More Poems by Friends

  

           ~  Includes all the poems posted April 21 plus three new ones new ones ~


Kathabela Wilson    3/31/15

fly off
to your outer pranks 
April Fool









   

  

     Kathabela Wilson     3/31/15 


eroding shore she carries the house on her bike



    







     Lois P Jones  4/5/15


Bicyclists are known to fly
by on sacred days
when the wind is Wright










       Kathabela Wilson  4/4/15  


the way she sees it 
torn origami 
along the shore







     Kathabela Wilson 4/5/15 


deep sand no road 
so fly or walk on water—
the sheriff's rescue








   

     Junnie Starshine 4/11/15 


Land Erosion
Nature's reaction
to earth's aliveness
and movement

Land Erosion
Lady Journeyer
yellow shirted adventurer
on wheels adorned in red

Such is the perspective
of one perched
upon a glimmering Star
in the ever optimistic sky





   Junnie Starshine  4/14/15 


THERE IT IS! 

The lone bike ~ speaking through it's photographic image 
of hills and valleys, sands and waters
peoples and projects

... implying through it's lean against the tree
that one of curiosity has trusted it to carry her
where she yearns to be

in contemplation, wonders this one here
if such a vehicle has a 'name'
one of appreciation and dignity


 

     Lee Collins  4/14/15 


Here's sea sand that has shaped the world
Here are out banks that split apart the sea
Here huge waves of surf are wildly hurled
In grinding grainy crashing enmity.
I keep posting blogs but they don't stay
they are suddenly washed away





    

     Lois P Jones 4/15/15


She married a geologist for excitement.
Together they pounded ophiolites for enlightenment.
And since then each year
they drink cabernet and read Kabir
and ponder the surfaces of their environment






     

     Junnie Starshine 4/18/15 

bicycle in the cafe glow
wide observation within
blog does not bug
photos hide the squish
and vanish the sting







     

Kathabela Wilson  4/18/15


mosquito 
swamp monsters...
she wears purple
and houses martins
on her head







     

Briony James 4/19/15


deep in the shadows
the wildwood breathes
and blinks
in greengold light
poured from above









Mira Mataric 4/21/15


So far she came
And no further.
What could have stopped her
if not a friendly smile
of a local man?









Joyce Futa 4/22/15


after the storm
the swamp a brown mirror
knees of the cypress
like so many apostles
emerging from baptism







 

Joyce Futa 4/25/15


birds in flight circle
see where they've been
and the tree
where they will rest

oh, the fiery sunset

  1. Thanks to these poets, all of whom wrote of their own volition, receiving no request from me to do so. I appreciate your insights into my venture and your often intriguing perspectives: Kathabela Wilson, Junnie Starshine, Lee Collins, Lois P Jones, Briony James, Mira Mataric, and Joyce Futa.

  5. Excellent blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?I'm hoping to star
    my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
    Would you advise staring with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a
    paikd option? There are so many optiions out there that I'm completely confused
    .. Any tips? Appreciate it!
