Dynamite

I thought I'd do a backwards and forwards one because I had not done one in a while.  It's a rather bland outcome of a poem, this week.  I'd rather be outside.


Dynamite

Revered
Carefully sifted
Valued highly
Powder to ground
Powers magic
Shaking earth
Ringing concussions
Problem solving
Explosions
Solving problems
Concussions ringing
Earth shaking
Magic powers
Ground to powder
Highly valued
Sifted carefully
Revered

Prismatic Effect

word collage.


Prismatic Effect
                                   
  this    water  (a summer state of   mind 
    light                        childhood  ) 
sundered    into     every     color
    the    laughter      smiling
 afternoon                   possibility 

bent    light    in   a    circle
back    back        rainbow 
to      to    the    over the
 watch      sun  moon      horizon

treasure  from    the   shores   of    stars
      made    a    pot        something
 visible    brief   of gold       more
        shimmering         beautiful   or less 
  mirage        image                    acute

then    there    came     a     cloud
  I   stood         an        over
        watering     end        the
   the yard     quietly    moment  spell

Ballet Studio After-Hours

homophones.  maybe next week I'll do a word collage.  any requests?


Ballet Studio After-Hours

An imaginable re-pose
An image in able repose
Imprisoned
In prismed
Simulation
Stimulation?
This mirror looks exhausted

Dusting
Dusk in
Somber hues
Some bear huge
Pointy shoes
Point issues
Sure to set the bar

Toe to heel
Tow to heal
These worn paces
These sworn spaces
Biting their lips
Biding their slip
The empty room
Holds its breath

The Thief

Free verse.  I'd forgotten how easy things can be when sounds don't have to be considered.


The Thief

Who is this theif?
Stealing my attention
I *just* catch my breath
I won't report a crime

Be my guessed
Be a mystery
Try for more
Nothing lost
If nothing takes

This Miss Deameanor
Same thing every year
Stained from tomatoes,
The chipmunk runs away

Caw caw!

homophonic.

Caw caw!

Raucous carrion

Rock us, carry on

You liars

Your lyre

Sees the day

Seize the day's

Doctrine of decay

Awful ganders

Offal, dander

A smorgasbord

As morgues aboard

A verse

Averse

To burial and hearse

Insects swarming

In sects, warming

In the bluster

Ravens, buzzards

And others, all voracious

Another salvo raises

They came, they saw

Crying like macabre macaws

Caw caw!

Caw caw!

Roller Coaster

This is the third poem in a row with summer on my mind.  Homophones.


Roller Coaster

Anticipation
And it's a patient
Standing teen
Stand in teams
Her next hug?
Harness, snugged
Instill calm!  Oddities
In steel commodities
Suspended
Upended
Water blasts
What a blast!
Ever the notion of
Every motion of
Racing too quickly
Raising to quickly
Heightened alarm
Height and all arms
Wrecked if I'd
Start to break
Rectified,
Starts to brake
Coming to a rest
Calming too impressed
Riders getting off
Already back in line

Sudden Downpour

I wanted to add another stanza, but after about twenty minutes of coming up with nada (and watching Amanda play Halo) I decided it wasn't getting any longer.  Word collage.


Sudden Downpour


if   rain's   not  for  falling what is   it
  this           the ducks        summer 
     blushing         to    dabble       for?
  morning    sky
     sagely   should   come   
 surrenders     release    down  on   me

a    smell  so   lavendar  the
 leaf  hovers  fresh     grass
making      like   dew  would
  veined  faces      drop  smile

playing    follow    the     liter
  leapfrog,    me!   end  is
    a                 nigh  not so bad
     second  unmasked
