Snippets of Light

snippets of light
converged
upon
the
face of the
pink ash rose
through
the
sacred night
but
give us this day
orange
snippets of light

Damocles Condemned

Swords
Drawn
Swiftly
From tarnished
Sheaths of bulbous flesh
Transforms pain into audible
Snippets of abhorrent venom sired by taut tongues.

quiet time snippets capture moments to relax.... changes in nature night releases dawn's faint light monarch's fantasy in flight

80 - 20

I could write a sonnet 
or maybe a play
I could have gone epic
in hopes to relay
What snippets say better
in stations of rhyme
And carry within them
—a power sublime

Premium Member He Does Not Burden Others

He has more problems than most.
But he keeps them to himself.
Sharing slivers and snippets
Never divulging the whole picture.
Never burdening others with it.
It might kill us
Or at least
Make us
Sad.

Premium Member Deep Song

Snippets of a discarded song breach my unguarded ears,     
Dive through a drowning of blue-soaked years, 
     depth-charge submerged memories, 
Send lost love pluming through the surface of my pacific mind.

Premium Member Poetry For Breakfast

Poetry for breakfast 
Delivered with dollops of metaphors
Coated with delightful snippets of fun
Rolled in a skillet of imagery
My eyes dance with delight
As I read the words of my internet friends
Bringing poetry to life

Words

as soon as my back is turned,
it starts.
Those cruel, harsh whispers,
None of it true.

They try to keep their voices low
Not low enough.
I hear snippets of conversation
full of hurtful nonsense.

No wonder I want to leave.

First Chord

Snippets 
of the truth
being a 
little bit pregnant

In the 
promise
of a dream
eternity sleeps

Freeing
tomorrow
with each moment
recaptured

All time
in an instant
as the music
— begins

(Dreamsleep: May, 2025)

Commemoration

Delicate purity
Softly pallid
None akin
Of affection and beauty
Chilling 

Seraphic tears 
Wept
Sodden snippets
Of yesterdays 
Monochrome
Reminders 
Without order
Devolving back
To nothingness

Amorous and beautiful
But so cold

Premium Member Hummingbirds

Here are some amazing facts about hummingbird traits Wings beat 200 times per second and they fly about 30 mph Hearts beat 1250 times a minute These are amazing snippets Noone like Sir David Attenborough can teach and educate

Premium Member Snippets of Life

A snipping of scissors
The hum of the trimmer
The hollow sound of an AM radio
Idyll chatter
Kids, grandkids
The weather
A quick trim of thinning hair
Melancholy moments revisited
No appointments necessary
Just walk in 
Sit down
Relax
    …And wait

Premium Member Thought Rot

"Maga agenda 25" is a misnomer 
and yet it is repeated ad nauseum,
but as Kamala Harris  once said
"Young people ...  are stupid."

Missing context or not
political campaigns are fraught
with snippets that don't mean squat,
but cause significant thought rot!

Premium Member The Long and the Short of It

I think of you my little dove
Your troubadour, he scribes his love 
Through poems, snippets, winks and smiles
Connecting us across the miles
Until we meet again you'll be
On my mind, I wait to see
You walking in for Sunday song 
In that short time I will not long

Premium Member a quiet place

storms of war 
I search for a quiet place
where wind is joy

long ago you smiled
as you read  poetry written
for you my lost muse

the telephone rings,
but again it is not you calling 
to see I’m still here

Premium Member His Name Was Weng

~ His Name was Weng ~

     He was my friend
     penned odds and ends
     little snippets
     tasty tidbits

     B r e v i t y
     was his creed
     V e r b o s i t y
     a foul deed

     Weng lives on 
     in haiku heaven
     inking niblets

Premium Member Distorted and Assorted Memories

Good childhood memories arrive unbidden
Days of happiness and fun I did not remember
Where had these snippets of goodness been hidden?
This is my sixty-eighth November
Delicious memories oozed in unremembered in September 
Enthusiastic happiness doth now flow
Knowing my parents had always loved me so

Premium Member Take a Book, Leave a Book

Put your reading glasses on
My heart's an open book
See the words I write for you
Come and take a look
Little snippets, fleeting thoughts
A novel it is not
But there's a common thread throughout
The love for you I've got

Memories

Memories
Memories, little snippets from our past. Moments in time replaying in our minds as we yearn for our bygone days. Some warm our hearts, and others fill us with regret.
But memories, whether good or bad will always be apart of our everyday lives, reminding us of the past that is forever gone from reality.

V.M. Tackett

It's You

It's You!

You aren't around, yet, 
every moment you hound;
Your thoughts abound, 
in absence, yet surround!

Time alone, an uphill climb,
laden weight deep inside;
Suffocating life's grind, as
in hearts plicatures you do hide!

Everywhere is you and it is,
everything about you,
time will fail to erase these,
snippets I write in lieu.

Premium Member Work Vs Pleasure

Why is pleasure measured in moments,
while work is measured in weeks or years?

Pleasures are like insubstantial fictions, sweet treats gone
in the tasting or perhaps flowers, that once cut, wither.
So don't be enthralled by fickle snippets of passion.

Work and service have the weight of reward,
by labor's honest toil, we fashion, forge and provide.
