Poetry Share - Madness


clarity seems such
swan diving flights of fancy
muddy ears mouth nose


menopause


hormones moaning through your veins 
flashing scenes of feverish misunderstanding
in your brain gunking up the works 
making you the loneliest most pitiful person
that ever walked the face of the earth 
a breath of stagnant air scratching along 
your rage raw throat with spasms of
projectile bile fighting to exit a down 
blocked passage that hides jagged tears
screams sobs pain open wounds emptiness
nothing a void soul devoid eyes on the back
of your head fists shoved in ears to stop 
the sound of silence howls like whirlwind 
spiders crawling on the underside of your skin 
curled into a dark corner to be no more

Poetry Share - Personification



paparazzi




sylph

kiss light as a breeze
beauty that mesmerizes enchants
slips through my embrace


bondage

there once was a man who liked bondage
with a mistress whose name was Sweet Rage
there was no safe word
at least not that she heard
so they never seemed to disengage

Picture This

November Dawn
[haiku]


dampened sound
fog invading the morning
invisible hand


Picture This

I ran out the door this morning
hair still wet from my shower
coat collar cold and clammy
left shoulder in a Notre Dame hunch
from purse, brief case, camera, lunchbox
I paused on the top stoop
afraid to step
broken bones in my imagination
aching joints in fact
looking for a proper footing
I saw the sugar frosted grass
freckles of white on the roof of my car
clouds reflected in the windshield
sloe and heavy with snow
compressing my perception
I took a deep breath

The best website for given names:
0 - green butterflytales on tuesday  I have been looking for a Meme to do on Tuesdays. Not being able to find one I like, I made one up. I call it "Tales on Tuesday."
 
The idea is to tell a short, short (500 words or less) story based on the week's theme. To provide us inspiration, each theme will be the title of a TV show.

Your story does not have to have anything in common with the TV show.

If you want to play, the theme for Tuesday, March 23, 2010, will be "Lost In Space." 
The theme for Tuesday, March 30, 2010, will be "Dark Shadows."

If you would like to suggest a theme, mention it when you comment.

haiku wednesday

cold winds lift red tiles
to fall and break on black ice
shattering cover

up above our heads
open crisp blue sky revealed
tossing wisps of hair

nets hold back debris
block out seeping alfresco
until the new roof

Cold Morning

Harsh wind blows branches,
first snow falls from breaking boughs;
rock-a-bye baby.

Daybreak



DAYBREAK

Bathing in sunlight
joyous estivation
humid, green, fecund.

D is for Dogwood

Dancer of the Quill is playing a game and she's making me play because I said I would.

Today's letter is D.

I have included a Haiku because no one liked my last poem; D

Dogwood

Pink, green, Dogwood blooms.
Sunshine streaming in rivers,
Flowing over bark.
