Poem for Sunday Whirl #66


Thanks, Brenda, for this delicious wordle prompt...






far less erotic
and far more melancholy
than the rosy golden swing
she imagined in her nights
~ that stray fling in tall grass
calls for a pale cover,
a powdering of ash and
a forget-me-now spray
a warning to be tucked behind
like an old judgment stick

Food Chain for Sunday Whirl #65


Thanks, Brenda, for another fun and wild wordle prompt!





food chain

his trigger finger plants
a spray of grittled seed
that drops like flicks of hail

another crack of  kernels
swells the row with future

relishing his old refrain
he claims humility
with the gravity of pluck

Ball of Time for Sunday Whirl #64








drawers of eternity
stacked one upon the other
stung by ignorance
spurned by rinds of soul
years of months
subtracted by
faith-full housewives
and carved into
pieces small enough
to fall unnoticed
with the dropping ball of time

Sent for Sunday Whirl #63

Thanks, Brenda, for this week's Wordle prompt!



SENT


like a layout
of Tarot cards
tableau'd in reverse
snapshots curl
under her thin touch
old acts easily hung
by one upon the other
in utter silence
when gestures of pain
stood between their skin
their lips soon pursed
with done
