The curtains rise
the actor begins
his tragic monologue,
a dramatic delivery of dialogue,
drifting in dark rafters
mirroring the unspoken truths
of the aching audience.

Blue wildflowers
adorn the edges
of a winding creek,
hunting egrets
watch the crimson sunset
sink below the grove,
flickering fireflies
rise from the reeds
to claim the night.

Deep in the forest
the brook babbles
over gray pebbles,
wilson’s warblers trill
amid the sycamore trees,
beauteous bluebells
nod their tiny bells
joining the symphonies
of riparian tranquility.

Haunted walls splintered
putrid blood oozed
drawing carrion beetles,
the banshee’s howls echoed
spooked onyx cat yowled,
he was petrified
menacing jackdaws circled
unveiling the sinister specters
that swallowed the only exit.

An oddball card reader
sat in the town square
with a deck of tarot cards,
when he flipped the white raven
the crowd went silent
noticing an unsual shift in the weather,
a portend in disguise.

Grey clouds and dead leaves
reflect a fractured soul,
memories are the insomniac ghosts haunting the weary mind,
a lonely heart wandering
in a land of gloom,
clueless about how to mend the stinging wounds,
that salt the tears
making them hurt more.

Language of songbirds
free from balderdash
harmony breathes in,
cerulean waves
cradle the radiant moon
humming lullabies to scarred souls,
Zen garden silence
immersed in tranquility
illuminates the weary minds,
healing nature

In surrealistic fields
Salvador Dalí found his muse,
twisted time drips
through melting clocks,
distorted reality
chasing illusions
in dreamscapes,
a masterpiece painting
The Persistence of Memory,
born of abstract art.

Delightfully
dewy dandelions dance,
lovingly
sweethearts sing their wishes,
serenely
satin zephyrs carry them toward spring

#vss365 #poems #poetry

In the rhythmic rain
You and I
manifesting our dreams
into reality,
our souls are entwining
amid fragrant flowers,
a romantic spell
cast by softening love
that stays forever

Blushing blossoms beckon,
luminous wings'
travel north,
spring's arrival brings
the hummingbirds home,
susurrating honeybees
on fragrant blooms
share the nectar
with feathered friends.

The eagle's nest
sits high,
a sole kingdom
above
the rushing rivers
of the mountains.

Future in the stars
a second home on Mars
shaped by quiet empathy
a Martian realm
life among alien kin
the hoped-for fate of humankind

Sweet and floral air
gardens blooming in the sun
colors everywhere.

Cherry blossoms swirl
in the tranquil springtime air
nature’s soft embrace.

#vss365 #haiku #poem

Enchanting moon
Lavender scented zephyrs
Mellifluous songbirds serenade
Caressing the sweethearts
Entwined in love.
