black and white
Canada geese fly
united
by instinct
divided only when one
leaves the formation

Garden Loop

~ Candace ~ 2 Comments

I planted a red rose

Rose with a prickly thorn

Thorn that drew your blood

Blood that reaped your scorn

At B&P Shadorms & Beyond we’re challenged to write a Loop Poem

leafy ballet

~ Candace ~ 4 Comments

wind blows
leaves dance
like ballerinas across the grassy lawn
dressed in red, orange, and yellow
tutus flutter
in rhythm
with nature

here’s another Trinet using word count

Farewell to Whimsy

~ Candace ~ 9 Comments

it’s magic
when you’re only three
leaves change from green to
red and yellow flames
and caterpillars fall asleep
to awaken as butterflies
tiny black tadpoles swish
their tails through pond water
and slowly transform
into croaking frogs
until the school bell rings for you
the curtain is pulled down
and the wizard is exposed
whimsy dies and science takes its place
–
when you’re three
magic fills the air
changing leaves
butterflies
then science beckons to you
whimsy dies to facts

Play and Party

Sun and shadows play a game

Run and tag, one hides one seeks

Fun all day across the sky

Done when light begins to streak

And then the stars push them aside

Grand ballroom fills the inky sky

Band plays tunes preferred by moon

disband when curtain lifts by light
