Challenge: The perfect ten.

[Guest]

Looking out across still waters
the music is sweet.
Life.

 

[eagleyez]

siren
voices
singing minor third
harmonies-

the ocean
is a woman.

 

[Lostdriver1964]

Smiling eyes
behind
a mirroring glass.

Happiness is you.

There.

 

[Liar]

sometimes sparrows
forget landing
and fall

sometimes thoughts
forget falling

 

[Guest]

sometimes sparrows
forget landing
and fall

sometimes thoughts
forget falling

failing thoughts
fall
flailing
floundering
finally finding flat ground
flourish.

 

[Tathagata]

failing thoughts
fall
flailing
floundering
finally finding flat ground
flourish.

depressing declarations
drop down
desperately
doomed
dying
detached
disgusted
dead

Do you see now?

 

[Angeline]

always
asking

anxious
about
anything

antiquated
arguments

arcane
adament
adversaries

 

[minsue]

futility is
talking
politics
especially
with
those
you
love
dearly

 

[Merrymaker]

ocean sparkled
turquoise eyes
wind tossed hair
brushes sunburned thighs

 

[Tathagata]

ocean sparkled
turquoise eyes
wind tossed hair
brushes sunburned thighs

sea green eyes
sunset hair
billowing sarong
soft salty kiss

 

[Angeline]

rain patters
on tin roof
wet
our mouths
drip kisses

spring unfurling
birthed arching
in the willow
and your eyes

know silence
speaks laden
with sun
golden warm
like honey

 

[Angeline]

grandfather
buying honey
the Florida sun
the sunken hive
treasure

in perfect circles
oranges stacked
like ornaments
on green

the yellow grapefruit
the old man pointing
this one
this one

brownbag crackle
pigtails sandpails
Scott Street
hot tea
with honey

 

[Liar]

Come plain,
uncomplicated,
complete,
compassionate.

Complain not,
compromise not;
compose.

 

[Ms_Lilith]

The poem is called "Fair Warning"



It reads:



'Till death do us part.'










When I was 15, I was cynical about marriage.

 

[OT]

can we do tomorrow
like yesterday
please

 

[Liar]

firmly pinned,
shining arch,
room for two:
the perfect tent

 

[postobitum]

cease -
open slate portals.
soft skies beckon,
sing with me.

 

[Merrymaker]

breathless between a shared smile
we continue...race to finish

 

[Tathagata]

breathless between a shared smile
we continue...race to finish

some sort of contest
who will get jello knees first?

 

[Guest]

N   faith
O   or
     trust

N   longer am I
O   your friend

 

[postobitum]

forgiving, divine influence.
accepting soul bloom.
Please, take me back.

 

[Vampiric_Mirage]

This poem is titled "Heaven & Hell"

Heaven’s taste
Hell’s fiery touch
My heart’s destruction
Either way




Yay! My first ever post!

The Precipice of Love (poem)

 

[tarablackwood22]

endless days
day after day
in dry and patterned rows

 

[Tathagata]

endless days
day after day
in dry and patterned rows

repetition
force of habit
don't think just obey
