Writing poems is zen. Sharing poems is brazen.

A Swarm of fireflies
Nature's candlelight vigil
Out in the meadow

table for one
a silence
that isn't awkward

The sun sets behind
my shoulder to sleep under
the blooming sage.

The desert’s red rocks
and her grass contrast
welcomes autumn rain.

The elevator
doors open the empty shaft—
a revelation.

“A Sijo for X-Poets”

Poets, unfortunately,
see fall chinooks
clapping scrubby leaves.

Boots are stomping,
the boots clomping—
we perceive untended breeze.

We ignore Blake’s poison tree
rotting white oaks,
watching autumn breathe.

Autumn beach under
my knees, I pray to the ocean
—wind smells of brine.

Chattering elites
talk of a red or blue Caesar—
the dawn anodynes.

Magic, once stolen, becomes a stone, and I, the sea.

Cobwebbed and dusty,
America’s nirvana
dodders listlessly.

My nirvana
of this moment is AC
and a cheeseburger.

Rosemary blooms
in the highway median
cheers a strange nirvana.

The nature of things:
pregnant mothers retaining
fall’s camomile tea.

“Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows”

we zoom our weekend
text daily activities
hug digitally—
I step into autumn’s night,
sip on my apartment stoop.

#TankaThursday (autumn) #tanka #poetry

[Aaron Guile @AaronGuile]

Across the digital
chasm, I saw
your wind blown post—
the whispering highway
buzzes you a distant “hi.”

The mornings are cool
but the afternoons still burn
—Sonoran autumn.

[Aaron Guile @AaronGuile]

she knows hundreds
of knock knock jokes

so amongst
scattered throws

next to the bed
sweat shining

on her pregnant
tiger-stripped belly

she tells me half
rocking her hips

running her fingers
through her black hair

laughing in gallops
of rain soaked air

The water I carry
is heavy—more than the rocks
in my veins.

#haiku #poetry #poetrycommunity

[Aaron Guile @AaronGuile]

The jackboots brave
clip clops
and gray autumn graves
—soap they lave
their craven hearts.
