In different rooms
only the TV talking
Snow is falling.

An attempt at haiku for One Stop Poetry Form- A little Tanka A little Haiku on http://onestoppoetry.com/2011/02/one-stop-poetry-form-a-little-tanka-a-little-haiku.html,
This form is challenging. I know what I wanted to portray with this haiku. Did I manage to do it?  Hmmm
 

Abandoned

Sticking cognition

causing delays.

Words in place

unable to return

overlapping

unintelliglble.

Synapses firing

a dried up

ribbon of thought.

Broken case

holding

the dust of stories

fallen off

the brittle page

           abandoned
                    forgotten

                                                      

For One Shoot Sunday on http://onestoppoetry.com/

I am your breathing
brought to life by your inhales
tasting your exhales
sucked deeply through parted lips
my heart inflates with your love.


Thanks to Lady Nyo for the wonderful history and explanation of tanka on One Stop Poetry form. http://onestoppoetry.com/  This is my attempt.

The View

There’s been no change.

Each morning the attendants

lift her out of bed

into the wheelchair,

making sure the ties

that keep her from falling out

are fastened securely.

She hasn’t spoken for weeks.

Has made no sign

she is aware

they are there.

“Good morning, Ruby.

It’s a lovely day today.”

They park her by the window

in case there might be

something left

up there

to notice the view.

But they’re sure there isn’t.

They leave her

inside her crumbling mind

where the view

thru the window

never changes.

What I am

A simple Valentine poem for A Saturday Celebration: St. Valentine's Day on http://onestoppoetry.com/

All the things I’m not

      pale to the one thing I am

               I am loved by you

This is my second attempt at One Shoot Sunday on onestoppoetry.com  http://bit.ly/i85rRk I am surprised at what came out after looking at this fabulous picture prompt provided by photographer Sean McCormick.

House of Blues

House of Blues

my heart

blood red inside

oozing with each puncture made

by leaving words

stabbing holes
in the hurt-eaten framework

that was once

solid love
