Stillness (6-Apr-2013)

Here's the Pleiades variation on Movement.

Stillness

---

Stranded sky, concave glass
Spreading light on blue lake
Sloth field, lazy summer
Setting on empty path
Silly bear, laughing flame
Spotting antique table
Sitting and Standing Stone

Movement (4-Apr-2013)

This just popped into my head with no particular form. After looking at it, I thought it might be interesting to do "variations on a theme" by using almost the exact same words in strict forms. We'll see what happens.

Movement

Stranded sky
Silver jacket
Concave mirror
Spreading light on blue lake

Open meadow
Eager fawn
Lazy summer
Setting heavy on empty path

Grizzled bear
Rising globe
Laughing candle
Dripping wax on antique table

Over and Under
In and Around
Forward and Through

Weather (18-Feb-2013)

I realized that I have never posted a haiku. The weather outside sounds bad so this is what came to mind.

Drenching Rain Pours Down
On Slow Moving Death To Bring
Green Billowing Life

East (16-Jan-2013)

I can't believe it's been a year since I wrote last. I've decided to increase my prolificity and what better way than to make an addition to my Pleiades collection. Since it is Wednesday, it seemed reasonable to use Three Word Wednesday to oil my rusty muse.

Eating Dismal Waffle
Every Bird Hopes To
Entreat From Hallowed Ground
Early Luscious Worm Tries
Escaping Beak And Claw
Existing Past His Fate
Enjoying One More Day

Poker Party (11-Nov-2011)

I had a pretty rough time during that period when I had my operation. I found one that I wrote in my journal that I forgot to post. The combination of pain, percocet, and long empty days brings out some pretty dark things.

Can't sleep and have pain. Guess I'll clean.
My demons have come to visit;
They all sit about me
Dressed in colors of death.
They know me.
My protector is not here.
Jealousy, Vanity, Rage, Envy,
Lust, Hunger, Self-Doubt;
They sit around the table
And play cards for my soul;
Dealer's choice.
The deck is stacked and the winners known
And still they play.

Be (16-Nov-2011)

Had an operation last week and was having some pain last night so I took a percocet.  This was the result.

Be

---

Butterflies bring babies
Borrowing blue balloons;
Buzzing bees buy blessing
Bishops blow brown bassoons;
Bridges bridging bygone
Boats bobbing back beyond
Believability

Dove (9-Nov-2011)

My sweetie has been gone all week building houses in Haiti. I decided to use 3WW to write a poem. I chose the pleiades form to add to that collection.

drank of the wellspring of
delicious love I have
decided to hitch my
desires to one whom
dances on pin heads with
deafening life she will
dig to muster my soul
