SilentiumTranquility in
A motionless lake wherein
Lay silent ripples
*Love of Flowers*Perfumed breezes stir
Like potpourri on the wind
Faint whisper of love.

PrisonerThe prisoners in
cages of sadness. What if
it was us instead?
Wolf RunGrey wolves run tonight
They sing their songs to the moon
The pups get first kill

Flowing silken veil
Blue deeper than midnight sky
Fierce fighting fish flares

Red Jester

Satin red sparks blue
Merry dancing flutter fins
Dart with joyful play

Circle round once more
Perhaps it is different now...
Infinite glass wall

Shining gold shimmer
Twinkles beneath the water
Glinting beyond reach

Haiku/NoteGlistering morning dew
Shining in sticky cobwebs
Dew like little pearls

for the ones who don't know
a haiku is:
line #1: 5 syllables
line #2: 7 syllables
line #3: 5 syllables

and I had to use two devices.

gay circles across the road--
spring's wintry cosplay.
The Moon And The StarsThe Moon and The Stars,
Shine brightly and glow tonight.
The dark night cold, alone.

Haiku/Poem
WastelandImmortal fallout.
Invisible specters stay
to echo silence
The Sun KingLook at the Sun go down,
In the fire lit sky,
Burning. Melting; into night.
Watch the sun die slow, calmly,
The night takes over,
Arising in the daytime.
Breaking in the crack of dawn,
Taking its birthright,
Ruling the day forever.
Autumn CyclesLeaves fall vibrantly
Embracing the earth from sky
Cycles in autumn
HuntressLuminescent eyes
Tiny hunter stalks her prey
Purring victory

Quod Petis Hic EstQuod petis hic est,

weatherboard exterior, knotty pine inside
iron roof could use a fresh lick of paint
but why does the little bit
want to grasp the big,
tread on daisies to gaze at stars

sitting up top, out here with the trees
rooftops clouds we can see for miles,
the whole world, seems like

quod petis hic est
Try to GrokThe TV blazes orange
the London riots
in our living room
I eat sliced Packham pears
with my four-year-old niece

—these pears are good, she says
—yes, I say. These pears are good.
Drown MondaysThe best way I found
to catch my seven-twenty train
is to miss the seven-o-five, be late
and grow a glut of yin
from the corpses of yangs

drown mondays to breathe tuesdays

but I nibbled cake and kept it too;
I caught the seven-o-five
and the hands fell off the clock,
fell off my wristwatch
Red BoatRed boat in the harbour,
commercial trawler amidst the blue
like a gunshot-wound
on a cop's patrol shirt
TonesA frosty slush of mud, clammy
cough syrup with its copper-tang

the rumbling buzz of lawnmowers,
smeared sunscreen, white and greasy

the scent of an ashtray
old ghost of a smoker:

winter is insipid, dreary
summer is a brassy bore

I want the fresh wet buds of spring
nascent beneath my fingertips,

I want crisp breeze and dying leaves,
I want soft flames falling

Critique by *MattVoscinar Oct 6, 2012, 3:33:39 PM
While there are several things I love about this piece, I do have to say that the crisp and concise nature towers over the others. At first I thought this was a haiku but realized I was incorrect in that judgement after reading. This piece lacks filler, it lacks overzealous wording, and it lacks unnecessary images. You've taken what you need, put it down, and poof: made yourself a great poem.

The second thing, is of course, the imagery. The brevity of the piece allows the reader to absorb them (the Chevron silhouettes line is one of the most clever descriptions of birds I've ever seen.) And of course, the final line is well placed and just hits the reader.

I think a lot of people could learn from this poem. You've executed it to near perfection. I can't really think of anything I would change. Wonderful job.
What do you think?

It was almost a golf-ball moon, but seemed too artificial
