Poetry in Motion for 4/12 – 5/20

[i]
The wishful glimmering ladybug impression:
She flies oblivious with no destination
Upon a new winter.


[ii]
Silky darkness heavywithmemories
A crescent planetstar desire of Tomorrow

[iii]
Kindergarten cakes have churchladies fragrance
When carnations misshapen house Mary

[iv]
Demons borne in crippled innocence
Fate the delicate angel’s tears captured in dreams

[v]

She dips liquid fingerreeds
In lime-greenandsilver waves

Bubbledarts grotesquely
Chortle the water’s
Pink childsummer

[vi]
Scattered thoughts
Of soft dusky kisses
Dying somewhere in Eden

[vii]
the red is bow tie around her neck
the blue is vacant of all expression
art is just another exercise in time management

[viii]
did you ever see or hear the man who
played musical chairs with himself?

[ix]
you only need a savoir
if you think you’ve done wrong.
you only need a savoir
if you think you need saving.

[x]
depression is the common cold
that drills a four inch hole in my head

[xi]
math finds the cosmos
in the celestial passages of seven planets

[xii]
if math is just a jumble of theories
and the ones that work are kept
is the same true for humans?

[xiii]
hot box fire dragons
engulf petty reminders
of fading culture

[xiv]
if i ever wondered about
starshapes and kaleidoscopes
i never let on
afraid you’d find the
hypocrisy in it

[xv]
pitter patter of little feet
running running down the hall
art deco
seems to spread their wings
father apart
and the calculated
risk of loosing
just one feather
is tantamount to icarus flight into the
sun

[xvi]
crinkled lullabies
the crackled antennae of a lovefooled moth
battered from too many beatings
against the white light
and the white heat
of an obsession

[xvii]
i thought i was this little girl laughing
or maybe it was just a memory
i thought i was this little boy
galavanting through dreams
a babyblue bedsheet cape
strapped to his shoulders
or maybe it was just a moment
in time for wishing

[xviii]
james bond
could have been a
gemini priestess if
the powers at be
had given him more
heart than charm

I loved almost all of those CL! However there was one that caught my attention more than the rest.

[viii]
did you ever see or hear the man who
played musical chairs with himself?

I loved that one so much i just had to make it msn display name (hope you don't mind) No idea why that one though. Anyway, great short pieces there. I'm a huge fan of short things like that when they are done well, as you demonstrated.

Great work.

That was really cool. Some of them were kind of random, but I like all of them.
