dawn is truth’s ally
its light burns fog into mist
exposing secrets

Fragile…a Terzanelle
how fragile life is
a hiccup in time
how fragile life is
touched by the divine
miraculously
a hiccup in time
yet vast as the sea
a breath, a soft sigh
miraculously
though all things must die
to be born again
a breath, a soft sigh
beginning to end
interconnected
to be born again
sweetly perfected
how fragile life is
interconnected
how fragile life is

(A Terzanelle Poem)
Emotions
Art from cliparts.co
A new form that I’m trying today…the Acrostic Poem. My samplings, a study in opposites…
SADNESS
Someday I hope you can remember
All the good things about us
Days of happiness, carefree, loving
Not that I want your pity
Everything happens for a reason
Still I miss how easily we fit
Seems we just outgrew one another.
HAPPINESS
How do I explain this
All-consuming feeling
Perfectly
Packaged
In a word
No single word is
Ever adequate
Sometimes
Simplicity, just being it, is best.

The Fourth Estate
The Fourth Estate
If not for our brave Fourth Estate wielding
its ink-dipped sword of truth, we might
be relegated to alternate reality that
spews from lofty golden towers and
seeping bubbles oozing putrid slime.
Forever reign, oh Fourth Estate! Protect
us from the creeping goo that drips from
salivating tongues hungry for the souls
of fools who still believe the earth is
white and darkness dwells only in
light, where up is down and there is
when, who cling to lies of haughty
men, who slay the loathsome meek to
win, to fill their coffers to the brim…
We’re all but lost but for the brave
who rally at the gates of Hell, who scrape
away the dross and live to tell, who rise
up with tenacity for only they can keep
us free, speaking truth to power to the end.

Brilliance in Brokenness – Magnetic Poetry Saturday
we are surrounded by
velvety air, blush with
flowery perfume and
the lingering breath of
decay, for life is a dance
of brilliance and brokenness,
just as the universe dazzles the
vast darkness with haunting
memories of dying stars
