restless sleep, pale moonlight
no dreams to keep…long night

Essence #28 for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge. When I can’t sleep, I wander outside to be with the moon and the stars and the lovely silence of the night while the rest of the world sleeps. It can make for a very long night, but sometimes…I write. 🙂
moments,
where infinity and magic
collide, are the instants
inspiration
finds breath

snow gets old, a bummer…
we’ll miss cold come summer

Day 27 for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge. As much as I complain about the cold, I am well aware that once mid-summer arrives I will be begging for relief from the heat! We are never happy. 🙂
my garden is
a symphony of
weeds and rocks;
a purple sea of
sweet petal spray
whispering on
the wind

Magnetic Poetry – Original Kit
It’s been a wild week weather-wise. Springlike warm, cold grey, snowing, blossom laden trees, bent to breaking, forced resignations, faux news-hack hirings, stolen elections, widget tariffs, market crashes, reality show drama, porn stars, playboy bunnies, temper tantrums, vetoes, kids in the streets acting like adults, adults checked out, on recess, golfing, Lenten vespers swelling, alms of palm, stormy weather looming…blue skies dazzling, melting snow.
It’s been a crazy week for the weather. But spring is coming! It’s just a matter of time, they tell us…just a matter of time.
seems odd, quite out of place
springtime’s first dazzling sight
magic is in the air
Are you kidding me?!
just one more minute’s snooze
equal parts luck and timing
lost hope and pipe dreams collect
the edge of lunacy
calendars say it’s spring
my favorite place…
weighed down, bent to breaking
the treasure was long gone
don’t say I didn’t warn ya’
the orange fool went mad
assimilation
beautiful roses
they’ve no place called home
diversity’s extolled,
clouds of grey, muted light
a thousand whispers
night lingering

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.
