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
