Fractals Photos Poetry Prose Watercolor
bright lights halo
the poet with a book
smiling behind barriers
tabling her qualms
...bookshop patrons, stern
as if passing an open coffin
reluctant to pause
lest the poet turns vocal
like a TV car saleman and
feeds them something
they can't afford or use
with terms they don't cotton to...
sharing words and thoughts
with the sullen and the leery
is not as easy as receiving
part-time publication credits
This piece is written in response to the Totally Optional Prompt post: Marketplace
early spring fervor
welcomes the winter weary
bearing gravity chilled bones,
nuance crosses the heart of hope
and bends the sword of fear
to release seeds of bittersweet
into the dawning air while
prickly thorns of a rose
struggle to defeat its scent
and in turmoil of change
man renews his faith
gains his second wind

sounds of lonesome
underscored by
menacing tones
intermittent songs
to the rising moon
he heard the howls
his neck hair rose,
quivered in the dark
the old guard whistled

outsize eye tattoos
warn off nearing predators
wings of jezebel

black nose, spots of pink
white fur glistens in the snow
hungry polar bear

brown river creates
ripples around a faux log
cranky crocodile
