A place for poems and pics
We Wait
For ashen skies to
Drift and greet the sun
For time to turn this
Turmoil to tranquility
As gifted abilities
Go to waste
We wait for walls to
Fall but they will stand
Unbroken as long as
Goals remain unspoken
We wait for peace
To magically evolve
Like childhood dreams
And it clearly seems
That we have lost our way

Cee’s Black &White challenge
There are many churches in my hometown. This is Zion’s Lutheran, the first in what, hopefully, will be a series.
Quadrille #19 – spark
De is asking us to put some “spark” in our Quadrille over at dVerse Poets Pub today
–
Ooopsie
It was the spark –
That stray remark made
In the dark while we were
Parked under the stars
With other cars watching
A show on giant screens
I didn’t mean to speak
Out loud, so the whole crowd
Could hear my deepest thoughts

It’s ‘Homophone Me’ at d’Verse Poets Pub
and ‘Something’s Gotta Give‘ at Poetic Bloomings
Seasonal Segue
The last leaves wave frantically
Before they have to leave
Trying to get my attention
Gusts of wind roll by in waves
Fall is changing the landscape
Giant cinnamon-roll circles of hay
Dot the fields
Sagging scarecrows still play
The role of protector
I heard flocks of birds overhead
Migrating to warmer climes like
Herds of buffalo across the
Prairie of the sky
I watch a hawk as it climbs higher
Sailing on a thermal draft
And before the last leaf falls –
Stores have moved on to
The next holiday
Leaving me to wonder
Why
Listen October –
Why are you Golden-
Why are days Shorter-
Where is the Sun-
What do you say – eh?
Here says the Sun –
Just behind Clouds-
Just farther Away-
Still your bright Star-
Still shining above.
Night’s Glittering stars-
Show me the Bear-
Show me some Sisters-
Show me the Hunter
Look up – said the Sky

Emily Dickinson provided the inspiration in Fashion Me Your Words today at Real Toads.

Nature sings to me
In melodies of sun
And baritone shadows
Harmony on forest’s floor
Echos of peace

At B&Ps Shadorma and Beyond we are finding inspiration in the words of Bob Dylan.
I’ve taken mine from All Along the Watchtower.
Waiting
I’m watching,
waiting for the truth
listening
for sweet songs
telling the stories of peace
that will heal our wounds
