Mist
The earth exhaled And in her breathing The morning paled, Fae mists seething Beneath a hidden dawn. Befogged I stray, My landmarks gone In an ambiguity of grey And I wander in search of the day. Sign in to see full entry.

Star Dance
The crowds hunched down against the winter, Huddled against the North wind's cat o'nine As if the moisture of their breath might freeze and splinter All gazes were on their feet apart from mine: Eyes turn up above the street lights, I watched the stately tango of the stars. In the ice trimmed... Sign in to see full entry.

Skiver
I am troublesome, mischievous And disinclined to work Every hour of the day When there are better things to do. I am determined and devious In finding ways for me to shirk My duties and go out to play, To have fun and to remind you Not to let work make you sour and staid: You only do it to get paid.

The Shopper
The weather's remarkably cold, I know that they said it would be, "All stay at home" we were told But I didn't think that they meant me, So I tried to nip out to the shops Just to get a couple of bits, But I found that my car wouldn't stop And the traffic suffered some hits. Now I'm parked round a... Sign in to see full entry.

A Winter Morning
Morning, garbed in bridal white, Appears gentle and demure; Bashful in her gown of sheerest samite She enters, timid and unsure. Stark features softened by the misty veil That billows and swirls with her sighs The silk of her skin is outshone by the pale Passion that burned in her eyes: Its breath... Sign in to see full entry.

Here
I am here if you should need me, Here as a lover or a friend, A distraction or a confidante, A shoulder or an ear Or any other thing that I can be; Here to nurture or defend, To offer anything you want Or need, I'm here. Sign in to see full entry.

To Work
I don't want to come out today, I'd rather go back to bed And rest in slumber's tender arms, Quiet and at peace. I don't want to come and play, I'd rather stay at home instead Of enjoying your frugal charms And malicious caprice. Why can you not go away? Why must I follow where you led, A slave to...

Spring Heart
I carry Spring within me, I bare the flowers and the gentle sun Nestled in the gardens of my heart. Winter's winds cannot depress or dismay When I can close my eyes and see His bitter works softly undone And replaced with Spring's gentle art. Unbowed, unbothered by December's grey My heart is owned... Sign in to see full entry.

Word Charmer
Serpentine, from their wicker cage The words rear back and dance; They writhe and sway Patterning their paper stage With scenes of beauty and romance, Responding to the tune I play: Moving to my beat in their own way. I call the tune, they choose the dance And between us we make a show To entertain... Sign in to see full entry.

In Silence
Sometimes I don't know what to say, Not because of a lack of care Or a lost will to communicate But because I can't think how to tell The sun how much I love the day Or to thank the world for being there: How can I talk to the fate That's more bright than Fate could foretell And say just "hello, I...
