X for ABC Wednesday

ABC WEDNESDAY ROUND 6: X is for...

Xanthic - yellow, yellowish


Aha!

Breaking through gray clouds pregnant with rain, a bright xanthic orb brightens the sky and warms the shadows. A pile of shoes shed near the front door during cold and dark are now ignored in favor of rubbing sole to earth and feeling the purr.

Oh, yes, pour me a full summer!

molars to paint play

in its twilight it transforms

a long standing friend

What if...for BigTentPoetry

Big Tent Poetry prompt: Start at the top of a page, “I want to write about __________, but I don’t know how.”




What if...

I want to write about broken lives,

sad crumbs transformed from good

death that goes unnoticed

dreams that die in blood-soaked sand

the linear who threaten from a box

hate by rote and know no answers

faith that elevates evil and ugly

and screamers loath to offer sanity

failing infrastructure

and pain that knocks in the night

instead, I'll write about this iris

freshened on the fourth of summer

under a swirl of aging rain
