Hour 4
Dew-wet pink petal
once fallen from the rose, you
can never return.
Sevenling (Stone): Hour 8
There’s much that’s made of stone:
bridges, tunnels and statues too.
They’re harsh, unfeeling, strong.
We humans are flesh and blood:
passions, emotions and heart.
I see why we don’t last long.
So what is the point of my art?
Yoshi
I fell in love with this puppy.
Her happy smile, cuddly fur, easy to train
Make for a sweet relationship.
Outdoors everything changes when we play–
She plays fiercely, runs like the wind, and snatches every ball.
She’s the best keep-away player I know.
… And she loves me.
Jammin’ (7 lines)
Jamming out
Headphones LOUD,
music screams,
singers with passion
Silent the World,
Ignore the strange passerby,
…..walk the dog.
Opposing Romance
He was fire and ash
His touch burned like ice
And his eyes were possessive
I was water and rot
My body was soft
And I hated to be kept
… we were perfect together
Prompt 10 hour 8 a Sevenling…
Clothed— I keep my guard out-placed.
tee shirt, denim, Converse laced.
Keeping out the weather.
Naked — I let down my guard.
Edened placed— movie starred.
Letting in the weather.
—We both love the weather.
2019 #8 Sevenling (attempt)
She dreamed again
That she was brave and confident
And alive through her tears.
Then, she quivered
A quake leaving only anxiety and remorse
And anger at her fears.
She cannot speak her own name.
Branded clothes, Pretty shoes
Bags and Jewels
All this was not for her..
Deep down she wanted someone
Who would Compliment her
For who she was
With or Without Them!
no title needed (H8)
She’d become a creature of habit.
Every morning three snoozes, 2 cups of coffee, and 1 long deep breadth before settling on her cushion.
Every evening a snifter of bourbon, a call to her mother, and kiss to the moon for the passing along.
Tomorrow, the moon won’t rise.
Reconciled Paradox (prompt 10, Hour 8)
Today, a physicist’s eyes lit up with glee, as he said,
We don’t know what dark matter is,
but dark matter is responsible for all of us, and all of this, being here.
Forty years ago I watched a guru glow with joy as he said,
Everything comes from love.
Love is in all things and gives form to creation.
One drop is not an ocean, yet the ocean is contained in the drop.
