Flight
near the forbidden
chasing sweet dreams of freedom
she soared with no fear
too fast, too close and too far ~
failed wings hold a broken heart

Tamped Down Taupe for Magpie Tales
Magpie Tales offers a wonderful prompt by image on each Thursday morning. Responses are due before the following Tuesday morning. View the image at the site and read what others wrote. It's a fine trip.
the cocoon spat her out
with wings too wet to fly
she shuts her mouth
hums new shades of taupe
Tamped Down Taupe
released from shades of gray
formed by sackcloth taupe
she sings of burning hope
sends it off to sky blue orbit
expectations sold
she cries out to the wind
dreamers' old stories
now sheer with overuse
the cocoon spat her out
with wings too wet to fly
she shuts her mouth
hums new shades of taupeA fractal.

Roundabout for Big Tent
Big Tent Poetry prompts: Write about something you would love to do but have never dared. Maybe you are indeed a poet who lives on the edge.
Roundabout
her wildest dreams
dangle from
a thousand limbs
scene by scene
from nun to not
and back again
from poor to loaded
and back again
daring times
seized in bulky terms
until the reaper knocks
then stalks her cells
pulls her down
to ripple through the mire
life by the second and
full days be damned
stung by commonplace
she survives without thrill
but by prayer, one step up
and one step back again

T for ABC Wednesday
ABC WEDNESDAY ROUND 6: T is for...
Oftentimes I thrive on doing things that cause anxiety in others.
Dandelions and I gave up our fight (I didn't win) and I learned to love thistles.
They each have such unusual beauty. And they require absolutely nothing. They grow without fertilizer, without water, without conversation. They just are.
It was several years before I actually connected floating thistledown with the actual thistle. Very like dandelion parachutes. How typical of me to avoid details.
Dandelions have many uses, including wine, but I'm not sure how valuable the thistle is. Do you know?
