Black as night, wings span as the crow takes flight from life's symbol of an end
Cold; hard and lifeless like the remains beneath, the stone stands to make amends
Words on each grey face stare back as footsteps thump like the beatings of broken hearts that once passed
Reaching beyond the eerie walls; l…

Poetry Month Prompt: #4/30 CHILDHOOD by Jen Pezzo
Children playing four square at recess,Hanging from the jungle gym, jumping from swings.
Poetry Month Prompt #4/30: SURREAL by Mistress Rosie
Streaming visions in my mind
Unearth the boundaries of perception
Reality is challenged once again
Roses perfume my mind’s eye
Esoteric clouds envelope the room
Advancing me perpetual serenity
Laughter overwhelms my soul
Want to join the fun?

Moonlit Drive by Mistress Rosie
Driving in The Dark
Voices Swirling
From Days
Long Gone By
I race along the beach
Trying to catch
The Lover's Moon
Faster and Faster
I push the pedal to the metal
Fragrant Sea Mist embraces
The flora and fauna in bloom
I hear your laugh from
A far off distant place
I laugh out loud
Though I mean to c…

Ink of Life by Deborah Dunn
This untimely life,
Only advantageous to ones self.
You show your needs,
Your desires,
Your wants..
Yet the chapters go untitled,
Like the book you do not read.
But gentle words,
Sooth the ink of your thoughts,
Only to be written encrypted,
For only the certain few to read.
You show and tell…

Attitudes by Deborah Dunn
Body enticed by pure illusion,
A Child cries, its toy is gone.
A flowers petals die and drop,
Another death will soon be born.
The complex masses merge together,
Atomic breakdown to not be stopped.
Formlessness beckons me nearer to it,
Another attitude is now copped.
Our souls diminish in instant d…

Blind by Deborah Dunn
Something wrong has happened here,
But I'll refuse to see.
It's not that I don't understand,
It makes much sense to me.
But why should I go out my way,
When someone else needs help?
When everytime I needed it,
They knew NOT how I felt.
So no more will we dare to give,
Another helping hand.
Lest…

Waiting by Deborah Dunn
Pain dominates a life
A stumbling fall from grace.
Tears build and fall
Leaving trails on a face.
A stumbling fall from grace.
Tears build and fall
Leaving trails on a face.
A soul ripped to shreds
left in tatters on the ground.
left in tatters on the ground.
Twisting and turning in sleep,
dreaming of better days.
Waking in fear once again,
hoping to see better ways.
dreaming of better days.
Waking in fear once again,
hoping to see better ways.
To know what is wanted
not knowing how to gain.

Mid July Night by Eva Xanthopoulos
I was a mid-July night
Snowing during the cloudless evening
The fog, an illusion, my curtain
To hide the naked I feared to expose
Snowing during the cloudless evening
The fog, an illusion, my curtain
To hide the naked I feared to expose
I was hungry for the unknown I had to know about
So I asked Polaris to feed me the sky
I promised I'd stop snowing and rain infinite
amounts of blinding sunshine. I used to fre…

Cocoon by Eva Xanthopoulos
Cocoon your grief with a piece of coral reef
To distract yourself with sounds of the sea
Stop blowing your angered winds my way
I'm not your sun and I'm not its rays
You rain, contain pain in inflated gray clouds
You expect a rainbow to pierce through you
when I can't even keep my own skies sane
Blame me a…
No Parole by Eva Xanthopoulos
A dolphin caught in thick fishing lines.
An ocean lacking a tide. A boat lacking
sails. A seagull lacking wings, a
feathered tail. No sense of direction.
An innocent prisoner.
50 Years. No chance of parole.
He's the dolphin, the ocean,
the boat, the flightless seagull.
Nowhere left to go. Running in place.

The Sea Beckons by Chantal Boudreau
Somewhere there is a cruel god laughing,
The rain pouring down
Drowning his sorrows
Bringing a smile to his face.
Somewhere there is a cruel god laughing,
I stare out the window
At the bellowing storm
My watery doom I’ll embrace.
Somewhere I hear the angels crying,
Watching my pain
And hearing my prayers
