December dribbles - 19

The son will fly with tomorrow’s sun, bringing Christmas truly begun.
The family gathers; the wreath’s on the door; there’s happy times in store.
The dinner gets cooked, different menus parading as one.
The dinner gets shared, different offerings eaten. And son
Will leave with the year. Seasons Greeting’s everyone.

On keeping a picture of my dog as a screensaver. Desktop, the screen- Saver, it seems Alright. She used to wait; Me typing; her fate My plight. Face turned away; Eyes turned; they say Goodbye.

Desktop: The screen Saver still seems alright. Written for ReadWritePoem #6, converse with images

So here are 6 anti-Valentinian 140-character tweets. Enjoy. When roses die, the petals fall, and leaves like brittle sawdust crack and rip her feeble skin;  she’s clearing dreams that ended;  losing him <3<3<3<3<3<3 When roses die the blood is red that drips to feed the worms of words unsaid, that blisters heartache’s burns while s...

April - NaPoWriMo - 14

the father held the answers and the reasons in his heart seasons for hope the start of all things keeping promises too close for flower’s bloom, the towering gloom of forest, watchman’s doom was filled, o’erpowering dreams that waited till the world’s unraveling restart, rebuild and he the holy braid repeating all he’s fallen still for wind that blows the promise filling the seasons reasoning sweet answers keeping home-fires burning hope returning heart still yearning sends the one who understanding this flashes furious flame unleashed a breeze that forest’s trees can speak its words true hope eternally forsaken, newly heard. Written for ReadWritePoem #14: a CLEAVE poem: The left hand (bold) words form the first stanza. Right hand (unbold) words are the second. And the whole poem read normally is its own third stanza. At least, I think that's what the definition meant.
