sun sets behind Pikes Peak
now bathed
with mellow moon
Entry for Timothy Hicks' "Thirteen Syllables Or Less" Contest
Titillations in the shallows.
All of life's! Before a wave.
Edging which twin immanancies
Of head's, heart's diving brave.
You call me the god of discord
By many I'm being ignored
While by everyone you're adored
Getting used to it, more like bored
from a night's journey--
I return with a lamp
and songs

We scrounged up
Every penny we could
The night the policemen took you.
We had thirteen dollars
For your five hundred dollar bail.
Just superstition?
Feisty black cat bearing claws
the number thirteen
tattooed upon its wild smile,
witches it’s your lucky day.
My dad had thirteen siblings
worked for every thing he ever got
many hand-me-downs but no handouts

The Haiku Master
waited at the twilight hour
It dawned on him
Floribunda rose
Awakens to spill it's scent
Midsummer night dream
Isis trawls the Nile,
Finds thirteen dismembered parts,
The phallus missing,
Sings, resurrects Osiris,
Fashions gold phallus, conceives.
New year this
Twenty eighteen?
In a count it found no eight teens
From thirteen to eighteen sixteens
Then this year twenty sixth teen!
CUT
Stitches
Big needles
I ran and I fell
The jar broke and cut me
Thirteen stitches in my hand
"Never run with glass in your hand"
thunderclouds
shrouding the grave
my falling tears

thirteen of us knew how to behave.
of course my cousin was not one of them.
they gave me grief, but no one can control that maniac.
not even grandma!
morning dew clings
silk dances in the breeze
deadly threads

Thirteen stricks the clock.
Cob webs dance in the corner of darkness;
Cats are always on the prowl, and ghosts,
Still scare little kids in their dreams
Form:
A goose egg of gold,
Six lambs in a fold,
The coconut fell from its tree.
A pet, granite rock,
It's thirteen o'clock,
The mountain slid into the sea.
Form:
Her inner universe is chaotic.
Nobody gets how deeply misunderstood she feels.
The world cold and callous.

rain come again
dry flowers with wide eyes

Thirteen Syllables Or Less - Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Timothy Hicks
a hex slams the decks
in cosmic fashion
aloof, shedding proof
of boundless passion
covert to pervert
virtue left ashen;
once fed every thread
begs for compassion.
Seven stars within Eternal's palms Philadelphia freedom
Thirteen psalms and a will to be merry ?
...."In Progress." *:*(*
Form:
comes from
Jesus and disciples
friends and foe
gathered together
for last supper
Author notes
Just a passing thought in thirteen words, seemed appropriate.
We had been on the road for about thirteen hours by then
So the traffic that we saw was a most unwelcome sight
A turtle, on his own road trip, crawled across the highway
