heart of the poet
she poems
with all of her heart
penning words
in notepads
with each line she feels closer
in finding her voice

Friday
Friday seems so far away
on Monday mornings
when the week stretches
down a long path
even when one reaches
the middle of the week
Friday is still that star
you cannot touch
when Friday arrives
you find it’s sweet
nectar is too fleeting

they waited for hours
in anticipation
moon crossing sun
day turning to night
for fleeting minutes
before daylight returns

first car
his first car wasn’t much
but it had contours that
ignited his heart for speed
the bright color drew the eyes
of men and coy smiles of women
it broke his heart the day
it went to the salvage yard
but his memories remained

sevenling: spring blossoms

we lounge under cherry trees
in blossoming hues of white,
light pink and reddish pink
we listen to sounds of spring –
chirping birds, children laughing,
the ice cream truck’s jingle
if only this season would last forever
- This poem was inspired by
dVerse Haibun MOnday: first (cherry) blossoms
. I wrote my poem as sevenling rather than a haibun poem.

we dance around
we dance around the
pink elephant in the room
trying our best to avoid
the sharp edges that threaten
to pierce our boundaries
we both know what needs
to be said but our lips
stay sealed as our voices
linger silently in our throats

love versus fate
beautiful eyes
like a golden dawn
lingers in his dreams
for so long
silver smiles
was a love call
to her yearning heart
from the start
fate’s sentinel
watches from afar
cuts the lines clean
with no regard
- Written for
dVerse Poetics: Daffy for Daffodils, Sprung for Spring
. I used the following daffodil variety names: beautiful eyes, golden dawn, silver smiles, love call and sentinel
