wendyjones commented on the post, Congratulations Poetry Marathoners! 7 months ago
Thank you for your hard work in organizing this event. I enjoyed writing the poems very much.
May I legitimately claim that I completed the marathon if I wrote 24 poems within the designated 24 hours but wasn’t able to write one per hour? I had to be away from my computer and wasn’t able to connect to the internet during my time away, therefor…[Read more]

the pregnant moon
has birthed the darkest hours
before aurora rises they pursue
the creatures of the night
hiding from the light
innocents hounded
the cliff’s edge cloaked
terror’s vicious […]

manipulation is the key to survival
she knows how to play the game
forever be the child
Wendy to his Peter Pan
simpering lips
eyes evoking sorrow
hiding purpose
demanding respect

wendyjones wrote a new post, Futile Denial 7 months ago
love has taken wing
fluttered first
frissons of desire
flickers of delight
fire licks and flits
roars and in the flames
births another kind of love
born in pain
then glory held to […]

Well written, concise, dramatic, and timeless, love it.

wendyjones wrote a new post, Aftermath 7 months ago
lost, absent, vanished
stolen and destroyed
jealousy and revenge
wreak their evil end
and in the aftermath
plots for reprisal birthed
revenge not served cold
but hot, searing boiling
blood […]

wendyjones wrote a new post, They Wait In Peace 7 months ago
I envy
those who wait in peace
no troubled sleep,
restless hours
through these waiting years
guiltless they pretend
innocence will save them
when the end is nigh
and evil reigns supreme

wendyjones wrote a new post, The Stroke of Seven 7 months ago
In the gathering gloom she waited
ran with the foxes
collected eggs from the wild
Â
Dawned the sun
hour upon hour until the dusk
the buses ran
Â
she watched and at the stroke of seven slept

wendyjones wrote a new post, Sleep My Darling 7 months ago
I dream of you
lay my head to rest
and pray
imagine the wind
is a gentle caress
a blessing from beyond
Â
I curse the day
you walked away
my tortured soul
manufactures lies.

her beauty draws me near
but her mind awes and inspires
its depths fathomless as unexplored seas
tempt me to dwell where I dare not go
for her wit confounds me
my tongue from which words flow like […]

your mind can soar
across the millennia
rest in quiet cozy corners
venture to heaven
fall back to Terra firma
or fly among the stars
and unveil worlds not yet conceived

After today, he thought
the world will never be quite the same
she swam across the pond
and danced like Amphritite onto the sand
he envied the water drops that caressed her lissome curves

I am lost to you

I adorn my body
for you
await, yearn
your touch
Â
my hair brushed to shine
glory pinned
so you can let it spill
to lay like sea foam on your chest

gowned in diaphanous s […]

wendyjones wrote a new post, Love Is Not Love 7 months ago
love is not love
when it demands reciprocation
begs or bribes
Â
love is not love
when it manipulates
demands or commands
Â
love is freely given
with hope but not expectations

On my way to heaven I stopped to say hello
You were going the other way
I thought you might be
for a while we traveled together
and you tried to drag me down there with you
astonished at the […]

Jack London was called to the wild
where I will not go
for the wild is too wild for me
a woman who sits on cushions
soft, pillowy, pretty
looking out windows
to the mean streets
where blood […]

linger where you belong
safe, secure, secluded
I am the mighty one
the leader
venturing to greener pastures
stay in our nest
snug, serene for me
let it enclose you
think of it not as a […]

a thousand pictures
of you and me
together
apart
they don’t tell our story
not the truth
the love they witness
is not the love we feel
No camera tells our story
