The Green Twig

the green twig
from the failing honeysuckle
presses this window
leads me to love the green force
even in chilly december

Snapped Twig

The mighty wind, snaps the twig
of a delicate branch
Drops to ground gently,
as if flying down angelically
To firm grass, with no sound
As a passerby's feet snap it in half,
again

Olive Twig

I was feeling like I was beginning to forgive
I had started to make peace

So, I decided to reach out
Test the waters
Extend an olive twig

And within the exchange of only a few words
You snapped it in two

It Looks Like a Twig, It Crawls Like a Twig, It's a ---

The heat is soaring;
No breeze to allay;
Little puff clouds drifting,
Magnolia leaves falling,
No moisture in sight,
A twig lay on the bannister,
Or that’s what it tries to be,
It is a long camouflaged insect
Yearning to be free.

Fly away, twigged bug, 
And message the clouds to rain.

Twig of love

Its not the revile
in the morning
its about your tears
and how you wish
away tomorrow
When today is the stet

Its not the sound of  zephyr
that plays occasionally
Its the truth blowing precariously

The branches learn to bend
We took the side road to Bexhill
We saw the flames of our love dissipate
that  early spring

Premium Member Twig Beneath a Redwood Tree

Long ago I had a coroner friend.
 He unloaded many tales of great darkness
People passing away in strange ways-in strange places.
Distorted postures in a maggot's buffet.
People going out for a bite to eat-
but never returning.to families.
His impression and confessionals never leave me.

I shared some of my stories with him.
But they paled in comparison to his.
I doubt if he remembers any of them...
Does any remember a twig 'neath a redwood tree.

The Broken Twig

Why this day you break
The only productive twig 
The giver of life to many 
A shelter to the birds 
Of different kinds and color 
Not even a tear you wipe 
Your eyes dry like charcoal 
In love you were with it 
All gone never to be 
Not even a seed you protected 
To continue the twig life 
Why think its cursed? 
Yet the best it produces 
Even in dry or wet seasons 
The twig will grow stronger 
In another world. 
A new person will till 
Till fully grown to produce
