ME
Laughter in gulps, tea in sips,
nature a coverlet, the finest counterpane,
introspection - guardian of silence,
armour of joy, window of smiles,
the adulting mind, the charming apron;
all these, cover a soul, who really is a child,
tender, frightened, tear-stained: me.

Monday WRites 160

[World cup balls 2006 -2018 images from google dot com used to form this mosaic; Fair use]

NEW WAVE
Watching the World Cup matches had been for me a TV screen view in the comfort of my home. This year i'm still viewing in the comfort of my home, BUT, at my computer screen.

Having thrown out my old TV which i had for more than ten years [because it suddenly went blank, never to wake up again]. New age, new wave, new experience. Enjoying the games non-the-less

a goal almost scored -
a hesitant rain shower
sounds on my roof

Caladium in my garden after a few days of rain tease

AH CALADIUMS
Ah Caladiums, a tiny nudge of raindrops,
they cycle in like toddlers.
Happy faces ready for adventure,
ready to show-off new found skills.
Wheee!!! look at me, speckled
to the likes of my fancy.
Happy the rains have finally
decided to cycle in.

Monday WRites 159

[I cropped 3 images from the internet to form today's mosaic]

HEARTBREAKER
Night, shamed into mists of dawn,
Rests a coy head against pillows of drifting cloud.
Silver light lends an allure to winged messengers,
Proclaiming today.
This newness, as stale as yesterday's birdsongs,
Enlivens coolness of daybreak;
Like a heartbreaker, it will not stay,
For torrid are these days though the Season
Of The Rains are upon us.

RIVER RAMBLINGS
smooth stones,
sharp stones,
stones;
down by the river,
aflow,
flow,
thoughts in contemplation;
words,
words in hibernation;
shadows emerge,
to a sprng of,
fresh green,
poetry life;
where verse directs,
the heart song of a lurid,
trickle over a bed,
of river silt;
how deep in into the earth’s layers?
seeps the silt of,
immersed concentration;
listening to hear,
the sounds,
silent in the heart,
of a universe;
always,
saying something,
of,
universal measure.

WISPS TRANSIENT
Lust:
That salty
essence enticing, just
When the vagaries of
Reasoning, asks to be harnessed
Into meaningful harmonies, only to
Be wasted in wisps transient.
