MADD SUMMER 2020 #39

toward the blue sky
a constellation gathers
withering chrysanthemums
floating in the color
of voluminous stars

MADD REDS 2020 #02

hand-held fireworks…
the beggar child
plucked so many
red-gold chrysanthemums
on a night of fireworks

nightlife
embers escape
from a bonfire
becoming
neon butterflies

Spring rain –
white blossoms
falling on white blossoms
upon her bare breasts
why not?

in new snow
ocean of stars
from the Milky Way
blooming one after another
out of the earth

Response to Carpe Diem #1803 New Beginnings … snowdrops

one by one
these winter snowflakes
drift and float
twinkling like stars
fell far from heaven

mindless drones
in a maddened frenzy
before the End Of Days
gather bits of crumbs
ten minutes before the closing hour

addled shoppers
with apocalyptic vision
gather loaves of bread
a gallon of milk
and strawberry jam

early morning
a flowery tornado
brighter than any star
came then went…
a poem for my eyes

I spy with me wee eyes…

in the still blue sky
white blossoms soar
like shooting stars
for a moment or two
can i still make a wish upon it?

little field mouse
peeks out
breathing in
breathing out…
the snow of yesterday
