Day 74 – too hot to sleep

too hot to sleep
windows thrown open to the night
a thousand blinking lights

blue glow of the stereo
the music as full and lush
as the night

Day 63 – if my soul were a puppy

If my soul were a puppy,
It would leap up and lick your face.

It’s just that excited for all that you are.

Tail wagging.

Unabashed joy.

To catch a glimpse…
To see the arrival…
of You.

Day 42 – silent

Well, after a very busy and expansive couple of weeks, it’s time to flip. I need to be silent for a while. And thanks to Tony’s post, I’m reminded you can put silence out on a web post too. So here it is in image form:

I’m putting this up as a Sohbet as well, another chance to start a poem with an image. I may add one myself when I feel like talking again. Right now I clearly feel like being quiet and having my toes in the river.

Day 31 – barefoot in the rain

Today’s post – a poem:

 

yesterday I walked
barefoot in the rain

my feet got cold
but still I was happy

amid a stormy life
there is the foot-feel
of wet ground

and rain between my toes


Looking forward to your poetic replies. I’ve missed the sohbet-ing.

Sohbet – Two Teenagers

two teenagers
making out on a soccer field
hands up shirts
oblivious
to thousands of freeway eyes
yep, it’s Spring
