Sheer golden wall slips
into shadows’ umbra edge —
Brush on blank canvas

Obsidian

Around us grows
a crystal dark cage.
Shatter the black —
with shards of light
fight back.

Her, real
A #poem in two parts

—

i.

While walking down streets
paved with the light
of early spring sun,
I see a shaded sight:

A woman of stone
stands on a perch,
a pedestal built
into a French church,

peers twixt two columns
with two babes in tow,
seemingly fleeting
with her robes all a-flow…

Poetry time. #WakaPoetry

#Waka (Meter 5,7,5,7,7): Must be satiric, symbolic. It must be obscure enough that the composer can deny blame, but obvious enough, the listener will know they are being satirized. Preferably so the reader understands without explanation.

It’s not a challenge, but if you want to take it that way. Great.

It’s my writing homework (Self-assigned) for today

A blanket of grey
pulled back: beds baptized by rain —
Resurrection blooms

Sanguine royale
A #poem in two parts

i.

Poking through
wild rosebush’s thorns,
by winter’s remnants
still adorned,
gold velvet
of a magnolia’s buds
gives way to
royal purple in floods.

The rising spring sun
casts white shadows on the dark —
Nocturne equinox

Bright orange tulips
crackle in the early sun —
Warming springtime fire

Crypt
A #poem

I sit and write my poems
in bubble-wrapped words
that like the Transformers
are not what you’ve heard.

So long as the devious
Decepticons rule,
then this is an Autobot’s
most useful tool.

I steer by the stars
with my submarine sail,
a lurking Jonah in my
mechanical whale:

My wordbubbles rise
to surface waves
beneath orange skies,
sailor’s warning today.
