Building Night for Sunday Whirl

Thanks, Brenda, for the Sunday Whirl #89 Wordle





brooding stars
broke night's edge
delivered little points of flame
along the icy creek

against the dark
tangents popped
delivered little points of flame
across the murky sky

rustling leaves
tumbled over snow
delivered little points of flame
kneaded ice, moved on

Unfolding for The Sunday Whirl #87

Thanks, Brenda, for this Wordle prompt...





a sigh unfolds the night
the milky moon
grows glassy with chill

unseen rain listens
to the rush of dry leaves
tumbling in its wake

no visible sign
promises a tomorrow
as night replaces day

Headlines Parrot Night Tales

Ominous as storm clouds
coupling in the dark
shadows swoop
across the Wolf Moon face,

ravens fall from grace to ground
beat at window glass
rasp the wooden sill
rip shingled roof to shreds.

My Daddy always said
crowded creatures go mad
and humans likely will
as their numbers cross the bar.

Forests fill with people
clearing trees and game
life breeds Hitchcock scenes
mirrored in daily news.

Space for Sunday Whirl #86

Thanks, Brenda, for the Wordle prompt!





a tiny space
a place to hang a hat
or to peg a pace
bereft of light
double dark as night
relentless with twitch
til her mind takes flight
rejects the bland
she coasts far out of head
relentless and free
til time brings her back
to her small place
the space to hang her hat

Poem for Sunday Whirl #85


Thanks, Brenda, for the Wordle prompt!




somewhere back there

ancient trunks hover
above forlorn trails  
masking tiny forks

a desire to fuse
drives the manic
to seek a better space

a clash of time
sweeps the sand
before it resets the tide
