The Process

"normal" poem this week.  quota for october: done.


The Process


I have a
Pensive pen and inkling ink
Converse convergent covers
Chanting penchants lankly linked;
A clustered cluttered manuscript

Contentious canted content
Hordes of hoarded increment
Encased, erased as fitting
Manifesto's manifest:
The lucky deftly left.
Perhaps,
Perhaps the best

The Rock Climber

a poem in under thirty minutes!  backward/forward variety. 


The Rock Climber

Arise above agitation

Rappelling
Gasped, “Endurance.”
Abrasions with standing
Uphill battles

Faced stone
Stone-faced
Battles uphill
Withstanding abrasions
Endurance grasped
Repelling agitation
Above a rise

The Ostrich

The Ostrich


Birds of many feathers
Ostracize the ostrich eyes
As sandy as the beach

A bleating, out of reach
Discordant, cerbrawl
Stifled to reprieval

Blissfulness in ignorance
Defenseless to the teeth
The alligator feeds
The beak is still, beneath

The Single Sock

The Single Sock


Sewn-together sox-life
Flailing frail compulsion
Simplified significance:
A trifling warmth, a shoeless sock
She needs a heel to tie the knot

Wrapped attention showing
Rapt affection sowing
Footwear fabrication
Closet alienations
Tad unraveled, watch her
Lose her partner in the washer
