Star analogy if God was watching movies making Jiffy Pop. #micropoetry #senryu #haiku #poetry

You should know I used to smile at others absentmindedly, all the time and now, because of you I never do. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry #writemap 400

Now I know we were only ever half-in-love but with dreamy-eyed disregard we clung to each other for far too long. #micropoetry #poetry

This morning Ella met a lovely yellow lab in the elevator. Stella. 14 years old, incredibly for a big dog, as her human said, but in pretty good condition. Later we saw them walking slowly, and he was softly singing to her. Beautiful singing. No wonder she’s lived so long. 🐶🩷

Everyday I empty something from the drawer saved papers, an ink dry pen a card that says "I love you" because it's about time and everything ends. #micropoetry #poetry #5lines #writemap 399

A luninous blue through the stark birch branches scraping white lines of sky until sudden snow flies. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

One dozen pink glazed donuts I forget about our fight while licking my fingers. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry #writemap 398

The daily ebb and flow contentedness to distress I know I'm not alone wind in the willows a poem's warm caress. #5lines #micropoetry #poetry #writemap 397

The gift he gave me his warmth and love in a box no ribbons attached #haiku #micropoetry #poetry #writemap 396

In the midst of darkness a brilliant torch appears an emerging sun all of us rising up. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry #tankathursday

Such a rumble-bumble above our heads and the spit-shine rain clatter-tatters the windowpane and we clap our hands with joy. #5lines #micropoetry #poetry

A pale winter sun tepid and cool as weak tea offers bare comfort. #micropoetry #poetry #haiku

I do want to be an angel when I die one that is lithe and willowy floating amongst the stars some may think I'm falling but really I'll be flying down to sit and think and gaze up at the starry sky. #micropoetry #poetry

Suddenly, the rush of brilliant sun emerging from billowy cloud. #micropoetry #poetry #haiku

I dress all in gray to match this January day and I blend so well that I almost disappear in the oppressive cloud swell. #5lines #micropoetry #poetry

A poem laden with manifold density pine trees in misty fog hidden paths and hoots where all is unclear except possibility. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

Some days I swear I turn to see your smile and catch instead a luminous glow from your half-hidden halo My sweet angelboy. #micropoetry #poetry

Soft, soft this snow & wouldn't we all do well to learn its lesson of persistence & quiet grace the art of finding peace. #5lines #micropoetry #poetry

I peer intently out the window only hours till darkness falls and this feather light snow its tender descent will go softly incognito again. #5lines #micropoetry #poetry

I eat the lucky foods today wealth, health, longevity, but what I really want is pie as in a film I saw that says "there is no bad pie" and that's how I really intend to live this year. #micropoetry #poetry

My rich inner life conjures some exploding fireworks & pops the champagne cork I toast my own fabulousity as bubbles tickle my brain another year I am remade. #micropoetry #poetry

I turn away from the gray dismal thoughts & sad times a choice to go, to not remain tarnished mirrors & old dimes faded lace & rainy days. #5lines #micropoetry #poetry

You cannot begin again where you were the thick oak door disappears all that remains is a tree sprouting new leaves. #5lines #micropoetry #poetry

I persist flying in the face of some indefinite, but ultimately fatal mortality smiling bravely anyway. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

Thoughts eggshell-pale ivory and vanilla, ghostly and mostly invisible. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

Nature's orchestra wind taps its wand for quiet rain's overture swells. #micropoetry #poetry #haiku

I crave the fogged cold misty muted snow distant traffic sounds like bells and each yellow streetlight holds a pool of gold. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

Due to being wide awake at this late hour I think that Santa will pass me by not even the hot chocolate and walnut brownies will save me this time. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

I wait for this week to end so I can write a poem that isn't sleepy and sad not filled with endings but new beginnings instead. #5lines #micropoetry #poetry

Little night poems stuffed with stars make prickly packages ones that sparkle prettily blocks of bright and brittle ice. #5lines #micropoetry #poetry

A foggy moon and she was sleepy gazing out the window all dreamy and soothed. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

Jittery static a black and white instability snow battering a dim streetlight's glow. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

d i s t a n c e, never far; so this feeling— is it you, is it me? or is it your d e l i c a t e heart— thorned, to guard mine that i feel? #poetry

Seeing the red roof on an icy gray misted day pop of cranberry. #haiku #micropoetry #senryu #poetry

Red fruits in season shiny russet apples scarlet cranberries the deepest burgundy plums and you, my heart's ripest love. #5lines #micropoetry #poetry

The clouds lounge causing long shadows to caress darkened windows what lies behind silently waits the coming rain. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

The lights barely blinking fading then finding bright red, yellow, green, blue my minds finds the white and shines like stars at night. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

Soft falling snow would bring me peace dulling the clamoring din settling into sharp edges a sifting of sweet silence. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

The wind howls at this wild hour and my hand seeks yours across a vast expanse. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

Winter bristling the bony black branches their tossing arms helpless to the whims of a relentless wind. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

He said it was accidental that her broken heart was not what he intended only the result of her unrealistic expectations. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

She set out the cream colored plates with tiny strawberries painted in deep rose and red lovingly she served herself sweet tea and toast. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

An evening's dessert a powdered sugar dusting decorates the earth. #haiku #micropoetry #senryu #poetry

A pelting December rain dissolves leftover snow like sugar in my cereal bowl. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

How do poems happen a poet sees a tree, a star, a moon or nothing at all they feel a leaf, a sparkle, a glow and then they just know. #5lines #micropoetry #poetry

Three endless gray days not even a flake of snow I just shrug, sadly. #micropoetry #poetry #haiku #senyru

On a blue-iced night a pale golden light streams from a distant barn horses stamp and neigh to a sugar-soft country sway. #micropoetry #5lines #poetry

Rain and hail and snow and mist I raise my face to it all and drink deep. #5lines #micropoetry #poetry

hush child, listen— as the Moon dreams... a delicate veil of clouds sigh across her face

trees field & hedgerow bathed in silver light sharp silhouettes & shadows cast the cold moon creeps tonight
