FROZEN (Sonnet IV)
I am not hiding for fear of what’s come.
Rather, in stone I stand frozen and cold,
Accepting all I see and hear and some
Memory of a time grown far too old.
Regret clings harsh, breaking nails on this rock;
For so many seasons that come to pass,
Bloody stub fingers carve ridges that dock,
Fractured, chip’d chards of regret, like fine glass.
Thus, I am stone and in fear to change...

UNTITLED
she is in the shadows that nobody sees
beneath the eyesight
in a corner
in a home long forgotten
i would not say that she wanders
she stays where it is warmer
whether it be her mind or the draft in the corner
and she will forgive, since forgiveness lives infinitely inside her
no regret
as the shadows cross her familiar face
and how we forget
in shadow
frame the time away
and try to...

TO THEE, @HAIKUCLUB—VILE ONE, WHO STEALS POEMS FROM POETS
The Fire does not dim
Anger simmers for the theif
Who stole our haikus
Not one, but two, three!
How can Twitter stand aloof?
Three poets mourn, dim.
The Fire will not dim
Innocent game, do not cheat—
Theif, stole our own words!

Angels: Forgotten How To Fly
I think we might be angels fallen from the sky
I think we might be angels who’ve forgotten how to fly
I hate that there’s no answer when we ask ourselves why
We all seem to remember a joy we’re now denied….
We want to trust in something
A soul, a God and an Art
We need the love of something
Or else inside we fall apart
And every day we hope and try
To spread our wings and touch the sky
But every...
Silence is the sound of one lone person at 2 AM.

Freight Train Crossing A Road
How is’t I know the sight, fair skies at dawn,
The smell of clipp’d sweetgrass out on the lawn;
Warmth from the kitchen and warm firelight,
blankets and pillows and kisses goodnight.
One time believing my world would not change;
No thoughts deceiving, lying, hurting—-strange.
Remember days building fortresses, yes,
Such memories playing now less and less.
Why tonight do these...
Tell me we’re alike / Tell me I won’t be alone / Tell me you are here —-

Pale moon in wonder / hawk in stark skies there are no / two moments alike

She's All The Rage: Alice and Wonderland
Pop culture would not be the same without references to the little Victorian character, with her adventures through the Looking Glass and down the Rabbit Hole.
Soon we will be saturated with the revival of Alice, a little creation of Lewis Carroll, or more precisely Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, whose gave Alice life.
In the beginning, Dodgson intended to entertain a little girl named Alice...

Swollen and drunken / hangs the haze over the room / She undresses me

See me through your haze / focus your eyes, clear the way / I am here, waiting

The real question is: were we ever in Wonderland?

ODE DE TWITTER
When all else fails or my friends desert me
Falling oh so lovingly into thee
Where else would I deign to be, Oh Twitter!
Where else but thee, come hell and high water!
Softly I muse an ephemeral tweet
In hopes that someday my friends may return
But until that day, Oh Twitter, my sweet
@ wastingpaper satiates that burn
Again, bemusing ephemeral tweets
I post in hopes some other friends...
TURDUCKEN DISCUSSION
thebaffled:
Turducken: discuss.
Never had a deboned turkey stuffed with a deboned duck stuffed with a deboned chicken.
This whole Turducken Discussion sounds like a Weird Al song: Twisted Holiday Fare.
A Haiku Haze
For @baffled’s Haiku Challenge on Twitter. The word of the day is HAZE.
Swollen and drunken
hangs the haze over the room
She undresses me

His Course Was Not The Same As Mine
A Haiku in three parts for the Haiku Challenge lead by @Baffled on Twitter. Highlights from the daily challenge can be seen on @Baffled’s Haiku Challenge Tumblr Blog.
The word in COURSE.
I.
Stay the course, he begs
Phrase he knows I know too well
I release the line
II.
Stay the course, he screams
Too late. The line broke off
Dissolves. His dear course
III.
I’ll stay...
