negative thoughts.
This team is a winner.
World Series, we are on our way.
Go Sox!

(I know it's a tough one, but I had to do it.)

CDSinex · Nov 1, 2018

Go Sox?
Everyone shrugged. :Shrug:

The thread waited for days:
The intrepid poet strings six-
teen words.

B.D. Eyeslie · Nov 3, 2018

Teen words
once were my bag,
secret language of youth,
emotion-filled yakety-yak.
Now mute.

CDSinex · Nov 8, 2018

Molly’s Falls Pond is shared by Marshfield and Cabot, Vermont.

Now mute,
Molly’s Falls Pond
sits empty. All that could,
has fled the slowly encroaching
winter

B.D. Eyeslie · Nov 19, 2018

Winter
stills the forest,
calms rambunctious pines,
glosses over the mirror brook,
brings peace to the souls of those who
threaten.

ChloeRose · Jan 3, 2019

Threaten
twilight dreaming;
enslaved unconscious grief.
Silent pleas, release reliving,
unheard.

Perscribo · Jan 3, 2019

Unheard,
my cries tumble
down the well of regret.
No sense flipping my last quarter.
Rewrite.

ChloeRose · Jan 4, 2019

Rewrite
the story when
quiet sorrow whispers
soft words of reproach since fiction
is truth.

B.D. Eyeslie · Jan 5, 2019

Is truth
lighter than air,
taunting my fingertips,
or a weighty chain dragging me
under?

ChloeRose · Jan 6, 2019

In love,
daytime darkness
interrupted by blinds
forced open with narrow slats of
sunlight.

ChloeRose · Jan 7, 2019

Sunlight
as Eagles soar.
Foles leads Bears over cliff
landing with a 'thunk' in midair.
Go Team.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

ChloeRose · Jan 14, 2019

Go Team..
..until next year.
Etana rose towards the
sun as you did not blink your eyes.
Thank you.

Perscribo · Jan 21, 2019

thank you
cerulean blue
cumulus powder puff
stripped eucalyptus dripping wet
nature

ChloeRose · Jan 27, 2019

Nature
under pretense.
Icy pools of frozen river
mirror fractured
asphalt.

CDSinex · Jan 29, 2019

Asphalt,
is freshly lain
on an old dirt road. The
encroaching city’s attacking
my hill.

ChloeRose · Feb 3, 2019

My hill,
such and nothing.
Stars crumble underfoot
infinitely; take the long view.
Look up.

shadowsminder · Feb 4, 2019

Look up,
Crystal Children;
grow stronger than wind-twisted trees
focused in pain,
inward.

Look up
friends in a tat-
tered phone book. A closet
find at my mother’s house reveals
the past.

ChloeRose · Feb 5, 2019

The past
formatted in
Jpeg scrolls by for you
while I am stood waiting in the
hallway.

Samsonet · Feb 9, 2019

Hallway:
marble tiles,
shadows in the corners.
Strangers, whispering a secret
to us.

ChloeRose · Feb 25, 2019

To us
progress is not
ripping trees from the earth
to pave the way for McMansions.
It's death.

Sorry to be a downer....there's just a lot of new construction in the area which is sad.

Samsonet · Mar 1, 2019

It’s death
in her soft purrs,
it’s her black fur hiding
the mysteries of Halloween:
my cat!

CDSinex · Mar 3, 2019

(I'm a dog guy. :Shrug:

)

“My cat!”
perish the thought.
My ex-wife’s cat, maybe.
My children still have cats, but me?
Never!

brokenfingers · Mar 3, 2019

Never.
A simple word
uttered in defiance.
A verbal line drawn in the sand.
Then crossed.
