Brownian Vapour
Dark clouds
hard rain, petrichor
malignancy
to Brownian vapour
Sometime I get quippy. From my X account
Nothing steals our joy and positivity like resentment. Forgive ... it is for you.
Watch Me Explode
double-bombed peony
most exuberant of buds
nature demanded …
go forth and flower
flamboyant but wise
a clever bon vivant
knows a good mood
does away with the need
for thorns
a whisper to the earth
a diva’s request …
hold my stem
now, watch me explode
unfurling corolla
one petal only folds
where the next expands
not above a flirtatious taunt
go ahead, you challenge
I dare you to count
5 … 4 … 3 … 2 …
Bionic Motion
golden leaf
surfs the wind
falls in bionic
motion
sch sch sch
Hurricane in Denmark
cut off
mid-air
by a bumblebee
the butterfly
fluttered-off
seething
no one noticed
until the hurricane
hit Denmark
Stray Offerings
to my garden
the reek buried
perfumed come
next spring
Malformed
an aged oak
malformed limbs
withstand time
Pucker Up
the bass
asks that you cease
to pluck its scales
this is not a poesy
but a kiss
from a fish
so pucker up
From Skirt The Periphery
through a bleary iris
along the reservoir's edge
the fabric is dissolved
to heliotrope and indigo
faded to nimbus periwinkle
muted to lacklustre
argentine
the damask unravels
skirts the periphery
hot tears cascade
without end
wisteria helixes
clematis climbs
down into the abyss
silver and gems fold
nebulae ignite
sort spectral chaos
smelt the molten globular
precipitate the planetary
time and attraction
alloy experience
wonder and awe
filigree in flames
weld and danubed
deep under the edge
of the falls
desire and want are quenche
down into the abyss
silver and gems fold
nebulae ignite
sort spectral chaos
smelt the molten globular
precipitate the planetary
Pink Before May
pink before May
cold, blooming
audacity
sometimes frills
are more daring
than bared limbs
Splashed Into Existence
laughing children
the pool in late summer
micro-constellations
splashed into existence
stars shimmer before dusk
evaporate long before nightfall
Alternate, more simple version of the second stanza ...
splashed into existence
stars shimmer before dusk
evaporate before nightfall
