Frosty Mornings
Sun shiny golden
Days brightness turning to snow
Storms havoc creates.
February flies
Into Marches windy wishes
For Springs returning.
For now nature brims
Baleful ice frosted mornings
Magic by arctic.

Gloomy Night
As she wandered alone
Nobody came along
Her heart skittered so high
Eyes worried in the gloom
The only light a lamp
At the end of a road
Someday he will find
The little brown mutt
With sad blue eyed frown
And recall her name
More than his best friend
For now she looks
Lost and lonely
A little thin
Slightly dirty
Can’t find bones
A soft bed
Masters hand
Upon
Her head
Warm.

For now she looks
Lost and lonely

Slightly dirty

FICTIONAL PROSE

Her Magic Dragon
It had a special golden glow by the way the shadows made no effect on this egg. The elf queen had never seen such a large nest before. Dragons were rare and rarely had nests out in the grassy open plains like this.
Tia had no idea what creature was inside this giant scaly egg. It was sparkly and had a slight pale blue mist around it. She could feel the magnetic field pulsing and drawing her to it as she touched the surface.
She waited, since upon seeing it noticed that it had a large crack as if about to split open anytime.
What seemed an eternity suddenly...

Morning Senses
This sunrise
Is the best
Morning sighs,
The senses
Come alive
For the life,
A scent wafts
Of coffee
Steamed dreams,
Squirrels romp,
Leap and lunge
Airs above,
Honey taste
Melts in heat
Stirred slowly,
Embracing
Sensory
Discovers.

Shadows of Love
An apparition
Arose when she awakened
With the condition
Congealed between lips slaked
Simply by connecting once.
There’s a light mirage
Wavering from her viewpoint
Hidden in gardens
Shimmering by night or day
Where two stood as silhouettes.
Arose when she awakened
With the condition
Congealed between lips slaked
Simply by connecting once.
There’s a light mirage
Wavering from her viewpoint

A Secret Word
when the world is quiet it gives back if you know the magic word
The word is whispers
On the breeze while first snows
Sprinkle once green grass,
Now the earth is white,
Leaves are like angel flakes
Adorned in ice robes,
The wind bares the word
Of the ice giant Jotun,
Speaking "wolf" to moon,
When the wolf howls
He causes access to stars,
Twinkling your wishes.
The word is whispers
On the breeze while first snows
Sprinkle once green grass,
Now the earth is white,
Leaves are like angel flakes
Adorned in ice robes,
The wind bares the word
Of the ice giant Jotun,
Speaking "wolf" to moon,
When the wolf howls
He causes access to stars,
Twinkling your wishes.

Winged Things
Fair dragon lace-winged things
Alight upon lillied springs,
Infared be their visions
Redolent, balmy as nights passions;
Yellowing eyes crystalline glowing
Lifted to indigo skies, returning
Amidst clouds hovering round the moon,
Nescient of other-kinds commune
Dwellings, whereby wakened, not stirring.
Alight upon lillied springs,

Redolent, balmy as nights passions;
Yellowing eyes crystalline glowing
Lifted to indigo skies, returning

Tea Reflections
Grandmas kitchen was quaint
Quiet, quintissential
Simplicity of times
Taken with quality
Over excessively
Bit and brack-full cupboards.
Cozy winter nights
Were overheated
Till claustrophobic
With indoor temps high
In the mid 80s.
Then memories
Return to nows
Neither bitter
Nor sugary.
Falls forests
Are colored
Brighter hues,
Deep blued
Calm clear
Sky.

Violet Taste
Violet tasts like the flower
Or like blueberry muffins
On a chilly Fall day.
Violet is the sweetest nectar
Or the gooiest fruit pie
Smoothed by whip cream .
Violet tastes like heavens
Red apples and elderberries
Combined, making your mouth water.
Purple is violets plum cousin
Sweet and tart at the same time
Love, when you’ve lost it.

The Hues of Woo
Colorful are the days
When you're falling in love,
You realize beauty
Exists in every
Pore and hair follicle,
Brown, red, blonde or graying.
Rainbows without end
Bless golden sun rays,
Illuminate each
Mornings jade and gold
Arisen in eyes.
Holding hands pinks
Your splendid smooth cheeks
In yon garden
Where roses bloom.
Comets blaze
Inside eyes
Trailing stars
Glitter,
Moonlit
Hearts.

Colorful ~ Senyru
Even the bluest
Blue isn't deep enough to
Describe this feeling,
Feeling out of times
Times of hopeful burgundies
Scarlet love affairs,
Affairs sienna
Aftermath of crimson flames
Leaving embers burnt
Down to umber grounds
Deepening loves eternal
Braziers yellow glow.
Go slow into mauve
Pinks productive songs,
Sing violet tunes.
Indigo those eyes
Transmuted by night sky hues
Sparkling with knowing.
Blue isn't deep enough to
Describe this feeling,

Scarlet love affairs,

Braziers yellow glow.
Go slow into mauve

Sing violet tunes.
Indigo those eyes

Naturally So
Like a sunfish swimming shimmering seas
She’s the queen of blue coral strewn seas,
Singing atop these watery rocks with glee.
Large waves crash on her tail, so she does cry
Out, while seagulls quail high in clouds, they too cry,
Such a scene brings no ease as cormorants fly.
In spite of stormy days she climbs again
As these stony cays she finds once again,
The same on seafront or lakes to contend.
She’s the queen of blue coral strewn seas,
Singing atop these watery rocks with glee.
Large waves crash on her tail, so she does cry
Out, while seagulls quail high in clouds, they too cry,
Such a scene brings no ease as cormorants fly.
In spite of stormy days she climbs again
As these stony cays she finds once again,
The same on seafront or lakes to contend.
