Pox on it all!I care not what he hides Beneath his jeans Next to his thighs.Put his hand thereOr pull it out.He hides his money there.Maybe his time?Pocket, pffft, whatever;I know it’s all a lie. This is for a dVerse prompt: Pen us a poem of exactly 44 wordsContinue reading “Pox It”

Wild Dahlia
Wild Dahlia, the name of the bar,The owner was Deborah,Below her left breast there was a scar,She’d let you see if you whispered sweet,Thought that could only get you so far.The drinks were cheap,The company cost.The men were sheep,You could hear them baa.Such was the cost of being barkeep.I tried my luck.The others they laughed.MissContinue reading “Wild Dahlia”

Morning or Evening Tides
Is it morning?The start of a brand new day?Or evening as the day slips away?Fishermen, a man and his boyAs the tide is lowBoats anchored and moored;Hardships of a hard life endured.The light illuminates yet details aren’t clear.An impressionist influenceOr a realist reaction?Perhaps the light blinded himOr the clouds obscured.Well the sun has risen FurtherContinue reading “Morning or Evening Tides”

The Burning of Morning’s Light
I didn’t want you to notice meBut to feel me on your skinYour soul should have known meBefore we even metYou were my love of a lifetimeLifetimes agoThe north star in an empty skyA roadmap for when I had no directionMy soul cried out to yoursLike a hungry baby or a wolf howlingLonging for shelterContinue reading “The Burning of Morning’s Light”
Head North: 5th Time the Charm
Home.A place where you live.But more than that, where you have a heart.Mine was not my first residenceBut where my heart was: Grandma’s House.We lived there more than once,My mom and I,And departed more times than that.I remember moving, one of my first,From city to county.Then back home.A lengthier stay or perhaps I was justContinue reading “Head North: 5th Time the Charm”
Untouched Heart Strings
Walking through the door to a meadow,The rain a light mistJust enough to shroud the horizon in a blanket of grey.Tears stay hidden within my eyes.Not shed for her,Not shed for her leaving,Not breaking my heart as I stumble from my home.I walk among the droplets of waterFrozen in a breeze not blowing.They cling toContinue reading “Untouched Heart Strings”
