The Ruck

Muscles taut
sinews twitching
a Maori
dance of dominance
laughing sweating bleeding
all over a ball

Life imitates art...

Orange green and gray on amber

Fire, flora and sky

wrestle to comply

as nature paints

it's own Rothko.

Let me tell you a story...

Aurora

Gliding gracefully,

scrawling poetry

in eloquent strokes,

her tiptoes

bleed profusely

wherever she dances.

Some people just get taken too soon......why?

Goodbye, Torrey.

Goodness

Overflows,

Overwhelms.

Dutiful,

Beautiful,

Youthful

Exuberance

Triumphant?

Ominous?

Ruinous?

Regrets

Enshroud
Yesterday!

Why admonitions or premonitions

for apprehensions about inclination?

Lamentations over lost adoration

occasion this destination.

The Bosses' granite tunes

lay like archaic runes

illuminating the aural path

into my soul.

far fetched claims....

Nature's

Survival of the Fittest

Goliath came, David saw.

David fought maw and paw.

Goliath's claim to his fame

lay lame in shame in David's claw.

Light Showers

Fountains of glimmer

rain upon the night.

Illuminating our need

for brilliance.

Twisted Cents

Something dear

held for money,

will earn you

a state felony

unless called support.

Funny?

Ain't no claim jumpers 'round here!

As I post these little works from weeks past, I am going from the latest to the earliest. These will come rapid fire, so you may want to browse back a few posts to get through all of them to the last regular post, another original poem entitled "The Cold Ghost". Besides posting old works from recent weeks, I will posting the usual holiday events and some info on the latest rugby happenings. SO, come on around and get an eye full and enjoy the little things going on in my life. Maybe, just maybe I'll take some more pictures too!

Wanton

Tasted twice, insatiable vice,

painstakingly aching for more.

Supply depleted, resolve defeated,

victime de l'amour.

If I did the work I get to claim it!

These are a bunch of my submissions for the 15 Words Or Less poetry challenge at Laura Purdie Salas' blog site. She does this each week and it is not only fun but challenging. It is one of the few stops I try to make every week. Besides getting to wrack my brain, I get to read submissions from a whole slew of other talented writers. Check it out and give it a go!

Venerable Veils

Lightly dusted,

flecked and speckled,

salt and peppered dome

seasons pass

creeping slowly

adding yearly wisdom.

Hypnotized

by splendor,

I fall,

a victim

of beauty

once again.

Sandcastles

eroding gently,

as beach apes

stroll away,

here I lay,

on display,

remnants of

existence.

DOMINO!!

Forty-two eyes peer

from under wood veneer

as vibrant ivory bones

call chicken foot

for effect.

Pencil-whipped

I win again....

Tis the season...

I stop every week over at Laura Purdie Salas' website to participate in 15 Words or Less, a poetry writing exercise based on a photo for inspiration. It is fun and there are a whole bunch of good writers who contribute. And although Laura has taken a sabbatical from the exercise, Susan Taylor Brown has graciously taken up the onus of working through all the details to make it happen each week. So go give LPS and STB a visit and enjoy some of the great reading to be had.

I like it so much that I am including my weekly contributions right here. There is a list of them on the right if you want to look them over.......or not. So until this weeks is posted, I'll be reposting some of my earlier contributions here including this one.

Seasons

Pillar of the earth,

rock the sea of my senses.

Fracture my taste buds.

Granular!

Nature's Pews

Basking in brilliance,

gently gyrating,

the multitudes move

to what Fr. Mockingbird is saying

AMEN!
