eyes averted
cheeks flushed red
tells me you’ve
a few aces
up your sleeve

tell me

but
your secret

42 Day 9 for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Poem Challenge.

Reaching
how high is the sky
its bright cerulean dome dappled
with orbs, stars, and clouds
some dreamers spend
a lifetime trying to
crack its elusive ceiling
~kat

god
are you there
watching us make a mess
of your beautiful garden
of course, you’re not there
you’re here, image buried,
forgotten in crumbling clay
~kat

Pond
ever long for
swift current sweeps
the murky dross, unsettling
still, mired in inertia
cool surface, scarcely rippling
from raindrops and pebbles
