Self tanner applied
a soft golden brown achieved
now, let spring begin.

#micropoetry #haiku #senryu #poetry

As she ran away
the bouquet fell mindlessly
she couldn't be captured.

#micropoetry #haiku #senryu #completethehaiga 141

They whisper
in silken tones
mellifluous words
they know I can't resist
lily, jasmine, daisy, rose.

#micropoetry #5lines #poetry #writemap 446

Nothing good
will come of this
despite the foretidings
of spring, green
in the branches.

#micropoetry #5lines #poetry

Lately
life has been
like getting off a train
accidently
at an unknown stop
that red door
jarringly out of place.

#micropoetry #poetry

Did last night's fiery red moon
affect my mood
I am filled with roses
and deep burgundy wine
an irrelevance of time
somnolent and listless
bewitched by augers
and allusive signs.

#micropoetry #poetry

O, Orpheus
I long to sing and dance
in branches filled with leaves
to play the music of a stream
and on the wind catch dreams.

#5lines #micropoetry poetry #writemap 441

The world glitters silver
all dewdrops and ice
glowering clouds
low and angry
at a world of lies & avarice.

#micropoetry #poetry

That hinge creaking is me
a bit rusty
but functioning
irritating, though not enough
to fix it.

#micropoetry #5lines #poetry

I bask
content as a cat
in my exquisite peculiarity.

#micropoetry #poetry #midnightsenyru

I lie in golden light
exquisitely content
a golden halo
dangles loosely from one finger
barely touching the ground.

#micropoetry #5lines #poetry

Syncronicity...
we talk, and a wedding ring
gone for ages turns up
I pretend, nonchalant,
not to search
for socks, umbrella, keys,
and a long lost love.

#micropoetry #poetry

This day is going
with the bluest brush of wind
floating out to sea.

#haiku #senryu #micropoetry #poetry

You reach a certain point
and no matter how much
you still wish it to be
topsy-turvy down on one knee
love turns to impossibility.

#5lines #micropoetry #poetry

This moment caught
a last snow not yet gone
in the still darkness
only me and my words
awaiting the sun.

#5lines micropoetry #poetry #writemap 435

The snow melts down
next to nothing
even as the snow flies
and flies as the crow
pecks nonexistent seed.

#micropoetry #5lines #poetry

On cracked macadam
abandoned basket ball hoop
inner city ghost.

#micropoetry #poetry #completethehaiga 139

Tiny grains
create a snowstorm
in my eyes
I am blind
hazy, is my mind.

#micropoetry #5lines #poetry

Unbelievable
the thought of snow tomorrow
I lie to myself.

#haiku #micropoetry #senryu #poetry

Unruly clouds bounce
softer than pinballs
but their density
more intense
than mere cotton mounds.

#micropoetry #5lines #poetry

All sugar and smiles
I hide behind
and I wait biding time
so that your demise
will be a complete surprise.

#5lines #micropoetry #poetry #writemap 427

There is no poetry
beauty, song, or moon
the stars have all died
and no longer shine
this is life without you.

#micropoetry #5lines #poetry #writemap 428

Her ghost is still afloat,
she knits invisible garments,
believes a “u” is a smile,
unaware of her own wake

Back then they warned us
it will make you think
that you can fly
we laughed because
we already flew in our minds.

#5lines #micropoetry #poetry #mpprompt

Clouds grow
fat with weeping
their gray underbellys
like sleeping whales
dreaming in distress.

#micropoetry #5lines #poetry

All the things
I've ever done wrong
are tumbling around
uselessly in my head
like sodden rocks.

#micropoetry #5lines #poetry

Listen,
the wrens are warbling
their watery tune
sending notes clear as prayer
into the blue heaven.

What more do you want
from a Tuesday?
Rise up
and sing!

I file it away,
All the things I should not say,
And I keep them safe.

#haikufeels file

a jar of pencils
these tight-wrapped green daffodils
thinking their own thoughts

Rare
is the heart
that holds love
and does not suffer
for it
