Rematch

Warm up for the bout

Sweaters at the ready and

winter boots dug out

Rock and Toil

Castles can never
reach lofty heights without a
solid foundation.
~

Blameless Solutions

When either or both
unhappy, result’s the same.
Fix or quit – no blame.
~

Love’s all Wet

Silently I sit,
puddled I sweat. Lagoon thoughts
immersed with you, wet.

Morning Triku #177 ~ Random Waves

Beyond the Glass

My windows are closed.
The air cold and leaves fallen.
Yet birds sing somewhere.
~

Sticky

With the glue of two,
broken hearts can mend anew.
Or someone gets stuck.
~

Self-Love

Love Unimpassioned,
is much like one hand clapping,
every morning.

In a Poet’s Garden

Roses born of prose

Lasting blooms, barbs wound and woo

Hues bright, rarely blue

Unforeseen Light

Shadows haze, gaze missed.

A day true ends nights un-kissed.

Shine bright, embrace twist.

Deja What?

I try to forget

deja’ vu so it doesn’t

bother me again

Beats Me

In a world of rhyme

all’s poetic, hearts bleeding

is life’s aesthetic.

Our Glass

Our sands of time are

Either warm and caressing

Or cold and dirty

Self-Rule

Life’s perspective is

our palette to draw from when

all points lead away

Baseline

A life spent boosting

Of one’s common sense is a

Life commonly spent

Alarming

The brightest sunrise

often occurs after the

longest darkest night

Unrest

Living the dream’s a

nightmare when always worried

about waking up .

Less is More, More or Less

When I’m writing less

I’ve far fewer excuses

not to write better

Morning Triku #66 – Love

Day‘s Anew

Minds still, souls at rest

Hearts beat quiet in our chests

Sharing life, dawns best

Timeless

The sun doesn’t set

Until the moon and the stars

Twinkle in your eyes

To Is

To love is to share

Good, bad, laughter and a tear

Soulfully aware

Some Things

Nothing from nothing

is nothing but something from

nothing’s poetry

Choose Light, Not Lightly

Shadows will follow

or lead, depending on your

choice of direction

Snooze

While living the dream

I woke with a scream, to find

My dream was a dream

~*~

Made to Grade

Education is

Time spent spending, learning is

Time spent on living

Longing to Write

As long as there is

Writers block I’ll have something

To not write about

Morning Triku 181 ~ If the Shoe Fits

Turning Point

You’re paranoid when
you use turn signals to turn
in your own driveway.
~

Not Berry Funny

You know you’re aging
When you imagine Aunt Bea
with long flowing hair.
~

Slowly Evolving

Inspired today
by a long walk in the woods,
one foot at a time.

Morning Triku #65 – Beauty

Artful Sight

Colors the world bright

Sunrise, sunset, dark of night

Paint box filled with light

Night Rhythms

Notes strewn, candles fade

Laughter ebbs, whispers consume

Heartbeats set the tone

Fine Line

Lustful sheets beckon

Bodies tingle, lips moisten

Blood boils – time to write!

~*~

Choose Wisely

“Ignorance is bliss”

Is a good motto to have

If the only choice
