19 March: Smoothing Edges

Smoothing the Edges The daffodils are in full bloom,the tulips just appeared, and there’s a robin on the fence,its beak filled with twigs. Spring smooths our edges,and joy is in the air. It sings.

17 March: Navigating Blue for FOWC

Navigating Blue This will not stop this roll and pitch brave and blow. The air is a gust of birds scattered like handfuls of flowers. Muzzle your ears. From the roar. The howling blow. Close your eyes and relinquish your skin to navigating blue. Written for Fandango’s One Word Challenge. AI Digital Artwork is created using…

17 March: For Ragtag Daily Prompt
The Goatherd We called her the goatwoman. Kids can be far too literal. Goats, she told me, are clever. And I’m thinking Bill Grogan’s Goat, those red shirts ate off the line, barfed up, and flagged down a train. And as I reminisce on kiddy songs, a goat, just off my line of sight, ate…

15 March: dVerse Places

The Coast That sound from the lighthouse,a primitive one-string cello,bent low and playing to the fog.The waves, whose chorusdissolves back into the sea. I was raised by the sea, lived andbreathed by its sound and scent. Rocked to sleep in a metal dingywith a big black Mercury engine.That engine, diesel fumedand bluing the air —…

15 March: a Ragtag’s Imprecation

Spellbound White feather on her pillow,between her fingersgently grasped. Downy. White. It’s fragile flight.Tucked up betweenpages in a book. It’s an imprecation, to keep herfrom flying away at night. Written for Ragtag Daily Prompt “imprecation”. AI Digital Artwork is created using Midjourney.
