purity...

as history toddles through time new editions emerge details fade evaluations shift a process of biased selection history and praiseworthy #purity cannot be exhaled fairly in the same breath truthful history needs to include a muddied version even if it shames and makes no sense #vsss365

drought
bakes
life

but when rains
drop by
they seem to
quench and #purify
the landscape

at first

but if the rains
keep raining
life may turn
muddied
swamped

turning purity
into
impurity#vss365 #poetry

renounce...

I hereby #renounce the 6am alarm by a mere click to the off groove retirement now welcomes my time not their time next day at 5:57am I learnt my body did not sign the resignation forms #vss365 #tanka

in Shakespeare's time
silly did not just mean
silly

innocent
harmless
helpless
pitiful
were likely meanings

so what if #renounce
renounces
the serious
and tests lighter moments

as a watcher
of dolphins
and kookaburras
and butterflies
at play#vss365

nurture...

prized flowers drink in the energy of spring rains and weeds multiply and grass outruns mowers and the gardener feels spring pains the #nurture inherent in nature never discriminates #vss365 #poetry

a famous painter
created
his first sculpture

he felt uncertain
nervous
about making it
public
alongside his paintings

was the risk
of abortion
a shadow
behind the birth of#nurture#vss365

reckon...

Queen Victoria a good or bad reign for 63 years her world meant an empire breeding British progress but the loved queen was also 'Famine Queen' even history argues with history Widow of Windsor Grandmother of Europe so no jury no judge past or present can #reckon a verdict #vss365

masses of data

meteorologists
to predict

grandma's

hunger...

city traffic airport chaos a loud café relentless appointments text message overload working late there are times when we #hunger for less much less #vss365 #micropoetry

a dog
beside
a man

the dog's
melting eyes
watch the man

the man
tries to eat
but feels
the eyes of
the dog

the dog
begs to eat
what the man eats

the man
caves to
the dog's eyes

so a dining soliloquy
is crushed
by seductive
vaudeville#hunger#vss365 #poetry

passion...

some dramatic blooms inherited a sacred story the drama lasts just a little while a symbol from an old story of resurrection some #passion flowers open daily summer to autumn some live for just a day some seasonal passion flowers are the town criers for the return of the passionfruit #vss365

extrovert youth has
vibrant energy
impulsive fire

sport skills
lively city life
romance
ambition
can be magnets

the in crowd's ideal

but introvert youth
has a passion for
embers
where private dreams
keep glowing

to an introvert
the in crowd's
a shifting goal#vss365
