Myles Fletcher

My poor sick country, my tired friends. The bootstrap felt broken and that broke our hearts. All we had ever tried to do was lift ourselves up.

Dew Spin

[Sway @AnyWayInTheSway]

out in nowhere
lying on a flatbed truck
we drink in the wild air
until we're almost drunk
tipsy and too aware
we are floating up
higher and higher
so we can see the top
watching the sun rise
we tell time to stop
but we realize
it is us
who control the clock

[Out of the Blue @BlueHaiku2]

Chinese lanterns
strung out in a tense line
of bobbing orange suns
slowly pulsing in time
with the music's throb.

[Jocelyn @Jocelynx44]

the weight of
a morning is
feather & stone
amber & sky
a silence of bones
the height of
a morning is
frequently tall
except at the edge
it’s really
quite small
in all this I rise
in a raveling fray
a violet unfolding
is well underway

dusk sky
frothing lavender
wisteria

driving by a childhood marsh

a red winged blackbird
flits from reed to reed

nothing's diminished
nothing remains

midnight walk
alone in the woods

@JeffreyFBarken wave after wave
on an incessant journey
another sunset
when I long to change the taste
of salt, the colour of the wind

[Denise Carruthers @CattyKoala]

Something in the air
pairs Venus with vespers
stirs me to follow you
alleluia light the way
aye the willow sways
as her winds command
& music flowers
ours is a join in song
'long longer lines
signs that life is a dance
& chance is a part
a heartbeat away.

Morning. Vast. Imprecision.
Absence is harder to accept than death.

never a rose
but how
this lavender
grows
in your garden

[sagee @sagee786]

would that
this be known to you
which
you think
I don't think

The unbearable reality of daylight

[Kira @kira_clarke]

I sang grief’s sorrow
To a mourning night

Her heavens glistened
With tears of light
