What do you see?
Glancing, looking stare.
Known before knowing?
Depends fostered care.
Uniquely its own.
Uniquely like me.
Discover another.
What do you see?

Spartan rocks of brevity
Seagulls
Upon the winds that screech and squawk
Sky brooding dark or blue as chalk
My mind to nest
The cliffs outcrop
From ground to heights a flight path plots
Beacon
Blinded by the gales
Wallow as you sail
Search for an intensity
A bright, from darks distressed griped fear
Candle power faith any beacon brings
Spartan rocks
Seagulls nest, ships stuck fast
Stands alone a home
Shelter from the swarm and dash
A flag upon a mast
Selflessness is that outcast

Arctic Vortex
Gulf Stream pushed by
Polar cold down into dixieland
ice giants rome empty land and
lie in wait in urban canyons
feasting on the unprotected and
homeless alike
Why
Why stay here
Fear
Why go forward
Fear
Where ever i am
Is everywhere you are not
Internet is
Not a safety net
Smoke Screen ©️
Oil fields a flame
Deprecating the value
Of my sports auto

Tanka #18 ...The Power of Words
One learns a lot writing
a piece of poetry...
this one plays at tanka
well seasoned... with good humor
and just a pinch of rhyme...

Inches Before Zero
"It's always over
before it ends...
The only variable is
the illusion of distance...",
she thought
as she closed the door
behind her...

Disagreement
he called it a fall
as he saw her heading down
she called it a flight

Eye Opener
she opened one eye
and realized half a world
is better than one

Silence. . .
is
Like pottery
in a museum
once broken...
makes
a lot of noise.
