2 Nov: dVerse Promises
Promise I look at youth,filled with future and certain-truth.Half-doubting that lifeis passing away.

1 Nov: Poem-a-Day Challenge
Leaving … behind the silence of treesand spiders spinning threadsof silver, and winter frost on grasswith dewdrops that glitter.To feel the cold rabble and trampleof the North’s open window.To feel sudden breathlessness and driftinto deep sleep, intounconsciousness.

31 Oct: The Overlap
