a rascally rodent is he…
hailing from Punxsutawney
this marmot known as Phil,
he bends light and shadows
and dares to presume whether
winter’s days are numbered

A Ground Hog Day Cherita
Blue Moon
pie-faced moon
blushed rouge, earth shadowed
and blue sometimes, oh so blue
luminous
chasing stars away
owning the night

A Cherita (a linked poetry form of one-, two-, and three-line stanzas. Cherita is the Malay word for “story” or “tale”. Read more about the Cherita HERE.) My friend Jane Dougherty gave this form a whirl today and I thought I’d give it a spin too. Thanks Jane for introducing me to the Cherita! 🙂
Chipped Away
trust is tenuous
chipped away by betrayal
‘til there is nothing

For Haiku Horizons Challenge, prompt word, Chip.
Ochlocracy
ochlocracy
they crave attention
vowing no obligation
to covenants, revealing
loyalty in collusion
with the one who swears for sport
power corrupted
democracy is dying
while everyone sleeps

A Tanka/Senryu for Colleen Chesebro’s Tuesday Poetry Challenge inspired by synonyms of the words: Bond-obligation, swear, vow, covenant, collusion, loyalty and Seek-plead, crave.
Affirmation – Monday Magnets
you were born dazzling
as the stars on moonless nights,
wild as the ocean, brilliant as
flowers blushed with color;
your breath is a kiss of eternity,
breezy, slow, lingering…
so never let anyone say you
are broken…it is a lie
remember you are magic,
dancing to the rhythm of
the universe…poetry in motion
