[*Hendecasyllable: line of verse containing 11 syllables with stanzas with repeated end words and a five line envoi that concludes the ballade.]* Look as… “a crimson sky breaks the distant shore” Signaling I will see my fair home no more the ship drifts into shadows far from yon shore And soon the sky is dark night, crimson no more The...

Premium Member A Crimson Sky
Oh how I wish I could buy, the huge beautiful sky. By day with bright white and blue so high, and the sunny sun makes me want to cry. By night the colors change making a roar, "A crimson sky breaks the distant shore."...

divine destruction
The lightning blinks through diaphanous air, An enigmatic catharsis of the universe. The thunderous exhale fleeting-- Ultraviolet tendrils grasping from the atmosphere. A bolt illuminating the heavens with majestic bearing, Smothering the canvas littered with stars in a flash, Curling with a conniving kind of captivation-- A calamitous craft cracking through the cosmos....

Granting me ascent would be a most splendid favor. It would be a pure adrenaline freedom thrill to fly. Passing birds would wonder...

Blue skies and sunshine
BLUE SKIES AND SUNSHINE We all need a little sunshine, To brighten up our day, Beautiful, bright blue skies, "A joy to see!! " we say. Wonderful sunshine, Such a joy it brings, Golden orange and yellow colours, It makes your heart sing. Looking up above, See the white, soft clouds so high, So calm and peaceful, Watching...

Premium Member To Fly
To be like a bird and fly and fly To touch the edge of the azure sky to fly together, to swoop and soar To visit the clouds forever more. To dance with the wind, a pirouette bask midst a gold and crimson sunset Fly over mountains crested with snow Finding wonder-filled places to go Fly over meadows blazing with bloom To ruffle wildflowers'...

Premium Member Crimson Sky
“A crimson sky breaks the distant shore”- a perfect picture view that seems unreal; the red and golden highlights underscore God's beautiful and mystical reveal. The water's edge reflects this lovely scene- a double gift that soothes my tired soul with rhythm in the ripples- and between, the shimmering whitecaps complete His goal. Such peaceful moments are the awesome prize to grant me pleasure...

The Sky
I fall in love with the sky time after time again. Perhaps that is how I learned to love so hard, To love so much, And never expect anything in return. I fell in love first with something ever changing; Nothing can disappoint me after that....

PINK SCALLOP SHELL Along my road to Freedom stood showy blue-green sentinels with white cloud whiffs representing Sky starling decorated bushes joined Party of the Road to nowhere this was where Freedom danced naked, her shadowed body awaiting with roasted chestnuts she met us with a hug and drums on I moved to dissolve into River braincells becoming numinous atomic...

Premium Member In the garden where illusions grow like paper flowers under the velvet sky
In the garden where illusions grow like paper flowers under the velvet sky, Life is woven like a tapestry of shadows and lights fading into the distance, A sweet lie we embrace with open arms, For the pure truth, like a cold wind, might scatter our dreams, We paint our reality with the oils of dreams and unfulfilled hopes, While...

Premium Member If you let me, the clouds will open like coconuts under the weight of the sky
If you let me, the clouds will open like coconuts under the weight of the sky, acidic milk will cascade over your cities, drowning them in twilight, thin lightning like my fingers will write unknown messages in the sky, I will scour the turbulent air to reach you, traveling through time like a dream, I will step on the...

From the high deck, gazing far away The southern sky, the clouds arrayed Passing overhead in summertime Stirring up dreams with open eyes A warm wind sweeps across my face The wild doves have left their place Carrying with them joyful songs Seagulls enjoy the sky all day long The sparrows forget the green...
