      this earth is enchanted

Haiku

1.
O you grasshopper
Don’t fleet anymore, go home
Rain! Float you away.

2
Full moon glows and I
Lying on grass peep at the
Black sky, full of stars.

Haiku, as like as
Bonsai, snapshot of nature

It’s a gusty night
She and me in a small room
Were gustoing closely.

Premium Member Narcissist Impulse


Time turns on wrinkled canvas,
winter spider in twilight hour 
weaves senility web, 
empty eyes wander in wasteland. 
Hedonist psyche refuses 
to gauge the grief of loss. 
Face morphs into metaphor 
for the past panorama dislodged,
captured in the snapshot 
of narcissist impulse congealed.

Premium Member You'Re My Everything

Your lines of desire, and forms of dreams.
Your curves of happiness, of questions.
I love you.
Your grooves of yearn, and thoughts of want.
Your poles of ideals, of colors.
I love you so much.
Your snapshot to bliss, and openness to freedom.
Your shadow of lust, of eyes.
I love you, I want you, I have you.

The Picture

he keeps a picture
of his dead wife
in the top pocket
of the starch white
prison shirt he wears.

her parents,
ever crying,
often sit
on wooden pews
in the small town's church;
the smell of
candle wax 
surrounding them.

as for he,
he'll keep 
that snapshot
in that shirt
for another 
sixteen years.

Premium Member Serendipity

A chance encounter
a snapshot in time
life's random moments
are simply sublime
