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

Post It Note Poetry #2 – Germination

PINP 2

Germination

In a tie-dyed dress

The colour of sunflowers

She spins anti-clockwise

and blooms.

Dizzy, she drops.

The bloom folds

In hope of reversing

the day.

A Museum of Domesticity’s Austerity – Micropoetry

a single white orchid
in a glass vase
on a glass coffee table
I press my thumb
onto the glass
to humanise austerity

Pulling At Threads – Micropoetry

I want to pull
at this loose thread
but…
I dare not pull it
lest I unravel completely
and reveal the emperor’s
new clothes

In Common Union – Micropoetry

When I share the table
With you and we eat
Together in communion
We cast off our fears
And we find strength
In common union

Adult Scars – Micropoetry

adult scars run deep
prone to reopening
when picked at until
festering scabs form
habits from childhood
where we wish to return

If We Are Common Players – Micropoetry

If we are but common players

To strut and fret our worldly hours

Let’s dance, laugh, eat, cry, speak

To make our hours uncommon

 

I’ve been reading Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” today, and I’ve borrowed from “Macbeth” and it shows in today’s poetry*

 

*best to acknowledge one’s sources

I Would Like To Send You A Memory – Micropoetry

I would like to send you a memory

But I can’t get it quite right

I want this to be perfect

So you’ll never forget

…Never mind

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

We Fear to Dream – Micropoetry

We fear to dream lest

Our dreams reveal our

Fears

Until declaration

Makes our dreams sacred

And our

Love casts out our fears
