The Sightseers

I declare myself King of Homophones. 



The Sightseers


Camera digests
Comrades, I'd just
Enable
An able
Two-wrist slump
Tourists lump
Memento made, just
Momentum, adjust
Attention to guide
A tension tug, I'd
Better carry on;
I'd not be left behind

BLACK FRIDAY SALE

BLACK FRIDAY SALE


Sainted Santa's
Urgent urgings
Seeping sappy
Listless luster
Shaping shoppers'
Lustless bluster,
"Buy another!"
Low commotion
By another
Loco motion
Milling mobs in
Millions bogged in
Mauling malls in
Black Friday missions
Of White Christmas visions

From Dusk to Dawn

metered haiku.


From Dusk to Dawn


Day's tenacious plunge
Prolonging wane will surely
Acclimate acclaim

Awe inhabits this
Collective recollection
Slyly slinking by

Melted tinge above
Abstaining from pronouncement
Gleaning quiet gleam

Mute and unrenounced
The moon and I affirming
Hours still as ours

Mirror in the Bathroom

it's not the best form for everything, but I do think it has a certain elegance to it.  backwards-forwards.

Mirror in the Bathroom


Occupied flourescence
Surrounding familiar
Marred mirrors
Reflections questioned,
"Who are you?"
Refracted silence
No answers, no
Silence refracted
You are who?
Questioned reflections
Mirrors marred
Familiar surrounding
Flourescence occupied

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
