Poetry feels good! Drink deep of its heavenly elixir. Come, share, and bare it. Let’s get tipsy on #Micropoetry and grow more, poetically.

My grapefruit
is a real hoot
for waking tiresome eyes.

What next?
said her room
with a guest.

What’s left?
but our cockles bereft
of this unending clean.

A bloody mean,
this healing cage.

Part 3:

Our seat is warm, inside a mat and teacup

They hope to softly forth the dawn’s coming.

Now light comes to wake carnage of nocturnal ghosts

Amid the robin song and grass growing.

Part 2:

Behind the dawn is quiet’s song:

Our minds are drawn to what is wrong,

While danger throngs out there,

And sounds but growing grass and robin song.

Part 1:

Open the drapes and behind lies a window,

A sliding door and its shiny wall of glass.

Sounds: the bird song and growing grass.

A new morn awakes,
like resurrection it makes
writers from ashes.

[Janet Milliner @MillinerJanet]

What was, but mist,
was welled by morn.
A tempting bliss
kept valleys warm.

For times, this shroud
and swing spoke loud,
to mist, they spoke.
By sun, off woke.

The land, again free,
then lived just to be.

I came and cried
with great surprise
at mere writing;
in time, this rhyme,
cut with a pen
and beat again
through bloody fingers.

Super!

It’s been awhile, but I still smile
thinkin’ of ways
to spend the days
makin’ time
for rhythm and rhyme.

And learning’ language,
a pretty #French sandwich,
with beautiful bouquets
and a scent that’s meant
for a loving mind
of a gracious kind of “oui.”

Finding the right note:
it floats eternally
with our song
on a joyful breeze,
and lifts the throng
of love along,
so carry me
free to you.

Attempting to fly
flapping arms, pretending so,
will not get you high.

This bird showed her color
strutting the dark;
but not seeming sore—
she sang like a lark.

In truth lived the vulture,
not harmless but made.
Her killing is pure
instinctual shade.

As heat of the dial
that warms in the isle,
none makes me smile
much as her.

My heart fills with oil,
her scent makes me boil,
as our souls hurtle ‘tward
deeper love, growing more.

In the burbs, a blurb
was written with verve.
The future, it told,
was wise, not old.

Eternal ink, it was,
that now writes well for us.

A soldier in wood,
with a mission and cause,
had a heart carved “could“
beating bloody flaws.

@surfgirldeb Today are you just

or one of a kind

THE PROPHET’S ROAD

By George, I learned
from ruddy Burns
how far we drove
the prophet’s road.

O’er time this rhyme
matured the mind
for tasting signs
of vintage wines.

Putting words together will not take you far. Go within and discover what you are not.

@ReineM When loss and grief
does grip my soul,
and darkness creeps
through my control.

That’s when I tire
but resting brings
me through the dire;
again I’ll sing.

Feel the excitation
before your recitation.
Our party and your quill
will fill the verbal till.

Prepare well then dare
to stretch words with voice.
You reveal to us things
when you make the words sing.
