I wanted to share this photo that Kerry posted in our Imaginary Garden-gorgeous isn't it!
So I wrote two poems this morning-they came kinda fast. It always surprises me when they do. I hope you had a magical weekend. Tomorrow, I will share some spooktacular ideas. I hope my poems tingle your senses-just a bit, I mean bite, no bit.
Did you watch the new series Dracula? What did you think?
Dinner Guest
Molting red feathers tease air
beneath sweep of blue
shake day with clinking ice
two shadows emerge
mouth tightens
eyes cloud
skin prickles
sharp silver edged tongue
cuts, smiles, scrapes
heart cracked
sunshine yellow oozes
again exposed...
carefully glue webbed
cracked shell until
Jekyll cooks again
and
Hyde shows up for
dinner.

Hope Haunts
Morning born
wrapped in blue n' white blanket
mother will paint new sky
through dust motes n' glitter
drops of red startle me
whites spirits spiral
tiny bites sting between day and death
I smell burnt snow
shivering, I push through the air
bones of my head n' hands hurt
glass walls
can't be erased
like buzzing bees attacking
residual burnt sugar drowns me
bared teeth startle
harsh claws scrap my wings
clipping me....screaming
you have control....

Blind Ballet
Fragile heart flickers
powdery whiteness her gown now
glorious blue wings extracted
by blinding sun's light
graceful dancer once performed for the Queen
injured n' dis-eased
panic
flutters as
icy bones frantically
crave warm embrace
exposed blush silk lining
ignites disillusioned
dance
Sleeping beauty misses her former
lover
settles on bad boy
instead.

Glad you're feeling better.
And haven't watched the series. Too many shows...
hope you are on the up side of the chiggers. heh, that's kinda funny to say. not so funny to experience, i am sure. xo
"exposed blush silk lining
ignites disillusioned
dance" don't know what this means, but I love it!
Thanks for your comment on Alex's blog about my cover reveal. I appreciated it! :-)
Downloaded DRACULA and will watch it later this week :)
I'm definitely interested in watching Dracula, but it's not showing in my country yet. :-/
I like to tell people that I grow fangs when there is a full moon.
I "BITE" too!
..
Glad you know and can deal with it better!
Awesome Halloween poetry. I watched Dracula, but wasn't impressed. I do hope it gets better. So much to introduce I guess, but would have loved a new take on it.
Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween!
