Heart Patches
We’re finding Bits of Inspiration from Amber Rose Tamblyn in the Garden today
~
your battery acid words fly through
the air burning everyone they touch
like sparks from a forest fire
they land on my unprotected heart
leaving singed holes where
my feelings used to be
I build up walls of insulating
smiles to protect the fragile
core of my soul and wait
until you have burned
yourself to ashes
then I stitch bright patches
of summer sun and bluest sky
to heal the scorched places
and I move on
Summer Love
d’Verse – Tuesday Poetics: Summer Starter
~
under the summer roses
fallen petals wilt from
tender pink to brittle brown
forgotten as their beauty fades –
will our summer romance
follow
~
Walt is hosting a summer party at the pub and has given us some super examples of summer poetry, challenging us to take a line, phrase, or word and create something new.
I chose the line “under the summer roses” from “Under The Harvest Moon” by Carl Sandburg
Night Out
Out of Standard in the Garden
From the Black Mirror
Use the last text you received and turn it into a poem
~
this is the text I used –
“I’ll pick you up at 8 …. Any ideas?”
Night Out
Any ideas
that come from my muse
tonight
are hers alone
I’m stepping out
cutting loose
no comfy chair
or cup of tea,
fuzzy slipper and jammies
oh, no I have
big plans
I’ll pick you up at 8 –
which book store shall
we hang out in?
State College
I found these doors on a trip to Penn State University in Central Pennsylvania.

Gaudy Summer
Quadrille 11 – spill
De has us “spilling” things over at dVerse Poets
`
Summer has spilled
quickly
into spring bringing
with it the flip flops
and sleeveless shirts
that were packed away
last year
Loud, gaudy summer has
taken over – pushing its
way into bright glaring
mornings and humid nights
pushing aside the gentleness
of spring

Eerie Nursery Rhymes
Pretty Petals
Come pick some pretty flowers
from my backyard garden dear
the scents are quite alluring
oh, there’s nothing you should fear
Come pick some pretty flowers
maybe taste a dainty bloom
but should you choose unwisely
I’ll toss petals on your tomb

Dog Days
Dog Days
I long for the “dog days” of summer
hot days with nothing to do
when daydreaming
is a valid past time
days of long afternoon naps
and tall glasses of iced tea
that leave a cooling wet ring
on my bare leg
nights that come slowly
as we sit on the porch swing
listening to an improvised
concert by crickets and frogs
