PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Make Me a Prayer

Make me into an image

of refined ethereal

light and ghostly

tender, mallable

make me a scion of

beneficial abundance

goddess glowing

benevolent, caring 

turn me to good and

banish the calcium

forming in my heart

jealousy and evil

spite and spit

take me quickly to

forgiveness and court

tender and

malleable

light and

ghostly

Invasive Species

The invasive being

Lives its life not knowing

The evil it creates.

A gardener's quick snatch

Touts its demise

Pocketed to a destiny in the 

Garbage heap,

It sneakily

Grows again,

On the rubbish pile.

Sit (at Beaufort) on the Deck

Sit in the sun

The cold 

Sun

Steam from the cup 

Steam from the breath

Of the dog

Steam

Bouncing in smokestacks 

Across the sound

Down drafts 

A book of poetry

Falls thru the cracks of the wicker chair

Back to the wind retrieved 

Open random 

And read 

But the cold cuts 

And the sunset description doesn’t warm

But codifies the veins

In an oh-my-god image

Of sunset slices of blood

On the earth 

Standing looking at the horizon 

And relate 

And chase the dog inside 

To write
