Dwindling (a Haiku)
The sunset subsides
Behind dark clouds there’s a glow
Where light turns to night

“Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.” ― Leonard Cohen

An Emerald Tapestry
I resumed living last decade
Narrowly surviving gravities finality
Now, I lean against my tower’s balustrade
That overlooks an emerald valley
Echoing from my castle’s balcony
I hear Leonard Cohen’s words about life’s pagentry
Outlining the spiritual tapestry
Of commonality, morality, and vitality

On Weekly Prompts, the Weekend Challenge is post something just for the fun of it, and their prompt is: Just For Fun. Please go over and visit their fabulous site by clicking >> Here . .. And today my poem “Hypnotic Jasmine And Aromatic Coffee” is a fun piece I wrote at the ‘Box Office Cafe’ this afternoon…
Hypnotic Jasmine and Aromatic Coffee
Under a sapphire sky
bathing in purified sun
a cool sea-breeze drifts by
adroitly holding the exotic fragrance
of a hypnotic jasmine blossom
then the cafe’s aromatic coffee
flavours the air
as a tasty apple-slice
awaits to be sacrificed
beyond the pandemic’s vices

Did You Hear The Full Moon Sing?
Yesterday, spring arrived
Last night, a full moon ignited the sky
Today, warmth arose from the earth
Everywhere I walked
Nature stood there bountiful and proud
Everywhere I looked
Nature displayed her colourful shrouds
I saw a glossy black pony
Glowing in the paddock moonlight
And a garden of purple flowers
Bouncing in the sunlight
I saw tree-house sanctuaries
Homes for mystical faeries
And hollowed out logs
Comfy beds for spiders and frogs
Tonight, nature’s mockingbird will sing a lullaby
Tomorrow, the universe will hear no lie or alibi
