Image Poems for 2/5/13



Winter Sun

The sun
Hidden behind a cloud.
You can look straight into it, a blank
White eye. 


Music

Words foreign, yet
Beautiful.  Allegretto,
Pesante. Words felt
But not spoken
Are music notes on a page,
Black on White.

Old Sleeping Bag

Rolled, hidden
Beneath the bed like an
Aged memory,
The flowered fabric sleeps.
Pink daisies and
Black-eyed-susans.
It was my mother’s
When she was little. 

Untitled

Amber sweetness fading
To deep brown. Half an inch,
The tea left in my cup.

Laundry

Tumbled warmth, wine,
Teal and white. Towels
In need of folding. 

White-Out

Phantom,
The outline of the music building
Veiled by the gray gauze
Of snowfall.

Plowed Snow

Small hill beside the snow-
Dusted path,
One side touched by sunlight,
The other by ridged shadows.
A snow-bank. 

Harp

Red on black,
On white on gold.
Wood grain, harp strings
Together are harmonies.
