March Pi-Archimedes #8


infinity ad nauseam

no end no
beginning
symbolism borrowed from mathematics
empowerment
and expressions of never-ending love
an overused, pretentious icon whose end is long overdue

Faith Restored

To the WomanWho Told Me to Have a Nice Day…

I can’t forget what
you did…forgive me,
I never got your name, but
I wish I had, so
I could thank you for
being you, for doing
what you did that day,
without even trying, no
hint of forced intention,
because
that’s just who you are…
kind,
with a helping hand,
a ready smile, and a word
of encouragement in
the midst of my shitty day…
I can’t forget what
you did…forgive me,
I never got your name, but
I wish I had, so
I could thank you

For SundayWriting Prompt “Faith Restored”. The challenge: With allthe negativity in the world at the moment I thought we could all take a momentto recognize the heroes in our lives, people who have restored our faith inhumanity when all hope seemed lost.

Youneed not know the person personally just so long as they had an impact on yourlife or the life of someone near and dear to you.


March Pi-Archimedes #7

winter burn

bright mornings like
this
beautiful blue, sunlit skies
deceive
notice how the birds keep
silent vigil on tree limbs amidst frigid air, breathless

March Pi-Archimedes #6


clockwork

the second hand
convulses
devouring moment after moment
lost
to history, never to return
the only way to capture time is to breathe

The Blatherskite

The Blatherskite

loquacious
quibblers are fluent
nigglers who
will nitpick
vociferously…it’s best
to listen and nod

A Shadorma for Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge – Synonyms Only – Poet’s choice. For my words I chose Dictionary.com’s most recent words of the day: Pettifog – quibble, niggle, nitpick & Voluble – loquacious, fluent, vociferous. I couldn’t resist packing all these beautiful words into one outrageous poem.
