Winter whale watching...
gray clouds roll aloft the ship
...bruised foam splays the bow

After Dark

The moon splays its splendor.
Red roses somber in vase.
Subliminal shadows, peaked and sallow,
flicker like windswept, willow flame.
Inscription, on her headstone, illuminated.

Giraffe At the Watering Hole
Giraffe at the watering hole

	
She splays her forelegs one at a time
levering, leaving dignity 
behind, easing down to a 
half sideways split; then bends
to drink, hoping no 
lion arrives
blood-blushing
head rush
up...

Warrior of Moss and Fir
Don’t you see,
 A battle rages
Away above the grasses
The mighty trees throw spears of air
And bend to dodge the blades
Or cones where thrown by lordly pines
As cut by edges hewn like hands;
These lush and greening splays
Appendages of bows
The warriors, donned of moss and fir...

The Blade
Every glance is a sharpened knife
aimed at a love getting harder to hide

my hand splays out, gripping your waist
the blade piercing flesh, desire misplaced

the urge to hold tighter never leaves
leaving me colder than fallen leaves
a body drained, its warmth set free,
bloodless, breathless—cut by need.

Premium Member Crystal and Dust, Daily 24
24:Drops of color splinter from the crystal’s sharp edges--
From the hard clearness,
Blue splays
Orange dances
Green jumps
Purple plays
As yellow mellows
Down the hot day.
Even through the dust
that filters light’s passage,
Rainbow’s essence delights the ceiling.
Beams win against a decade of unwashed window....

Mellifluous Autumn
Apples ripen pink, hotly blushing,
though the ardent yellow sun grows faint;
blackbirds sucking soft honeyed sweetness.
like babies at breast, show no restraint.

Mellow ripeness splays rich-toned color;
the trees raise scarlet armed applause.
Red-brown and gray, small creatures hurry
stowing provisions for winter's pause.

Premium Member Aspens Quake: Hexsonnetta
The copse of aspens quake.
Horses graze and cows laze
as languid summer splays
emeralds in its wake,
low fields to overtake
the prospect's cyan glaze.

Immutable the sun
in lambent saffron drape
above the lucid scape
contemplates the glisten,
auscultates the paean,
the whispering of crepe

as runes the leaves impart
to dulcify the heart.*

*Hexsonnetta is a form invented by Andrea Dietrich

Premium Member Fairy Comes with a Promise
Twirling her fairy skirt,
   a lace and pearl dessert.

His eyes hypnotized by
   the lace and pearl overt.

Bells on her fingertips,
   this lace and pearl concert.

She gives her all to him
   in lace and pearl exert.

Her father hides her in
   the lace and pearl turret.

But marriage promise
   gifts lace and pearl convert.

Twinkling eyes of the groom
   splays lace and pearl dessert.
