Re: Less is more

Here's my take....

Easy:

Morning rests hesitantly
in fancy coffee mugs
on dark oak dining tables

waking the diligents beside
newsprint and severed forests


Medium:

With head bowed
the boy wept

A bird amongst the
fallen acorns
in silence

WHITETAIL LIFE

Rustling leaves...
A doe lifts head
Subsist by danger
Warned by breeze
Deer snort and run

Comatose

My mind wanders aimlessly,
My head bobbles as a fan whirs...somewhere?
Dreams come in unison, sporadically.
I startle, as a bird flutters by the window,
Six rings of a phone...silence again, only louder.

Down de Ocean

A wave breaks as a seagull rises from the foam,
A sudden breeze suggests a possible storm.
The sun bakes the sand while clouds billow like lost balloons,
A distant ship rests in the palm of my hand,
Quiet is the only thing I hear...

Little black boy

Frozen strawberries
spotted porch
basketball
hankerchief
no love.
gulp

Clandestine


Cloaked in secrecy, codes concealed,
Confidential matters, purposes unrevealed,
Hidden cryptic messages, shrewd shrouded signs,
Forbidden formed relations, classified by design,
Enigmatic situations of the clandestine kind.

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
