“Blanket”
See how fog gathers,
Blanketing our valley home.
We are safe now, child.

Double Acrostic – Baggage / That which Lingers – SD
So I scheduled this to publish this morning as an ultimatum for myself and forgot to finish and upload the poem. It got four likes with only a quote and a link to a video, so… thank you for the support I guess 😛
“Afflicted Beacon”
Ill-fated sentinel
tugging at a sky of red,
wishful fait accompli– Continue reading “Double Acrostic – Baggage / That which Lingers – SD”
October’s Theme – Around We Go!
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve written one of these theme posts. Normally I’d start off by talking about September’s posts, but… nothing has been posted yet. Go us! So instead I’ll just take a moment to revel in just how long we’ve kept this whole project up – 17 months!
Haiku Sunday – Memo
“Memo”
Burning love letters
Dance in chorus – a memo:
We’ll see you again!

Ode – Future – SD
“Adventures”
I dream of the day
They burst through the door
With joy on their faces,
Wanting to tell more. Continue reading “Ode – Future – SD”
Haiku Sunday – Breeze
“Breeze”
Autumn sings cool notes,
Blanketing the summer heat;
Subtle minor keys

Misplaced Missive #167 – Thank You – JG
I hide behind the words of wisdom of women wiser than I’ll ever be;
Hide behind the veiled revelations of grief,
Hoping no one will notice and try to comfort me.
Because the disguise denies the intimacy,
Of this pain.
To my shame, I admit I crave:
The sadness. The misery. The tears.
Because if my eyes ever clear;
If a smile ever appears;
It’ll feel like a betrayal. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #167 – Thank You – JG”
erikleo – A Provisional Narrative
“A Provisional Narrative”
I lay off reading the new
musical criticism and place
it on top of the beat poet’s
manifesto which lies on top
of the novel in the 21st century Continue reading “erikleo – A Provisional Narrative”
Haiku Sunday – erikleo
Another submission from a fellow haiku-er (?), erikleo of All Things Creative
after looking at a galaxy
two million light years distant
I creep into my bed,
next to my sleeping wife
Color Schemes – Bright – JG
Your future shines so brightly, I can see it from the present.
Iridescent, I guess it can’t be contained by a time frame.
And yet, you remain – skittish, hesitant, concerned –
Worried about wishes and wants when your will will
Take you to your forever.
Because it’s meant to be – certain, fated, destined,
I sense it must be naïve to believe you could see
Guided by your own light; by your own brilliance. Continue reading “Color Schemes – Bright – JG”
