Music for Woven Dreams #6

Thanks, Geraldine, for the prompt!

mystic strands

a little scat,

baby blues

one long trill

jazz tunes my soul

by a warm thrum

of rhyming fingers

when happiness

is a little jazz,

a little scat,

and one long trill

TOP German Shepherds

Totally Optional Prompt posts: It hasn't been a 'three dog night' around here for a long time, like since the last ice age, none the less the prompt this week is 'Three Dogs'. The challenge is to write three short poems about dogs, or the animal of your choice. They can be about three dogs, or three aspects of one dog, or the animal of your choice.

I don't have animals so these briefs are about peripherals. :) Wasn't easy for me!

German Shepherds

saber rattles
at interlopers
shares nap time
with cuddly toys

growls large at cat
sees soaring hawk shadow
ducks under deck

collared leash restraint
no diving into pristine
inground people's pool

This photo was created on the Office Max elf website which runs around Christmas time.

Clan of Dust Bunnies

one clan of dust bunnies
a small scatter of froth
drifts across a cobalt sky
passes by a crescent moon

like motes in sunlight
these tiny clots wile away
the first lazy day of midwinter
~ horizon calm with promise

Separation Panic in August

be gone, be gone
don't flaunt your best
before you hit the road
don't try to dazzle me
season my sorrow
I know you're on your way
no matter what I say
don't tease
be gone, be gone
.
pigment's no trade
for pitch-dark nights
partial days

reincarnate

accelerating time
measured in mundane,
the everyday spent
with slapdash squander

out of the blue, a
passion for Mach 2
rocks my edge

kickstarts thirst
for Wells' contraption
