Stolen Year #smallpoems #poetry #writingcommunity

Sometimes reality seeps Into peripheral vision A Sense of mission when Wishing brings no Answers. Just unasked Questions seeking Anchors Impossible realities, barnacles Growing on rusted prints Dripping in stolen yesteryear

#Poetry: A Poem in Five Parts #smallpoems #writingcommunity

unleash holes in broken nows who claw through glass eyes in hopes of refactoring a better tomorrow Let desire drive destiny Set fire and knives to Those Flee A reality Me rooted In thee I write No choice. words bleed into screeds seeking silence in a broken soul pen picking up pieces and wrapping poems in pixels Poetry allows my scar tissue to breath Whisper

Celestially Sent #smallpoems #writingcommunity #poetry

A specter seeing the unseen apparition animated in angst. A poltergeist pouncing on possibilities in the revenant of revelry turns incorporeal innocence from night to day light to dark as the clock continues to click in those moments we must seek to wonder About another celestially sent Sensed in all that surrounds never abound, but bonded by love and wonder

Imagine pinning Congressional Medal of Honor on a cartoon? immigration and Ellis island celebrate

celebrate diversity? a #poetryport poem

Celebrate diversity is what we do in white schools. eating spicy foods (keep it mild don't go too wild), maybe read a book with a Black boy on the cover Diversity in schools of color is racism A reality not a goal fixed by serving taco bowls But a dance of resilience and brilliance, beautiful children who succeed in spite of not because of society

Confidence of Winter's Kiss a #PoetryPort Poem

I have no confidence in the kiss of winter's bliss Hilltops amiss milky blankets never fallen missing soft touches that linger on finger and tongue No slick valleys, sleds up and down Pressure drops in lakes of thought Hiding great winds of doubt from my reality as tears fall to fill the rivers and flow to shores of my soul
