A giant feather in a perfect blue sky.
A wisp of cloud shaped and tapered,
what a exquisite surprise. What an
amazing heavenly message up high.
Form:
Try to destroy
Destroy by fire
Try to burn
My love for him
The fire I speak
We all know as hate
But the only thing
Going up in flames
Is you...
For you my Friend
Have tapered with Fate!

NATURE’S ALLEGORICAL MOONING: A HAIKU DUO
First sneaking a peek,
She’ll later look all around
Seeking fulfillment:-
Gracefully tapered,
New fingernail moon smiling,
Reflecting new life:-
You used to be my strength, my rock
I looked to you for comforting thoughts
Till you thinned like paper
Your caring tapered
And like scissors you cut me off
Received 1st place in PD's "rock paper scissors" contest
A wicked wick of tallow lit
witch's sacrifice remit,
smoky tapered candles fit
in a dead man's skull a writ.
Eyes ablaze Satan permits,
the single soul to rest a bit,
and blood runs-- into the pit
in candle light the witches flit.
Lord….
Thee….
Guide me
Walk my path
Waiting for my bath
Twiddling my thumbs cause I fear me
Yearning for a hut where all those sounds are tapered shut
Please erase such a gut from such controversial rut running from head to toe like smut
Alabaster wings in celestial blue,
glissading on the surface of winds.
Stalking the shore, aerial view,
for luckless winkles and crabs —
briny delicacies.
Lightly ascending
on tapered wings,
seagull sails -
graceful
white.

Tom stops his waltz to the dead,
tapered, and cream of the cram in his head-
he's always a-loft-
he's the maker of his next,
year by year,
danger by the yes!
So many times,
so little does he need to be read,
because the dribble of life is only faster by fetch.
From streak and blur of candle faint
Her whispered breath gasps through dim hall--
That longing haunts without restraint
When a presence twirls come midnight:
Gently, gently she advances
Yet tapered wax fades...bleak the loff
And she aches for snuffled chances;
To meet him ...in world's afterlife

Sunshine Williams
a feather found
a gift not boxed, not wrapped
not double-bow bound
a gift imagined floating
falling leaf-like to the ground
halved by disappearing stem
tapered grey-white, grey-white line
one side an emerald satin shining stem
green paint over black artistically spread
a half with finest soft silk white hem
etched in grey in paralleled line
sent by a Pegasus-like numen
A Chilly Rainy Afternoon
In the chill of the afternoon
the light rain steadily fell—
soaking the rich green field
Just as the rain tapered off
to a slight mist, a flock of blackbirds
swooped down, ambushing
thirsty unaware frolicking worms
With the lapse of time, the rain ceased
and the blackbirds departed—
leaving a lone squirrel undulating across
the watery green field.
Ice doesn't concern itself with the thoughts
of men, it is speaking Mother Nature's
language, loved by men when weather is fair;
despised by men when weather is then fraught
with wind and snow and stormy invaders,
deadly to men going out if they dare.
Better to shelter when Nature is riled,
better to rest ‘til Nature is tapered
into gentle breezes and sunshine's flair,
better to wait until ice is exiled
by Natures warm share.
When I was young, a dining needle
Was the term we used
To name a flying insect, but
Turns out we were confused.
For darning needle is another
Phrase for dragonfly.
If you see one up close, then you
Will know the reason why.
Its thin and tapered body looks
Like what we’d use to sew,
But “darning” is a word that many
People do not know.
And so a word misheard became
A means of us defining
The dragonfly, which we assumed
Was out to do some dining.
1985 changed a lot of things
no more seeing my grandma daily
no more home cooked meals
no more trips to the farmerstown auction barn to get ice cream cones
grandpa was on his own
left to piece together meals
as he went out to farm
holidays weren't the same
grandpa would come over eat and go home
to an empty farmhouse
grandma was the glue
and we were the jigsaw pieces
tapered together to form a family
now we are out of whack
misplaced
even lost
Lush and green, full and thick
the bittersweet vine grows;
with each rain new shoots stretch quick
and wrap entwined bent and tapered elbows.
The birds find in it a hidden haven
beneath the leaves and rampant growth,
with a multitude of orange berries laden
spreading fast along the fence it chokes.
Beauty lay in the beholders eye
a vine or bush that soon encroach the garden path
and a once desired garden wonder spied
must be cut with love determined wrath.
