Your blue eyes pierce me,
Seeing into my soul —
What is the ultimate goal
Except to drown in your sea?
For decades I could keep
Searching, and never find
All treasures of your mind,
Nor what makes your eyes so deep.
Shared with DVerse OLN. The poem was not exactly following but still inspired by this prompt.
Thought it was over:
Huge storm is arriving soon
Prognostication
I wrote this haiku yesterday for Frank’s prompt about the rainy season. As I post this, it is, as predicted, raining quite heavily.
For Frank J. Tassone’s haiku prompt for this week, about new greenness. Where I live, we have had some rain lately, which is unusual.
After the deluge
Verdant environment born —
Mid-May watering
This is a Lai poem for DVerse. I have written several of these in the past few weeks but haven’t wanted to post any of them.
Teardrop waterfalls
Blue the world, and call
To deep —
Wishing loss to stall,
Though one can’t have all
To keep —
There is much to haul,
Need — to scale a wall
Too steep.
When the sky is filled with gray clouds above,
It seems less likely that life’s looking up —
The sun, it needs to shine its light on Earth.
Yet love, there’s a treasure of immense worth
Hidden in the clouds, rain in life’s gold cup.
This is a cinquain and a quadrille for DVerse, where this week’s word is “up.”
For the Pix To Words prompt.
Big city // bustling marina
Five or six people sit on a bench,
Waiting, phones in faces, and
Do not see the sunlight glinting
On the surface of the sea.
Do not see the faces of companions,
Only their own reflection
In the smartphone screen.

Garden
Filled with verdant
Plants, greening surroundings,
Many butterflies brightening
The day.
The day,
Sunlight-flooded
Though shade-trees congregate,
Welcomes people into nature’s
Beauty.
Beauty
On ev’ry side,
Delighting eye and heart —
White clouds peek through the leafy trees
A dream.
A dream,
Eden evoked
By a babbling stream,
Daffodils by the water’s edge,
Joyous —
Joyous
Yellow-petaled
Loveliness beckoning,
Understand water’s babbling:
Rebirth.
Garden,
Sunlight-flooded,
Delighting eye and heart —
Daffodils by the water’s edge:
Rebirth
