A place for poems and pics
You are lying
I can see it in eyes
that gleam with
insincerity
your head bowed to
mask a smile
your confessor
hears only your voice
dripping with regret
asking for forgiveness

Mama Zen is in the Garden today asking us to imagine “If these walls could talk …..”
Carpe Diem #953 – air

train whistle
echoes in the night air
lonesome thoughts
d’Verse Poetics: Fantasia
Lillian is asking for poems using fantasia, phantasia, fantasy, or any kind of”fancy”
~~~~
it was their fantasy
to fly into space
to dive to the depths
of the ocean
it was their fantasy
to see the person
on the other end of a call
to put dishes in a
machine to wash them
it was their fantasy
to cook food in seconds
to cure diseases
when will our
fantasies become real
defend
your heart my
mother always said
but
this is not a fight
this is true love
and I surrender

Poetic Asides April PAD Day 11 – defensive
her silly antics made me laugh a
great big loud guffaw escaped and
floated through the atmosphere
I giggled til I thought
I’d burst and blushed a
shade of red – guess
it’s true I’m
tickled
pink

We’re making list at B&Ps Shadorma & Beyond – MLMM
Mish and I would like to challenge you to leave a trail of peace this week
photo by Mish
Contrails
We leave a trail
as we pass through
the atmosphere
of each day
The vapors of each
word and action
follow us –
heavy, dark lines
of unkindness
airy stripes of
peace and love
that show our
true direction
Carpe Diem Special #205 – Sara McNulty’s first “tree frog serenade”
hot night
chorus outside my window
tree frog serenade
(c) Sara McNulty
~~
Here is my attempt inspired by Sara’s haiku
first light
sparrow and finch compete
singing contest
I twirl and pirouette in
a choreography all
my own accompanied
by music unheard by
human ears
down below I see
you peering up at me
in awe of my
aerial ballet

Today in the Garden, Hannah has us thinking about the awesome natural world.
