PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As the sun poured into

her niches and naves

and

her coves and her caves

Mother Earth cried

"You violate me!"



But weeks went by

and she spied

April's apricot apron

and apple blooms

and then she exclaimed

"You violet me!"



(to Nita Nickol)



VOLCANO'S REVISED

EXPECTATIONS



The volcano

after an eruption

cannot expect

the grass to

be green right away

..

forgiving

at times

takes time

THE BUD IS NOT FULLBLOWN



It is not his fault

he cannot understand

French..

cannot hear

the radio's frequency..

cannot reach high notes

with his voice

Cannot feel the

  voiceless plants

Why be angry that

the bud is not full blown?



DISSOLVING BLACK HOLES



By miracle they forgave

each other and gone

was the tangible black hole

.. which others felt

in their presence when

they were not speaking

to each other
