The Magic Hat

Catrin Welz-Stein’s image   

 

The magician is the master

of wonders between the

worlds

 

In his hand high above

green pastures, he lifts

his hat of magic

 

behold the waters of

peace and tranquility

awaken to the sacred

swan song

 

celebrate the beauty

of life, have faith

in your heartfelt

wishes

 

abracadabra

 

believe sweet dreamer

in the magic of the hat

hold on to the wand of

enlightenment

Morning Sky

 


Nestled between the tall green pines
shimmering lake of morning reflection
kayaks rest on the shoreline of adventure

Awakening, the first breath of sunrise
glorious hues of purple, pink and yellow
light

Did you ever see a spectacular sky
that made your soul cry

Expelling Darkness, Absorbing Light

Image: Brooke Shaden

 

I face the sun

in a field of wheat

SCREAMING

expelling darkness

take these nightmares

filled with smoke, fire

and the stench of death

that plague this modern

world AWAY

 

absorbing  light, love

and hope for future

generations so that they

may sleep peacefully

in an  unmasked world

breathing in the

 goodness of life in a field

of wildflowers rooted

deep into the sacred

earth

Summer leaves in Autumn's Riff

It seems as though you are still summer
but, the songs of the trees have changed
summer leaves in autumn's riff
pulling at my heartstrings
falls leaves me singing
familiar tunes
crimson red
thoughts of
you

Prompt 2. For those who like a syllabic challenge, I invite you to write a NONET – a nine line poem that begins with 9 syllables, descending line by line to 1 syllable.
Select ONE of these 9 syllable lines as your opener (or more if you wish to write several nonets)

  • It seems as though you are still summer (cite Merwin) - my chosen line

Thank you for your visit

The Fox, Feather and Dream

Image Source   

mysteries of the silver tongue
words inked in a nocturnal realm
quilled ballads, forever unsung
mysteries of the silver tongue
dreams hidden from the morning sun
dying limbs of broken wing elms
mysteries of the silver tongue
words inked in a nocturnal realm

Do You Hear Me

I hear you've been eavesdropping

on me, but, have you been listening

to my words

 

do you count the

syllables of my thoughts

 

do you  hear me softly

whispering my intentions

 into the night

 

is the message of my

heart audible to  your

ears
