A New Era
Quadrille for dVerse. Other entries can be found here.
Black gossamer strands,
like grasping fingers,
pitch against
the brightest moon glow,
reaching and writhing
effortlessly, beckoning
wild, tepid winds of the night.
Silence bore chaotic sounds,
nature’s heartbeat
quickened as thunderous hooves
brought seven stallions
majestically to the bough of a leafy bend.
Summer’s scorched burnt tip
Pierces autumn’s bronzed winter
Till quenched by cool springHave a go!

screaming wind-tree-asitcomes
Foul words on screaming winds
attach to me vicious lies.
Soft in approach,
loud in defiance –
suckers lavish wounds
already frayed –
betrayal saps my strength.
Let its scorched touch
be enslaved by innocence,
and mercy unknown to me,
drop gentle from heaven.

Phalaborwa, South Africa
Sans human folly
Cohesion of nature’s heart
Diversity melds
On close inspection
Golden poppies bear torn wings
Butterflies in spring

Leave us with footprints
And the pictures you must take
Kill nothing but time
