Inclined toward Opposite Movement Away from Systemic Velocity The stasis Of wild places Beckoning Where sentences Become wordless And coy with silence #poetry

Poets ledger Adds up To nothing Only columns Flush with words And doodles Nickels found Spent too soon Random coffee With a stranger Balance just Something lost Along with dimes And days A reckoning waits Somewhere sadly Wandering off Scribbler Without a care Looking for a reason #poetry #vss

Immersed in The tomfoolery Of daydreams Momentarily Reality in a corner Twiddling thumbs And pondering The etymology Of funny words Bookcase full of Vowels and consonants Arranged strategically Pages bound Black cat loitering On a shelf Patiently in the sun Anticipating tomorrow #poetry

Resolution of opposites thesis and antithesis Hinting at conclusion Synthesis however the starting point Giving rise to a new thesis In search of an opposite Naughty boy In the night Looking for a friend #poetry

Once decided That a decision Mest be left Pending Realization of Delightful ambiguity That pure potential Leaves room for Color on a palette Longing for canvas #poetry

Lost without And within Single words Aligned along Thoughts Only suggested Entire philosophies Encapsulated Ready to digest Haphazard letters Spelling The future Writing tomorrow On preprinted Pages #poetry #writingcommunity

Lost between Awkward words Sentences Misunderstood All the things That could Be said Tripped up On tied tongue Tortured concepts Temporarily Stuck up in The head Laughing loudly While the time Wanders off Perturbed #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity

Most amused to be Accused of a lo-fi vibe Resolution fades #haiku #poetry #senryu

Cognitive dissidents Huddled together Planning spontaneity No dissonanse Among them At all Just rolling dice At the edge of time #poetry #micropoetry

A guilty pleasure Temptation best if delayed If indeed I dare #haiku #poetry #senryu

Somewhat empty mind Imagining an idea Soon on wings away #haiku #poetry

Time to cast Shadowy spells Beyond the minutes Upon the clock Deftly so Into the void Of tomorrow And beyond Only brooms For sweeping Needed now Tidy up the past Curtains part Old calendars burn Lost but on the way #poetry #writingcommunity

Thoughts of yesterday Undifferentiated Memory collage #poetry #haiku #micropoetry

Silence Followed by Scary noises Full moon Accentuating Shadow Did it move That one Over there Just a limb In the wind No doors To close Or drapes To pull Only old Sleeping bag And sleep Letting go Of safety To dream #micropoetry #poetry #vss #writingcommunity

(Circular) ...Dancing With coffee in The future ruins Of tomorrow Oblivious to The coming decay Paying no heed To what others Might think Dressed for Disaster With fast shoes For fleeing And a skirt Short enough for Dancing... #poetry #Poem #vss #writingcommunity

Not counting syllables Or even lines Because linguistics Is hard #poetry #nonsense

Wandering always Wind doesn't know where to go Leaf away from home #haiku #poetry

Contour of The spirit Outlined against The self Pushing into The temporal Landscape The frontier Of Now A sublime Canvas To present Its own creation Being in the Process Of becoming #poetry #writingcommunity

The miraculous World of childhood Grasped for Ever after Never quite Within reach Of an adult With a needy fist But almost Nearly visable And desirable Hand full of Nothing real No rocks or bugs Or even snakes Just responsibilities Unable to hold Paradise #poetry #writingcommunity

We all come back for ourselves Eventually The whole Group of Splintered Souls left In the cold Of childhood In closets Under beds And dark corners Of deep cellars Mostly though Behind the mask Of adulthood Longing #poetry #writingcommunity

Temporary As if Anything else Were possible Even love Has limits The edge of Forever Not so very Far away A walk there Would be nice Before our hands Turn to dust And crumble Each holding The other If only Momentarily #poetry #writingcommunity

With eyes grown weary Looking at the year foregone Calender missing #poetry #haiku #senryu

Memories Like space And time Elastic Conforming As necessary Meeting the needs Of emotion Though snapping Back Unexpectedly Slightly bound By reality #poetry

Emotions being What they are Tethered to Nothing at all Time and memories Perceptions true Or imagined Too few calories Or an abundance Thereof Even a lack Of sleep A body fatigued Vulnerable to Their machinations Animating a body As they will When even a little Peace Preferable #poetry

Voted most Likely to Break a Small toe While putting On their panties Coordination Not a strong suit But stumbling Through life Not at all Intolerable Their lack Of agility But a distraction While narrating The disaster In tiny stories And silly little Poems #poetry #vss

False ego admires Reflection in the water The beauty of sky #haiku #senryu #poetry

