Sweet and Bitter Stuff of Wonder

Poetic Blooms #48 – What’s in the Shadows?
Shadowy reflections of once-crazy dancers –
That’s what we are
As we pass by each other
Neither seeing, nor remembering
Our true selves reflected in the window –
Shadows
Dancing
More true than
The hollow shapes
Dissocializing and
Distancing
Away.

WWP #99 – Bedtime tales
Sleep, my sweetness
wrapped in cleanness
taken to the dreamy city
where light
will never fade.
Sleep, my loved one
curled in softness
flying to the forest castle
where fight
was never lost.
Sleep, my beauty
cuddling Bunny
dreaming those enchanted
honey dreams
that will last forever
or at least until
the morning chill.

“Connections are everything” sets the spirit of the poetic prompt at the Poetry Jam this week. This week is also my first participation there, and I am headed to make it count 😉
Love Poem, (by the way)
Connect with me
Through that thought line
That keeps us both
Awake and waiting
At both ends of the phone line.
Relay to me
Through that hectic confusion
Caused by our sleepless
Caustic mornings after.
Devoid of touching you.
And haunted by frustrated dreams.
Relate to me
Using that old-fashioned
Bunch of flowers
That will invariably die
Uncared for,
Forgotten
On the kitchen table
Where I tossed them
Before I tossed myself
Into your arms
Forgetting thoughts
and phones
and dreams.
Get touched
And stay connected!

The Acrostic Only prompt for Food and Drink in March is CUPCAKE. I tried my hand at a Septilla. Just for the record, there are many nice septet forms. I found it hard to pick one. I am not a great lover of cupcakes, but can’t deny they have appealing looks 🙂
#F&D Cupcake
C upping my hands
U nder false pretence
P utting chill away
C uddling the reserve
A waiting the rebirth
K eeping warmer ways
E njoying sweet stands

Sunday Scribblings #309 – Search, I wrote a Quintain
***
The crying child will fall at last alone
with empty arms that we deceived him with
The whining wind of old is now all gone
to play its games around the house a bit
And search the path of days that runs forlorn.

One Single Impression #210 – Underground
My take is Alouette
***
Distant echoes fade –
glinting dull of jade,
endless search for ground is on.
Forests here remain
helpless in their plain
destiny of living on.
Gritting teeth in quiet,
bringing up a riot,
monsters chase the ghosts around.
Summon mighty friends –
they will then remain
biting lips deep underground.

Poets United, Thursday Think Tank #86 – Rebirth
Rebirth will need
a death.
last breath
given away.
first gulp
taken in thirst.
Recreate those gloomy
pieces of my way
where I stumble
gasping
for that breath of
rebirth.

Haiku Heights #109 Fate
Fate will call me to
its edge – oblique, transparent
to stare in dismay.
