A place for poems and pics
silver jewels
on flamboyant green spikes
frosted grass

The first prompt for Nov over at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai is “frosted grass”

the best journey is
one with no destination
just enlightenment
—- It’s the final day of OctPoWriMo. What a great journey it has been!
there is no end to this blank road
no rest-stopping on the map
it’s a trap
slows me down, find a noun
to fill up the gap
sing, jog, dance, prance, love in ink
push words to the brink

Today at d’Verse Poets Pub we’re listening to some cool jazz.
Thanks to Bjorn for this Open Link Night
I decided to try another Melancholia
found pieces
salvaged
inherited
heirlooms
yard sales

lines filled with folks
wearing comfy shoes
and colorful shirts
hoping they will
be sitting at the blue
table with grandmother’s

Roadshow

This summer Robert Lee Brewer had introduced the poetic form Decina on his Poetic Asides blog.Then in Aug, he issued a challenge. This one got third place. Toot!
On summer days I climb a tree
I sit on branches high and wide
Pretend that I could take a ride
upon a ship that sails the sea
Or maybe I would like to be
An astronaut in outer space
Talk to a moon man face-to-face
And then my branch becomes a mare
Go galloping without a care
Til mother calls me to home base

The pride in that tide was the reason surfers dared to hang ten on its back.

unbroken chalk waits
beneath freshly washed blackboards
children in their seats
