I am the mud coating the ground
Remembering the way the rain soaked in,
And the revelations that we found
While we suffered in his domain-
Of lightning and howling hounds
I would never forget your name.
#wistful #emoetry #tercets #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
Staring in the mirror, ruffled
Hair refusing to be tamed.
Caused by the feet that shuffled
#Misunderstood- needing to be named
In voices ever so muffled,
I speak it with a heavy shame.
#emoetry #tercets #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
Approaching the cute dog,
Hand held out with #cautious
Anticipation in the present fog-
Humans #loom against the house
Like a forest of heavy logs
That I must first sniff for moss.

Dogs strolling along the snow
Which blankets the roads, disturbed
By tire tracks and paw prints;
My hand #affectionately in yours since
We had our love ever inferred -
Those days that we were low.

I walk in the garden at dusk
To see what the light plays at
With the #violets and the roses:
These days we aren’t getting frosts
And while that should worry me, a cat
Calls my attention- a mouse’s husk.

Spreading #scorn in solitude:
A cabana north of Cuba
Where a naughty list ever grows,
An old man soiled in blood
Writes down the name “Hecuba,”
And unleashes deadly crows.
#emoetry #tercets #poem #micropoetry #writingcommunity
I am #passive amidst the purple hue:
A spell cast onto the sky gently
At first, before becoming a violent tool
Deepening into a darkness that softly
Brings out the owls near the pool,
Hooting songs as they roost and fly.
#faesense #emoetry #poem #tercets #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
The grapes are #delighted
I can tell from how they taste
So sweet, so you I invited
To partake in this space:
Where we shall not be divided
And I shall view your endless grace.

Afternoon #casual coffee
Turns into longer nights:
A search for unending glory,
In the morning we’re dead to rights.
A chapter closes on this story
And onto the next we set our sights.
#emoetry #tercets #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
The old year #betrayed that sense
Of comfort and safety within
Our ever present, heartfelt, tense
The eyes now follow a new mission
Even when the air feels dense
Remember life grows by addition.
#emoetry #tercets #poetry #poem #micropoetry #writingcommunity
I slept upon an elderly #sheep,
It’s dreams were of comfort
So when I awoke I did weep
And then the two of us did part.
Sowing memories we reaped
So that the day could start.
#wildwalkprompt #tercets #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
A mind full of love
A heart of #thoughtfulness:
A chicken cooking in the stove
I threw together my carelessness
And gathered together a treasure trove,
For us to play pirates wise.

Ever #elated Evelyn experiences
The feeling of lasting bliss
As she rides atop mighty horses,
Confidence you cannot miss
Flows through her like the forces
You feel in love’s first kiss.

The #cactus stands a sharp watch
Over the apartment’s gentle batch
Of denizens that will play fetch
Deep into the lengthy hours of night,
Engaging in an occasional play fight
Cats have the zoomers, what a sight.

They say #age is but a number-
But #age brings wisdom and grief:
It makes you arrogant or humbler
It changes the color of the leaf
From a bright green to greater hues
That colors all our believes.

We were with the #holly
As we made rather jolly
Despite a few recent follies,
The mistletoe had still found
Us, sniffed us like a hound-
Now we devoted to this ground.
#wildwalkprompt #poem #tercets #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
The pot is boiling over-
A mother growing #livid
Tense words before cover,
But the images remain vivid
Woven as two scorned lovers
Who remained ever rigid.
#emoetry #poem #poetry #tercets #micropoetry #writingcommunity
Jokers and clowns laughing it up
Behind the #jovial scenes drama
Masks the changes. Deadly group
Has come together all rather corny
As they empty the barrel of soup
Inflicting us all with negative karma.
#emoetry #tercets #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
I watch the #waves roll in
Like they’re saying “hello,”
From a moody beauty: Ocean
I wave on back at my blue fellow,
And echo it’s heavenly motion
It’s chaos and crashing makes me mellow.
#blueskyrelay #poem #poetry #tercets #micropoetry #writingcommunity #ocean
The #sideeye was legendary
We whispered tales of it for
Years. Imagine the burden carried
To generate the loss those eyes store.
So I deemed her Mary
And remembered her in my roar.
#blueskyrelay #poem #poetry #micropoetry #tercets #writingcommunity
The color of the distant ocean
Souls dyed in #blue internal,
Moving with the wind’s motion
Fated to continue eternal.
Until they can drink the potion
Mixed in the depths infernal.

He is #mercurial and I’m in
Retrograde with Venus
Because we can never win;
The horses have their harnesses,
And the driver a wide grin-
A lost land most gracious.

The #leprechaun at the river
Was stopped by a bridge troll
And the troll was caught in a shiver
“The toll is your coat, you’re a doll,”
He was not interested in a waiver
So the leprechaun told him to “take a stroll.”
#blueskyrelay #tercets #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
I’d never make #light of one
So #victimized, cast out alone
Similar to myself. In darkness
We find our true and solid bones,
And all the sins thrown as stones
No longer hurt our greatness.

Night’s #unbearable jacket
Flips onto the ground at Dawn,
Who picks it up despite the racket
From the sing birds on the lawn.
Putting it on, becoming Star cloaked
The universe has come to learn.
#emoetry #tercets #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
Nature’s #carpet adorned
In leafy festive nightmares
Is the lady ever scorned.
The flowers wild that she wears-
And her voice sounds burned-
As all around her sleep the bears.
#wildwalk #tercets #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
She is a #myth we chase after,
Auburn hair smelling of spice
And a smile that radiates laughter;
A simple pursuit wouldn’t be wise.
For to chase is not to know
Which is needed for love to grow.
#vss365 #tercets #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
I #measure us in the suits we wear:
The more expensive the worst
The quality of the man it does bear,
Ties around their necks are forced
In blame of their actions to share,
Of the million shouts that we hear.
#vss365 #tercets #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
Pressure, force, and release
I’ll never see you again, I know
But the #catharsis in the grease
Makes my heart beat and flow:
Wrote our name in my soul’s crease
Holding a moment where pleasure grows.
