THE CHRISTENING
Published by Biggus on May 16, 2013 - 09:22BECALMED
Published by Biggus on May 16, 2013 - 09:21We sat becalmed on the cold ocean
I wished to see the waters move
Pomo Basket at Fifth & Seventh
Published by billyhawk on May 16, 2013 - 03:32The world’s smallest basket lies tucked away
Inside a jar for field-trip wide open
Eyes of wonder to chew on, settled in
The drooling smiles of truant minds like most
A Cluster of Birds Above Downtown
Published by billyhawk on May 16, 2013 - 03:24Every collected speck swayed wind
In sharp cut precision, together
In swift motion of east west & south, sound.
Driven as if invisible hands were swatting
Mind's Furnished Rooms
Published by a102866 on May 16, 2013 - 03:10Our home is our palace. The mind is the hearth's tent. Our compartmentalized minds have many, furnished rooms. Does nature or nurture furnish them? Psychologists still debate this question.
Sketching Nature's Portrait
Published by a102866 on May 16, 2013 - 03:02Paint nature's canvas with a broad brush! On mountain top high, fantasy soars us into the wild blue yonder, and the tangible strains of life grip us as we descend to the valley below.
Mom and God

God! Have you taken my mom?
Didn’t you have a mother like we some?
Pray, send her now for some days to me.
Splash

Splash splash splash
Rain coming down
Splash splash splash
Jumping in puddles
Splash splash splash
Boots hitting the ground
Splash splash splash
Sun coming out
Invisible
Published by Juliarose29 on May 16, 2013 - 01:20Threw the phone lines, I can hear you
Threw the wall I can feel you
Threw the window I can see you
But you still can’t see me.
Im invisible to you
I am not even there
You don’t care
Interrupted
Published by Juliarose29 on May 16, 2013 - 01:19Warm breeze
Weak knees
Cool air
Don’t care
The sand in between my toes
As I walk along the beach
Seagulls in the ocean
Causing a ton of commotion
Waves hit the sand hard
When Wheels Turn

as sparrows feed their
young -- accordion mouths
awaiting turns for food
I dreamed a dream, cursed are my thoughts.
Published by pumadelta on May 15, 2013 - 22:54It wasn’t me he thought:
He spoke,
Lying; defeat:
A prison he didn’t wish to share.
Barred from any dignity or resurrection;
Barren was his night, a heart no longer able to bear.
Bathe
Published by Chelsea.Anne on May 15, 2013 - 20:51How ephemeral you are
You who slick my supple skin
In rapturous bursts of cleansing birth
And lavishly spread it, then with smiling claws
Morning Prayer
Published by pkroutray on May 15, 2013 - 12:26Morning Prayer
P K Routray
Good morning God.
Pray I, seeking your gracious nod
Above ostentation, pride I should stay
with ignorance, anger, cruelty and fear kept at bay.
