Paper Journal

Paper Journal

I love the feel of pen gliding
Across a sheet of paper
The magic of transforming
Blank pages into word art

I love the whiff of ink
That tickles my nose
As each page fans
the air in turn

I love looking backward
And moving forward
Within the creamy pages
Of straight lined paper

B&Ps Shadorma and Beyond – Nov 12, 016
Leonard Cohen is our inspiration for this week – especially his song Hallelujah

And over in the Imaginary Garden With Real Toads we are writing about those Still Points in our lives.

Heartsong

They stole my
words And spun them round
they didn’t
sound The same
Or even tell the story
That I meant to tell

They set them
To a melody
that Charmed the crowds And
fooled some fools
Until I
Wrenched them back again and sang
The song of my heart

I Struggle

B&P Shadorma  for Nov 5, 2016

Today’s poem is “Traveling Through the Dark” by William E. Stafford:

Here is my Shadorma inspired by this poem

~

right or wrong
is not always clear
I struggle
heart and head
do battle in the darkness
while my soul seeks peace

A Wire Poem

~ Candace ~ Leave a comment

Love Note
Send me a wire
A tweet
A message

Write it on paper
Or in the sand

Put it in a bottle
For me to find along the shore
Write it in the clouds
Trail it behind a plane

Pound it out on a
Hollow log
Call me

Come knock on my door
Look in my eyes
Tell me you love me

Imagine If

~ Candace ~ Leave a comment

Imagine If

The moon has gone to the dark side
Leaving only stars to light the night
Battles break out between Orion
And The Sisters about who will rule
The Milky Way curdles
The dippers spill out the space junk
They’ve been collecting while
The Bull charges madly across the sky
And we are left spooning by the
Light of The Swan
