Sadness swallows me
Darkness follows me
Light reflects me
People dissect me
Through my emotions
Drowning in the ocean
swallows' offspring
leave their nest soaring . . .
sky is a playground
swelteringly hot
listening to summer swallows ~
noon acapella

The heat takes away my water,
The Flames lick my skin,
The smoke swallows me up.
My tenants flee from the unwanted guest.
Agent Orange
Tinging lush, green foliage
Breath-taking shadow
Swallows mercurial moon
Invisible orb hovers

my fingers reach to touch the sky
where swallows circle,then southwards fly
Crystalline form created by US poet Denis Garrison
Swallows migrate South...
dark birds in a starless sky
mourning motherland.
Entered in Raul Moreno's contest, " Tattered Wings "
Frog sits on a rock.
Swallows a huge frightened fly.
Slips and falls, kerplop!

barn swallows dip low~
peach light rises from gravel road
sun melts into maples
swallows between worlds
ripples streaking mirrored clouds ~
drinking on the wing

swallows the old rat
Poor Poop eats the swimming frog
cow-dung for salad
the Poor Poop's show off
who is really boring?
zero romance time
swallows'
cobalt blue glistens
as they dart catching insects
at dawn against foggy creek rise
freedom to be alive
the gift of flower
baskets Mother remembers
giving to neighbors
and nature's present to me
swallows have returned this day
bright leaves adorn the trees - the swallows’ empty nests above our door
For Debbie Guzzi's Singled Out Poetry Contest
dark house sitting on a hill,
pine trees whisper,
all is still,
shadows creep across the lawn,
absorbing sound
as silence swallows up the dawn
Form:
Ocean whispers to ship “Come near”
The poor thing being so deaf hurries
When the hungry ocean swallows it,
even its tears refuses to be witness
silver ocean gleam
on faded wallpaper where
spring swallows plunge low;
each morning I give thanks for
a shore I no longer see.
I feel you when
the night swallows my joy.
As the sunlight hits my face
I remember your smile.
When the wind blows a kiss
I know you're with me.
alien territory
the visade is
mandatory- it's
easy to forget
underneath we
have let our
selves fade from
sight- just as
dawn swallows
night.
On the east window
A large reflected ball,
Nature's alarm call
In a patch of sky
That meets the horizon
Where swallows circle-
Then say farewell.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blanket
too heavy, thick~
swallows screams in my ribs.
Hollow cathedral where echoes
once lived.
Mist swallows the edge~
sky and sea blur into one,
no clear path in sight.
Yet I walk where light once fell,
trusting stars behind the haze.
Swallows herald Spring
Like the Equinox heralds light...
My love approaches
The open door of my heart
With the light in his
Eyes glistening destiny.
Old age
Muted rage
Broke hips
Bitter lips
Happy thoughts
Are Fought
Sunny Days
Turn away
Why lie
Will die
Nursing home
Swallows groan
iridescent wings
along with orange bellies . . .
sky sweepers soaring
the sharp warning cry
when a nest of birds I spy . . .
barn swallows dive-bomb
