#smear
this morning's sky looked as if a child had painted it clumsy but inspired a vista of colours smudged and seeping into one another a smear of orange fading to become a streak of peach diminished and darkening into the faded blue of the passing night

clumsy but inspired
compatriots, let your voices sing like an unchecked choir let words be the pitfalls your opposition face and in their fall from grace at attempts to smear you hold to each of them those things that endear you for a friend is but a stranger that met you on a good day with a bright disposition and an enemy is simply someone you've not really met yet

Coy dawn
she smears her lips with mama's red crayons. (then she swallows them whole) lips like sour cherries, puckered ,                   swollen . wiping her eyes on soft tissue, blood stains instead.

i am on my knees
I'm choking on words I'll never say Written in pen They smear and fade But when the sun Rises at dawn Maybe then You'll hear my song

Choking On Words
Notes on your window So subtly appear As though they came from thin air No rhyme, but reason A familiar flick of the e's in everything Glimpse of hope A handwriting technique you know well Smeared ink against the fibers Calling out for one last message They seem to procreate every few weeks A simple one Minimalistic hopes of something Nothing more to lose Just a note on your window Signed by a smeared "O"

Notes On Your Window.
Are we junk?  Waste, Shard and smear, Empty symbol made by “Doled out Poet’s papers, Hoarded like sweets?” Our awkward secrets stumble cislunar.

Junket-
Across an ocean of canvas white A stroke of beauty comes to light The patterns even, contrast, and fair Complexity in the mind created with care Do not allow a single smear To blotch the canvas and make unclear What blossoms made with hand and mind What intricacies you will find A root of commons grown within of Artist and Gazer's ken Now engrossed with personal thought Through paintings on canvas, connection is sought.
