When did I demote
You to a duke? It's been years . . . 
Since I called you King!

Springtime! And Nectar!

Springtime! And Nectar!
Pure bliss 24/7!
My angels just rock.

I wrote this Haiku a while ago, but found it a good fit for Haiku Heights' prompt of "Bliss."

Exploit's Evidence

Another Wordle prompt from Big Tent Poetry; I also tried a new form this week called an Etheree (thanks for telling me about it, Amanda!). This form uses 10 lines and 1 through 10 syllables, either ascending or descending; it allowed me to use all words in the Wordle.



Exploit's evidence: half-eaten debris
Blurred tongue swarms to embellish answers
Skirt reality, chant garbage
Of our possibilities
But it's temporary . . .
I'm just your dock; a
Straining backbone
Your weight like
A child
Grows.

Blueberry waffles
Then for lunch, chicken tacos . . .
Tonight, a picnic!

Written for Sensational Haiku Wednesday's prompt "food." This little piece came to me as I finished readying dinner!

Be Hushed

 A fib poem (1 1 2 3 5 8 syllables) for Three Word Wednesday's prompts of demure, offend, volatile.

Be
Hushed
Demure
Give nothing
That offends sense and
Wakes up that volatile dragon.

I Is For Imagination

Imagination:
Hold, play, laugh, breathe, stay, believe
Where our love unfolds.

Knowing of its grace.

charm, feast, robust

I bet you're robust
Though you charm like a schoolboy:
Oh, to feast on you!

Belongings, Home

Liquidate my life
Shed belongings of roof, bed
Fly to a new Home.

Written for Sensational Haiku Wednesday (belong or belonging) and for  ABC Wednesday (using the letter H; which makes me think of Home).

You Could Rest

Another fib poem (experimental American haiku, 1 1 2 3 5 8 structure). Written for Jingle's Poets Rally Week 28.

You
Could 
Rest in
Sheltering
Sweet room after room
Of my tender feelings for you!

Big Tent: Word Pool

A lousy raise communicated by e-mail: that was my inspiration for Big Tent Poetry's weekly prompt. The assignment: to borrow words from whatever struck us at any given moment – finding words from our everyday lives – even if it meant stealing the words of others.

At least "the impersonal nature of this e-mail" ... a great line that wouldn't fit into my fib poem ... was rich with inspiration. All words straight from the boss's e-mail; just shuffled up a bit. :-) The spirit remains the same.

Thank You

Thank
You
Christine
For hard work
Your new salary
I am sorry you will see it.

Soooo Determined

So determined to
Seduce me when all I want:
Peace, silence and thought!

break, negative, surface

Negativity
Overwhelms, breaks soft places--
Leaves a hard surface.

G Is For ... Gyrates?



Gym Guy Gyrates
