can fairly capture
the glory of pure unadulterated hope
faith

in the face of total loss

Hollow eyes
Sagging skin
Wounds undressed
Ashes strewn about
                his feet
A tremor 
     sunders his lips

She rests her feet on crescent moon,
the shadow of a pearl, in June,
distant sky in lapis hewn,
her ivory starlight wishes strewn.

A burning desire
Sodom became ash for lust
Strewn in the gutter

No one desrved it
Like Mrs. Lot, for looking back
Her salt is preserved

Surge on the shore
Shells strewn on the beach
Seagulls high pitch
Sunset glows
Tide turns

Layered bedding soft in stalls
Raked and forked daily
With tender compassion 
Companion care for a horse

The cool summer
Morning breeze,
The fresh scent of 
Jacaranda flowers plucked
And strewn on the streets
Of Northend.

Christmas morning everyone found
Santa had once again touched ground
As COVID-19
Was strewn scene-to-scene
Immunity's bound to rebound?

Rebuilding from the pieces
That you left strewn and broken
Ready to risk life and grow
Taller once again.

fall season ahead
autumn's colors spread 
like a quilt bedspread
leaf strewn paths we tread 
mother nature's love 
beating heart blooms red

Fresh-cut scent strewn on the breeze
Ready for bare feet

Her sneezes didn't prevent her and John Deere from seeking vengeance...
leaving a carnage of dead grass and strewn tissues in her wake

The price of love
is loss

Its bill
both old and new

A cost
that must be paid

With feelings
torn and strewn

Premium Member robert frosts two roads

in a yellow woods
i chose the path less leaf strewn
as beauty still clung

reds and oranges mixed
browns swirled in last minute
as autumn breathed

Dream leaf “fall” usher
motley hue cascade unfurled
dull grey sky gaunt sun
mud strewn pockmarks on limp moss
wet nabs ripe fruit orchard splurge

He saw a flower once,
Dandelion – he thinks,
growing in a city sidewalk
near a rock strewn park.

a tire flew off and the ford flipped
they forgot to buckle their belts

bodies were strewn on the deep divide
i was the first on the scene. one died...

Cans lie strewn, litter tossed away, discarded trash. Dents - defile, deform the perfect container form. Wanton abuse uncalled-for.

Off Rangoon

Off Rangoon a typhoon my balloon 
it has strewn.  Unfortun-ately, soon 
this spittoon, this mad drain; 
becomes a hurricane 
then spits me out, a prune, off Cancun.
