#SmallPoems for #OpenWrite - a Kenning poem, in honor of my friend
Between rows of trees,
branches weighted with apples -
the scent of decay -
yet there's sweetness on our tongue
as we sample the season
Tanka for #OpenWrite
I remember
the time
she told me
I was doing
it all wrong
Not a careful
steeping,
but a mad
rush of hot
water
She took
my hand,
and we let
the kettle
sing its song
then waited
for the tea
to make magic
a little bit
longer
#SmallPoems for #OpenWrite (a tea poem)
The prompt for #OpenWrite this morning was a Magic 8 Ball poem, where stanzas interact with the Magic 8 Ball responses.

Even broken strings
on an old broken
guitar sing in deep repose;
the memory thrums -
the hand strums
an architecture of notes
Somewhere, that familiar song
still plays in a broken
key; its resonance, floats

Suddenly In Bloom
You merely blinked
and then it was
as if the switch,
flicked; the flowers
bloomed
I remember
the first night
in that apartment,
that old brick building,
the way the Mill River
roared just outside
the window, as if
life were suddenly
moving on

You might have liked me
to be a child of sticks,
of snare shots, sizzle,
and coordinated drum kicks
Instead, you had me,
a curious kid with fingers
on the keys, a tongue
on mouthpiece and reed
We all find our way in
