Beak Freak Sings the Blues
I am not your Jacques Cousteau
depth exploring
Calypso dreamer
No film flicker docu meaning
in cold hands
ice numbed
Sanguine divine penguin
back to the wind
storm shelter
I am not your Jacques Cousteau
You are not my shelter
Nicely done, K baby. No, I am not your shelter, (yes, I know it was about us). *winks*
I thought of writing something light but decided to challenge myself a bit. This is my first attempt at a Ghazal, and probably not a good one, but here goes...
Ghazal the Distance
I find her slate cleared and ask if it’s morning.
Knees pinch a trim waist in bathtub this morning.
Face north; the cloud count is higher than normal.
Measuring raindrops for drinks in the morning.
One new, the absence has eaten her laughter.
Photos and leather have opened her morning.
Once, on an ice flow, I dreamed of a penguin,
who told me it’s warmer to swim in the morning.
Trapped in a sunspot, she kisses the weather
and waits for Chuck's signal to tell her it’s morning.
