I meant to wait till tomorrow, but it’s just too gorgeous. W. H. Auden shows us how to do it;
Erotic poetry by a woman of the 15th century
It ain’t mine, though I wish it were; The Dream
three (3) ten (10) word poems
1) A sonnet tasting of you I add a piquant memory. 2) A child’s indigo shadow is running behind sunlit drying sheets. 3) Prosody enrapturing your delicate mind my sly smile invites wanderlust
East, to the city
the second of my four flashfics came out like this; I stood at my front gate and watched the sun come up in the market street. I watched the housewives and shopkeepers, the balloon-seller and the pickpocket, bustling in the lovely light of a new Summer’s day. I was waiting for the right moment to [...]
Singer not the Song (Ice Age Of The Heart)

One night, my stepdaughter was visiting. Jessica was a sarcastic, defensive, [...]
