What are we doing?
Acting like lovers in Spring
When we're just kind friends

What are we doing?
Acting like lovers in Spring
When we're just kind friends
~Jay
Sharp scent of "Good Morning" deodrant
Empty growling stomach and
Shivering hands
Right pocket has ruler and 2 pens
Left pocket has bike key in its chain
Back pocket is empty like my brain
I hope I don't faint
When I see the questions.

A hard rain that’ll wash
away my thoughts
That‘ll wash away my past
That’ll knock on my door
And break all the windows.

Linked to dverse: Open Link Night
As I walk out
The twin girls in my neighborhood
Give me double smiles
They're getting ready for school
Golden dawn
Streets deserted
A light spring rain
Feels refreshing
On the sidewalk
I see a woman
With beautiful eyes
Blue like the sea
I cross a lingerie shop
And a parlor--Lemon Beauty Care
Both closed
This early in the morning
I'm halfway through my walk
The fading moon gives silver smiles
The sun's orange progress is good today
Winter is gone with its ice follies
Plants and trees are giving out love calls
Butterflies are dancing from flower to flower.

Written for dverse where Merril is hosting Tuesday Poetics.
Merril says, “Below you will find some names of daffodil varieties. Choose at least 3 words/phrases to use in your poem, but you may choose more. If the name is more than one word, you must use both words. There is no required form or length. Your poem does NOT have to be about daffodils or spring, and there is no restriction on form, style, or subject. I’m eager to see what poems spring from these words!”

Wind blows clouds away
As I sit on the terrace
Spring sun shines on me.

Why was I not born mysterious?
Pablo Neruda’s ‘Book of Questions’
The universe with all her secrets
Cloaked in cosmic darkness, her secrets.
She's full of mystery and magic
On the other hand, I have no secrets.
She talks to me in seasons
Spring lays bare her exciting secrets.
The yellow flower speaks to me
I listen to her tales at sunset, secrets.
She is the dark core of beauty
Between a poet and his poems, secrets.

I keep thinking of when I was younger
I had it too easy
With no wiseness in ways, I was oblivious.
I played and played and played
If it wasn't outside with friends
Then it was inside with computer.
I had big dreams
But not the hard work to make them true
All dreams are now dead.
