Unaffected – 42 Day 16

Unaffected

I could lose myself

in the rain tapping on the window…plop…plop
mid-day drowsy, under fluorescent lights, strobing

I could, but I won’t
it has taken me far too long to find myself…
and this isn’t me…no, not by a long shot

Day 16 of Jane Dougherty’s Daily Poem Challenge: “42”.


42 Day 15

muted dawn and this

heaving, heavy,
wet-grey stillness

would that the rain would
come, blackening the sky
cooling us with its tears

42 Day 15 for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Poetry Challenge.


Hearsay – 42 Day 14

have you heard

the latest titillating
scathing, scandalous news

wise inquirers will
reserve judgment for
the horse’s perspective

42 Day 13

remember me?

fragrant first bloom
on thorny pedicle

purest petals, unfurled
remember me when the wind
whispers you away

Eros, blood and tears
of Venus, Aphrodite

prickly hybrid
legendary bloom
a rose is a rose is
