You’re the kind of man 
that ruins a handkerchief 
carries it around  
making art and staining hearts,
repurposing ugly tears.

rain steals the morning,
 falling in degrees of gray

 with hues of melancholy,
 drifting with  thunder's refrain

Onto the page

In fated shadow

Blackberry Haiku

The blackberry bush
Staining my fingertips, a 
Sweetness worth the mess

The sun's going down
Grab as many one can hold
Painted crimson hands

Red Sun

Broken hearts behave as bright
Morn' sun, hemorrhaging red
staining all that has been touched,
while pulled from loves grasp.

oranges are staining my nails
squirting and spreading juice
aromatic, wet, tasty,
sometimes tart, sometimes sweet
some can juice them
I try
but fail
buying my juice at a store

Premium Member Wet Leaves of Summer

Wet leaves of summer
where death crept, silent and slow
And our palm held tears fell down

Covering each leaf
staining them with our sadness
the cold winds blow them away

Fin

She turns up the music to hide the sobs
Blade meets wrist for a final encounter
Red tears come streaming, staining the ground as they fall
Silence encompasses the room despite all of the noise

Man induced with intense mischief 
Blood staining his custom made handkerchief
Cutting eyes and deadly stares 
Creepy crackling as he walks the stairs 
He has no shadow, if you believe the myth

Rehabilitation

It sinks in deep 
Staining you like bleach 
It will stay there even when you are free
The weight of it will be excruciating
But you’ll move on despite it all 
And  you’ll be ok even on the hard days

Premium Member a red cardinal flies past

drizzling streaks staining her window
she does not take time to see it
staring into the bushes, noting movement there
a fox? a dog? a cat?
a red cardinal flies past
her mother giving her a gentle hello

Premium Member Gray Wool

hoped for
white down 
but it's
saran wrap
settling dust
soak staining
weathered wood
laquering streets 
warming bars
and hearts
gray wool
hugging the earth
softly 
snuggling me
on this 
see-your-breath
morning

Stain

How beautiful it is,
To believe you loved me..
To let your eyelashes blink flecks of stardust on my skin..
Permanently staining me with your essence..
Oh, love. 
It burned at first, just a little
God..
It was worth it.

Premium Member This Space To Let

"We need more space," you voiced.

"This space to let."
The notice hastily scrawled
childlike on an index card
glimpsed in the co-op window
passed by quickly; 
rain staining a new coat,
reminded me;

I had heard and not heard.

Trump Through Basic Training

Trump Through Basic Training

Trump could never make it through basic training;
Instead stood under golden shower that is staining;
Cause that losses,
With many excuses;
From being president should have been refraining.

Ghost

A knife's edge and a painful cry.
flashes in my mindful eye.
A cry for help. a plea for mercy.
I stand there and watch.
Yet im miles away.
So close, yet so far
My mind in turmoil. 
Blood falls, drop by drop
Staining hells depth....

Premium Member blueberry picking



berry picking in the field behind home
beyond the dark leaves were the blueberries
like tiny blue lamps lit by the sun
we laugh in the hush
and put the berries in our mouths
the juice staining our lips
and fingers blue  . . .
Form: Verse

The Moon

The Moon

large white gazing ball
hangs upon nothing
in the dark carpet above
billowing canvas 

myraids of crystals
pierce black pillows
at the farthest point
where the water never ends

silver sprayed twinkling shine
staining the glassy sea
Form: Sonnet

That Sentimental Style

If our high hopes
and a rainbow’s slopes
collide,
wide scopes of kaleidoscopes
raining
bold, forgotten designs
upon old, cotton twines
we’re staining
still bind the gentle mind,
after all this while, to
tie-dye’s sentimental style.
