Poem for 3WW

ThomG, moderator of 3WordWednesday offers these words as prompt: bleak, queer, hiccup.

Lens of the Past

neither light nor dark

no color at play

the queer time of mind

the bleak phase of day

a hiccup in life

reaching into the gray

she draws on familiar

a memory of old

to add light to

that bleak phase of day

Poem for 3Word Wednesday

ThomG, moderator of 3Word Wednesday offers these words as prompt: lithe, offend, grave

The Daily Tempest


writhing limbs
uproot the senses
guide the lithe
toward smoky mirrors
magnetized by mimicry

where nonstop coverage
plays upon the clay
uproots the tallest
and offends the grave
by writhing limbs

Poem for RWP #103

The Pomegranate

crimson drops of blood
pods like jelly in a jar
color of the first chakra
sweet perfume of summer

silky bits wait inside
the rind of tough hide
until she yearns to feed
her pining soul in times

of winter's cold and white
and with a tiny seed pod
she re-creates the heat
of summer in a jelly jar

Tanka for Sunday Scribblings

Sunday Scribblings offers Beauty as today's prompt word.

a clean mantle falls
through the dark on hills and town
the virgin white snow
reflecting first morning light
autumn's rain-soaked gray turns bright

ThomG, moderator of 3WordWednesday, offers these words for prompt: hanker, murky, errant

an errant hanker
overcomes his murky mind
chaos tweaks the string
a hundred nightmares reel when
chaos tweaked the string
overcame his murky mind
with errant hankers

Poem for One Single Impression

One Single Impression posts: Thanks to Tea Leaves 'n' Honey, who offers this week's prompt, conquer.

Ides of October

black rips the sky
bolts her to a flash
a dry time thunders
somewhere north of fall
brings her colors down
bolts her to a flash
when black tilts the sky

Poem for Totally Optional Prompts

Totally Optional Prompts posts: So, what do you have to say about laundry? Do you do your own or does someone do it for you? Do you hang it outside or use a dryer? Do you use fabric softener and bleach? And what about your dirty laundry? You know those deep, dark secrets. Do you air them or keep them hidden away?

Life Lines

stain-formed fractals
test the Jung and Freud
wrinkles hugging lint
while
origami layers enfold
dark and bitter defects
and agitate her sins

tangled strands of self
spin a thousand cuts
she spills not a single word

Haiku for 3Word Wednesday

ThomG, moderator of 3WordWednesday offers the following words for prompt: Fracture, Noise, Vanish






night fracture
noise pounds window panes
vanishes



lightning vanishes
thunder drumrolls noise
fractures calm



his wish fractures
vanishes with the noise
her wedding bells

F for ABC Wednesday

ABC Wednesday prompts with the letter 'F' this week. Thanks!

Fused glass fascinates me ~ even after I tried it once.

Flight fascinates me, as well, but this is not my feather.

I am fearful that I used two f's today and may have no f's for Round 6. Sigh.

Haiku for One Single Impression

One Single Impression posts: Tea Leaves 'n' Honey brings us the prompt allow this week.

My mind went to the seasons (naturally) and to the world that allows the shifts of life and time.

sun stretches orbital band
hour glass of seasons

cosmic facets
cross the reaches of time
nature's color book

Fractal and Poem for Friday

Handful of Summer

yesterday I stood
ankle deep in summer

today rain pulls heat
from beneath my feet

sand drawn out by tides
or a rug picked up by fate

fall stalks dying bushes
winged gleaners gather seeds

grasping summer in my hand
I hold my breath

Shoes for Totally Optional Prompts

Totally Optional Prompts: requests poems using shoes as a metaphor for death...

Rule of Red

magical red
spun along the path
Rubik's cube facets
sparkled up
a brown shoe world
flat as waning seas
before the dying sun

casual abandon
suspended by laces
birled at transformer lines
clustered crows
looked askance
into the nearing murk
and an empty pair of shoes

Poem and Fractal for 3 Word Wednesday

ThomG, moderator of 3Word Wednesday, offers the following words for prompt: qualify, jinx, capture

Midway Arcade

croning faster than light
from a Pac-Man curse
she streaks through tunnels
captures dots and jinxed rogues

harvests strawberries
to qualify for an extra life
while karma
swings his joystick in the dark
