Miracles Happen

Unfruitful woman,
Grieving and barren
Lament not life’s fortune.
Heaven shall reckon.
Plump as a melon.
Life wrought its leaven.
Childbirth. My haven.

Premium Member Wakeful Night in Ashton

I was awakened by the cuckoo
inexorably lusciously jeweled
and to a bobcat pantingly passing
enlivened ashton spirits
beauteous unfruitful rhythmic
respite

Premium Member Barren She Was

Her bones were
desolate, cold, unfruitful

Her body was
unproductive, despicable, empty,
isolated, untended, unloved, barren

She stood alone under generations of highly motivated producers
Watiting for a moment that never arrived.
Chosen in no way by no one.

Premium Member maybe tomorrow she told herself

Her attempts at writing were unfruitful.
Stark white page sneered and called her mean names.
Loser, stupid, dummy, idiot….
She stared at the page.

Writing was not a big deal.
Lots of people did it.
The thin blue lines stuck out their tongues at her.
Maybe tomorrow she told herself.
Her muse gave her the finger.
