Berry Blue

Magic Muffin
Magic Muffin

a brown nutty flour cloud rises from
the green mixing bowl
pale lemon chiffon yellow bananas
blend with bright school bus yellow eggs

all folded one upon the other becoming
bland, tan, until bits of blue (berries) are
gently added – dipped, spooned into pink
and blue fluted paper packages

kissed by brown sugar lips and
tucked into the oven where magic happens

The Phoenix Rising challenge this week is Tea Time/Tag Lines.
I choose the tag line “gourmets first taste their meals with their eyes”

Walking the Dog

~ Candace ~ 23 Comments

our walk is like a symphony
passing through the movements
with our steps keeping time
allegro propels us out the door –
finding our rhythm we glide in the
sway of the scherzo up hill and down
until we turn for home, slowing,
largo, until we reach the final note

A Word with Laurie – Allegro, Eight lines, One Minute!

( I confess, it took me longer than a minute – blush)

Jisei

~ Candace ~ 28 Comments

Grace, over at d’Verse poets, challenged us to write Jisei, Japanese death poems
These are my attempts (shrug)

outside the window
dove calls to feathered mourners
my eyes slowly close
————–

my journey over
rocky trail to the peak
heaven waits

Today at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai were are challenged to write a new haiku inspired by one written by Buson

sleep with “daki kago”!
as with a one-night harlot at Fushimi
exchanging lover’s talks

waking in the dark
clutching a lumpy pillow
no comfort found
