Dawning Images (16)

Predator in fur

Come to lavish affection

Upon the chosen… for now.

Dawning Images (15)

Beneath frozen twigs

Vigorous roots lie in wait

To erupt in verdant rage

Dawning Images (14)

Poking with a stick

The last smoldering remains

Of a great conflagration

Dawning Images (13)

Pouring water out

And despite a pouring spout

I still can’t hit the target

Dawning Images (12)

Green and purple veils

Flowing down from the heavens

Divine plasma evident

Dawning Images (11)

Shloophing through the sands

Each shlooph inducing terror

The Camels are returning

Dawning Images (10)

Standing on the bluff

Fierce winds raging in my face

Pushing me back from the brink

Dawning Images (9)

Crows call raucously

From fence and eave and tree branch.

Welcoming, I fear them not.

Dawning Images (9)

Endless breakers pound

Equally unending strands

Regardless of our witness

Dawning Images (8)

Monolithic cube

Perfect in all dimensions

Ready for the builder’s use

Dawning Images (7)

Consuming darkness

Swallows swaying sunflowers

Thunder rumbles from the east.

Dawning Images (6)

A young man, bandaged,

Weary, ‘neith contorted skies;

His wounds not self-inflicted.

Tangled Webs

A Mondoesque Exquisite Corpse-

…….

Without attention

Daylight hours slowly stretch

Soon enough spring will arrive

~

Ignore all this talk

Of stretching days; coming Spring

Down under summer rains pour.

~

Yet, around a bend,

there stands a temperate forest

Seeming almost season-less

~

Where fern Fiddleheads

Gaily sway as fat raindrops

Fall to quench the dry Earth’s thirst.

~

Careful balances.

Each depends on another.

Changing one affects us all.

This poem is a shared work created by several different people. The first poet wrote the first three lines then sent the last line to the next poet and so forth until all had finished. All elements were submitted to me and I stitched them together into a singular work. Please forgive the imperfect mess of the fit! It is an artifact of obscured creativity! Many thanks to the various contributors! I hope you enjoyed the process!

Ribbons at sunrise

Glowing with internal light

Dance in divine panoply
