Post It Note Poetry #10 – Untitled

PINP 10

Untitled

When my fears

become a turning point

for courage

and my doubts

make me believe

I will know what

it is to stand upon

feet of clay

against the

turning tide

Post It Note Poetry #9 – Scavenging

PINP 9

Scavenging

She throws crusts

to the seagulls

gathers them close

sends the birds scattering

as she runs

kites on invisible strings

the birds return

as though reeled in

to scavenge on what

she feeds them

before she shoos

the birds to the wind

again

     and again

Post It Note Poetry #8 – Modern Art of Convenience

PINP 8

Modern Art of Convenience

The gallery’s lights

focus his attention;

precise, sharp, clear.

He glances left and right at

the great expanse of art

and views with a critical eye,

studied poise and the artist’s frames.

A tinny voice grates through

the loudspeaker,

“Can I have a price check

from fruit and veg

to register four?”

Post It Note Poetry #7 – Verisimilitude

PINP 7

Verisimilitude

Fear has a

funny way 

of telling you

you’re wrong.

Which means

you’re probably

right.

Post It Note Poetry #6 – Whispers

PINP 6

Whispers

the rain whispers

like a lover

delicately caressing

a saturating moistness

of satiated excess

soaking through

the skin

Post It Note Poetry #4 – The Public Eye

PINP 4

The Public Eye

The spotlight is an all-seeing eye

Unlidded, unrelenting, unforgiving

Pointing out your faults

For public discussion

The spotlight is me

Post It Note Poetry #3 – Towards Home

PINP 3

Towards Home

He rounds the bases

Four stepping stones

Four points of the compass

Four corners of the world

Four seasons in one day

Four aces (and a joker)

And the final step

Towards home

Speaking for Wounds – Micropoetry

Hidden wounds

Seek healing in silence

For anointed oil

Precious balm

Wholeness is found in the voice

Who speaks and asks

Playground Atrophy – Micropoetry

She swings back and forth
sky ground sky ground sky
Tempted to jump like her brothers
Momentum atrophies because
Choice remains

Post It Note Philosophy #13

Creativity begins as a conversation the artist has within himself. He asks the hard questions of himself in order to create. When he has created he is able to share it with the audience and promote, precipitate or provoke a conversation.
