breathing is overrated
when beautiful wild flowers
blossom and fresh spring
scents sweeten the
breeze…I wither while
they bloom

Consumed – NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 9
night swelling blackness
moonless, milky spray muted
settling stillness
but for the hissing flicker
of a single wick consumed

Daily Poem #9
I imagine words that become poems are like fireflies, floating in my head; flying embers, glowing amber-red, ever so briefly, lost forever if I don’t snatch them up, singeing my fingertips ink black.
shush, can you hear it?
the flicker of a new thought
becoming a word

nocturnal – NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 8
of things that go bump
on moonless nights, the veil
pulled back, dimensions
blurred, the tiptoe of specters,
it could be my cats, roaming
there, there now, of course,
a lucid explanation…
but, i don’t have cats

A bit of whimsy in the form of a Tanka/Senryu for the Day 8 NaPoWriMo 2018 Challenge. Prompt: write a poem in which mysterious and magical things occur. Your poem could take the form of a spell, for example, or simply describe an event that can’t be understood literally.
Florescence #8
spring is in flux, bitter
frost nip, songbird chitter,
shadow perched, a-twitter, shivering
