The Hunt


bw/fw.  It's not the longest, but it feels complete, and I have other things to get done today.


The Hunt


Mortality
Blindly
Searching for forever
Calendars current
Under every rock
Another day passed
Sinking sun
Moments in years
In moment's
Sun sinking past days
Another rock
Every undercurrent
Calenders forever
For searching
Blindly, mortality

Amateur Actors' Hour

homophones and near-homophones.


Amateur Actors' Hour

Utterly dizzy
Uttered lead, is he
Speaking in riddles?  In
Speaking in Ritalin
Made him miss his line

Skittish movement
Skit in moves meant
To brandish gusto
Two brandished gusts, oh
There blows the script

Barely-fair costumes and
Burly fares cost humans
A plausible bundle
Applause-able, bungled
Props here hear no cheer
It's Amateur Actors' Hour
Of that this is clear

The Restless Empty House


backwards/forwards.  I'm happy to take requests, if anyone has something they'd like to see.  


The Restless Empty House

Dormancy
In support of simplicity
Doors closing
Footsteps retreating
Forebodings come out
Means: miasmic
What is this
Shrouded-quiet
Just-beyond-sight
Anomaly?
Site beyond just quiet
Shrouded
This is what
Miasmic means
Outcome: foreboding's
Retreating footsteps
Closing doors
Simplicity of support in

Dormancy

A Swamp Thing


I went canoe camping in a swamp once.  Lots of bugs and flora growing on the water,, the ground, hanging from the trees... lively place, I suppose.

Poem is another alternating homophone/simple rhyme.  From a writing perspective, alternating with easy rhymes is a cleansing complement to the somewhat taxing generation of coherent homophones. 

A Swamp Thing

I'd pacified
Petty hate
Ides pass if I'd
Check the date
Idle lei 
Round the throat
I'd allay
Strength by rote

In knee-deep, eating
All that's still
In needy peat, in
Algal swill
Dismal threats
Rotting masts
A small thread
Crumbles last
Amidst the fungus
Wilding gnats
A mist that fun gusts
Fuel the fast-
Fading past
Dust to mud
Ash to gas
