Small Poems

Playing on the Ridgeline #poetryport #smallpoems

I wanted to try something new. So I grabbed a couple phrases fro

Be weary of the warmth in a poet's smile for it sparks many a fire unleashing desire to rain on flames of forgotten folklore strickling streams causing creases of dreams escaping folds of time while the work of a smirk hides a wordsmith's intention #poetryport #clmooc #smallpoems

#smallpoems Splintered pasts gather in concrete futures stolen glances of sun's march As two who never were come to be in glimpses of impossible destiny Interest aligned eyes locked destiny's knot unwound as feet wrestle fallen leaves Just as the dogs run determined to get nowhere at all, their paths can never cross Warmed by the pleasure of shared mystery h