Just words In the air On the wire Of the night Lips and keyboards Across miles Over oceans Meant well Or not Rather untidy Emotions scattered Letter like... Vowels helpful Consonants not Meanings lost Feelings hurt Misunderstanding Probable Repairs iffy If at all Possible #poetry

Nine two And counting The Underworld Exist only In the freighted Endeavors of Capitalism Underneath In shadows Rucksack full With dreams Of going #poetry #photography #writingcommunity

With eyes grown weary Looking at the year foregone Calender missing #poetry #haiku #senryu

Moving toward And away From destinations Unknown None the wiser For having been But all the same Grateful Heart such A lonely traveler In search of Somewhere Or someone Worth departing Rearview mirror Nostalgia Not looking back At all #poetry #vss #writingcommunity

Crystal ball Though broken Still entertaining What might Happen Or not Matters little The potential Of moments Full of promise Slip by Too rapidly To notice Outcomes forgotten What so Seemingly important Yesterday Tomorrow replaced With thoughts Somehow More trivial #poetry #vss

More than just one day With ephemeral flavor Temporarily #haiku #poetry #micropoetry

Nothing And something Are not Consistent When mind Doesn't know The difference Both lack The capacity To bring peace And equanimity To a 'this or that' Perspective Outside The wind is both Nonchalantly On its way #poetry #writingcommunity

This creature That needs To write As a means To make The interior More externally Manifest Releasing The little Wordy savages Into the wild Hoping they Might fend For themselves Don't forget To call Hollered and Waved to From the cave Of Lost desire #poetry #writingcommunity

Shadows cast upon Forest floor by tall maples Giants in the night #haiku #poetry #micropoetry

Atypical Though not Unique Nor special Just so so A little more Than others Absolutely nothing To brag about Unless inclined Idle chatter And whatnot So much More average Than most Keepable Folks like to say Or nonreturnable Perhaps A better specimen Would be hard To find #poetry

Didn't mean to But it happened Broke down last winter Wasn't in my car Broken mind Doesn't need to be fixed Just needs to break Till it's better Windows of a soul Outside glance Windy drapes Flutter #poetry #writingcommunity

Is nothing sacred Everything reduced to ash Monsters among us #poetry #haiku #senryu

Two Fragile thoughts In a trench coat Hanging out On yesterday's Forgotten corner Hands deep In pockets Sadly vacant Of meaningful coin Not looking at Passersby Closely Taking notes For later #poetry #micropoetry #vss #writingcommunity

When trying To write Shy words That ryme But still Possess Desired essence Pencil balks Paper looks Aghast Fingers drum A table That doesn't Understand #poetry #writingcommunity

Down into The depths Of the City Unyielding Chaos always Seemingly normal Achieving a Synchronicity That could not Be Choreographed Wandering the Unintended way Harvesting Happenstance As it Manifest In the moment A fulfilled Poverty Of abundance #poetry #sci-fi #vss #writingcommunity

Sky such a very Subtle color of salmon Waking to the dawn #haiku #poetry

Not yet fully formed Growing emotional bond Thin ice of winter #haiku #poetry

What day this Upon the dawn So tedious and Unforgiving Demanding all From an obviously Empty hand And offering Nothing in return Except the love Of dark creatures Disirous of more Than a soul In dire need And willing to Strike a bargain What day indeed Come to my door A-knocking #poetry

Shadow strolling From room To room In search of light Bright enough To exist Or shady places Dark enough For reprieve Cast upon Likely surfaces Or unsuspecting Passersby Monochromatic Afterthoughts #poetry #writingcommunity

Questions And questing With understanding Of answers Not to be Found Or perhaps Politely ignored If stumbled upon An inquisitive journey With inward eye Cast upon An exterior landscape With shoes worthy Of a soulful jaunt On whatever Crude path That beckons #poetry #writingcommunity

To escape From history As if it were A cage Striding forward Or at least Moving in that Direction The 'what was' Falling away Misinterpretation Only natural The present Distorted Upon arrival The future Shivering Or shimmering In Trepidation #poetry #writingcommunity

Stumbling through Parallel dimensions Wondering which Is the real? one Hands outstretched Gravitational feelers In search of home Ghost wander Room to room Grasping for corporality Knock on the door Doesn't help at all #poetry #writingcommunity

Anarchist Understands At the center of Everything A single kernel Of truth Fusion of Divine order And chaos So intertwined That only Individual's Attachment To particular reality Can assign a Positive or negative Value Until then Both/neither And somewhere A cat is smiling #poetry

The monkey That climbed down Out of a tree And put on A pair of Hi-top sneakers Still animates The old fool Who occasionally Snickers At what should By now be Considered juvenile #poetry #writingcommunity
