Thunder pounds my heart.
Am i choosing right or wrong?
Paralyzing fear.

Rage boiling like hot
magma needing to explode.
Destruction. Then calm.

Queen and Knight, King and Page
Whisper secrets, age through age.
Dare you hear what they do tell
Love and joy or a death knell?
The Fool begins her journey long
Spry of step and full of song.

Spring transforms Winter
Bleak barren branches become
Bouquets of bright blooms
Why Poetry Is a Challenge (1)
04 Apr 2012 1 Comment
i find that writing poetry is a challenge for me when i am not in the middle of crisis or turmoil. When i am on a fairly even keel words often don’t flow easily.
And i am thinking… when the chaos overtakes and words flow out… will i be in a position to post those highly personal and intimate (and potentially drama causing for those who are in my life and around whom some of the chaos may be swirling) writings in such a public forum. i can totally understand Aniis Nin’s stipulation that parts of her journals not be published until after the death of those involved.

Dance. Spinning, whirling
swirling motes of light and soul
Atoms and God. One.
Why Haiku-styled poems
03 Apr 2012 Leave a Comment
i guess i can’t really call my poems haiku as they aren’t written in Japanese, but they are haiku styled. i love the discipline of 5/7/5 syllables and the need to include nature in some form. They are quick – and easy – and yet i find myself doing many quick re-writes as i go … to tighten form and create stronger images.

Beltane passions burn
From within her nectar flows
Quenching his Spring fire

With love’s gentle touch
Deep pink petals unfurling
Sweet honey springs forth

Spring storms lash hard, fierce
Rain and wind tear bloom from branch
Yet new growth comes still
