PUBLIC POSTINGS

In the chaos that is Facebook and WordPress, publication/posting in general, I, Madasahatter572, would like to take another few minutes to state that any poems posted are my own. Second, any pics and or GIFs posted, those are not mine. I simply search online for imagery to accentuate my poems. I understand of course there are copyright issues and other legal matter that I am naive about. But please trust me when I say that I, Madasahatter572, mean no harm nor disrespect to those who own said pics and or GIFs. I merely wish to give a general visual that accompanies any of my postings. I try daily to follow the guidelines when seeking out items via Google and or Pixel.com. Thank You for your time reader and follower for allowing me this moment of self-expression, clarification.

To All those writers/artists/poets, I wish you much luck in your (ongoing) success. Let us All try and give a little light(ness) in this world of questionable chaos that is Art And Entertainment to others, for others. Let us be respectful to other writers/poets/artists above all else, and when in doubt, at least try and maintain some level of civility among the online communities that support and educate and encourage future artists/writers/poets of tomorrow. There is never a need for plagiarism and or other negative attempts to discredit and or undermine another person while he/she is attempting to showcase their talents and or skills of Writing and other forms of Artistry/Creativity.

Sincerely,
Madasahatter572

RUSTLING LEAVES

Rustling Leaves 

Resolute canary navigates through a matrix of dewy light and green canopy while frantically evading an enthusiastic fleet of voracious crows. Dodging flocks bound from skinny branch to skinny branch avoiding the ensuing chaos. All the while, shifting grey clouds release silver tears.

holding morning dewdrops
tremble then fall down

MACABRE ENDINGS

ready or not 

Her soaked ringlets trailed down her cheeks. She was freezing, except where her heart brushed against his. There was a part of her that was warming towards him although his angry face was just inches away. She was satisfied that he could not detect her slight tremble. Despite the sailor’s bitter temper, she was very eager to kiss him.
