Like a ghost
In the shade of a shadow
The cheery tears began with a sniggle
A giggle that didn’t belong to anyone

Well as poorly nicely
Excellently decently good
Reasonably far
Much such
Fantastically exceptionally
Respectably properly
Superbly outstandingly
Bad

A bright red Male cardinal stands on a flat surface with some scattered birdseed. Its body is facing forward and head turned slightly to the side. A blurred, winter-toned background shows muted browns and a strip of white snow.
Unrepentant flame
he sings through the hush of frost
gods forgive this sin

Speak to your inner child
the therapist says
What would you tell him now?
I replied
I wouldn't tell him anything
I'd just want to know
I hadn't let him down

That no one ever mentions
It must be obeyed

The amethyst sages sway,
as if waving their hands toward the clear autumn sky.
But the sky says nothing, just spreading vast and high above,
like a beautiful dream
that captivates you endlessly
all through your life.

#Poetry, like jazz, is one of those dazzling diamonds of creative industry that help human beings make sense out of the comedies and tragedies that contextualize our lives.

I contain each one,
Keep my joys separate from fears,
Pretending control.

Haiku Poem

I can't work Mondays
I'm working from home today
Be there tomorrow. @aspergergal @taratorme.bsky.social #poetry #micropetry #WritingCommunity
NO APPLES IN EDEN, a tanka
The fruit that Eve picked
could not have been an apple
in Eden’s climate.
“Fruit,” the Bible says. Golden
apples, pommes d’or – oranges.

Sunny springtime beer

Some blossoming bluebells on the ground

revealed
a spot
of lucid

nice journalists
travelling in for a bit
