Bloom

yellow flowers bloom
against the coldness of spring
sunshine surrounds me


April's Pensieve Poetic License challenge

Poem

finding worn-out words
soaking up their clustered
emotions sway freely


Limerick and Haiku Prompt from Mad Kane: poems about poems or poems about writing

Change

spring will be coming but
no change will ever be enough
to satisfy my rusty mind

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think I change my mind
too many times to notice
when change came for me

One Single Impression

Walking

walking down your street
slow dreaming in the waking world
I see only your broad back

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hunched over reading a thick book
you sighed and yawned and then took a look
down to where I spied
then make a cried
hey you! get off the fence, you crook!

Inked Lyrics

rings of tears cover
letters smeared in abstract blue hue
your love can still be trace

in your inked lyrics
a parting gift from your heart
from across the ocean



For One Deep Breath and Message in a Bottle

Memories

memories travel
running fast at departure
slow on arrival

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

she had lost all desire to prose and rhyme
her poetry were absolutely sublime
did they disappear
along with her fear
that her memories were erased from time to time


For Limerick and Haiku Prompt

Winter Wonders

winter chill escape
this cold heart, changing shapes
leaving mended wounds

For One Deep Breath

Vision

I have never saw
a rainbow - not in the sky
not in the blue sea

not in my coffee
or even in a child' eye
then you came along

rainbows I never saw
but that didn't matter now
because you saw me

Frost

This entry is for One Deep Breath. The prompt is: Frost.

I decided to enter this for the Write Stuff Poetry contest. The theme is: cold, bitter. I thought this fits the theme just right.

leaves in icicles
nature's young hearts encased
in winter's ice home

born on winter's end
tomorrow still exist for
those standing still in

winter's frosted air
shattered but not broken
waiting in the shadows

in hopes of seeing
the sun's rays spinning in the naked sky
to allure us to a

metamorphic state
life's fragile smile upon us
hope here at world's end

Money

spend all day to drive my
small fortune away in attempt
to keep my happiness

...................................


he smiled and said don't pick love, pick money
then shouted "hurry, make more money"
passing out fliers
selling short desires
this from a man dressed as a bunny


For Limerick and Haiku Prompt at Mad Kane's Humor Blog. The theme is Money.

The Moon

the moon is following me
a feeling of wistfulness
overwhelm me with ire

I stare without awe
and start throwing rocks at it
striking just the right spot

it flicker once, twice
then falls into the still water
leaving no ripples

there it lays waiting
a flat marble upon the world
it tells me to jump in

I laugh a quiet laugh
I wonder if I should and
what harm would it do?

I smile not knowing why
and run straight towards the water
my feet barely touch ground

my heart racing like mad
near the water, feeling fearless
I jump without rue

into the white moon
sending ripples everywhere
breaking the silent night

I begin to sink
all the way down, into the blue canvas
drifting ever slowly

to the bottomless cold
where it force me to wake up and
open my eyes to see

through the thin layer of
moving water, the moon
now hangs high above

a fractured self
for a moment, all is calm
I swim to the surface

out of the bleak water
I look up at the moon and
wonder what I saw

up there, the moon still waits
for what? I haven't any idea
why does it make me feel so blue?

Lies and Deception

This entry is for Mad Kane's Limerick and Haiku Prompt. This week's theme: lies and deception.

lies you tell me are cheap
like your icy kisses and hugs
I don't want to keep

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

all the lies you tell me will soon depart
I see without eyes your deceptive art
tell the truth, don't stall
trust all or nothing at all
I don't suppose you understand my heart

New Year

This entry is for Mad Kane's Limerick and Haiku Prompt. This week's theme: wine and spirits or the New Year or, if you prefer, both.

This is also for Sunday Scribblings: New or New Year.

to do nothing, sleep through time
and wait for nothing

this year's new year resolution
to stop making new resolution
better to sit and whine
drinking spirits and wine
than end up making retribution

Giving

This entry is for One Deep Breath. The prompt is: Giving.

spread among us like

moment of real happiness
give only yourself

appeared without thought
