egg

egg on your face
no one can afford
a clucking hen
a cockeral at dawn
a warning in fire
no more dollar store.

The Whisper of the Muse

Marshal Gebbie

The Whisper of the Muse

They touch
With a featherlight, brush of the fingertips.
Their prompt is a mere insinuation....
And their influence offered
As the slightest whisp of a wafting breeze.
But the impact made
Can be utterly monumental
And a driving impetus
To the receptive, creative soul
On a mission!

Inspired by the melodic artwork encased
in Agnes de Lod's short verse "Muses"

Unpolished Ink

Old Librarians

There are tulips in the gutter
perfect blooms,
destined for dinner with a friend,
they were meant for the table
but alas she was unable to attend

Sweet Tea

Things that I want
or things that I need

you weren't there
I called

but you were
gone

An abstract word painting.

Isla

not a poet

i am not a poet,

nor am i a poem.

i am not a writer,

nor a book.

i am not a painter,

nor a painting.

i am not a sculptor,

nor a sculpture,

i am not the artist,

nor the muse.

i am an idea,

that exists

only

in your imagination

I wrote this on a total whim, I quite like it.
