Magnetic Poetry Monday

beneath deep green cover
tendrils of warm sunlight
fall softly, earth wet with
dew, leaves rustling
in the breeze

Mr. Toad – Daily Lune #4

peeper in disguise
i see you
tree knob, eyes blinking

A Lune in response to Jane Dougherty’s Daily Short-form Poetry Challenge. I discovered this brave fellow in the dig run. Fortunately he’s a shapeshifter, my mutts none-the-wiser. 😊


Sunday’s Week in ReVerse – 3 June 2018

Happy Sunday. I’m on vacation this week, on “holiday” as some of you call it. I haven’t vacationed in years, using my allotted paid vacation days taking care of my partner post-back surgery, or my daughter post-c-section after the birth of my youngest granddaughter. I hardly know how to act or what to do with myself, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out just it in time for my re-entry back to work.

I like this week’s ReVerse. It’s an easy read…the perfect way to start my week of leisure. I’ll post at least once daily, but I have limited WiFi here. That’s a good thing I believe, forcing me to unplug.

Have a lovely week then. For now, I have an appointment with the screened-in porch with a view of the lake and a cool breeze! ❤️

Sunday’s Week in ReVerse – 3 June 2018

the sunlight’s soft, muted, no shadows to swoon
scent of blossoms, earthy musk
…a sweet time
in a dusting of dirt…
ironic, how greatness has become our undoing
you know I’ve always dreamed of it
rollicking mirth
nudging closer, closer
i am persuaded
liberated souls gather
flush of the morning
rooted deep, prevailing,
a thousand diamonds
outside my window
find me there

A ReVerse poem is a summary poem with a single line lifted from each entry of a collection of work over a particular timeframe and re-penned in chronological order as a new poem. Unlike a collaborative poem, the ReVerse features the words of one writer, providing a glimpse into their thoughts over time. I use it as a review of the previous week.


Daily Lune #3

night falls intensely
in the woods
whispering stillness

Daily Lune #3 inspired by Jane Dougherty’s daily short-form Poetry Challenge. And so out first full day of vacation commences. Last night outside our little lake cabin in the woods I was stunned by the stillness. This is going to be a good week. 😊


Saturday with the Muse

find me there
in the sacred
in-between moments
where sweet music
sings the heartsong
of my soul

outside my window
there is magic on the
breeze; words begging
to dazzle me with the
wild poetry of life

a thousand diamonds
whisper in the sun
though the lake is still,
beneath her smooth skin
life is singing
