Micropoems

These are poems that are short enough to Tweet the whole thing

************************************************************

Run Away

 

Take me to the Greenwood

Let me run away

The more I see the evening news

The less I want to stay

************************************************************

Solitude

 

now that i found myself

everyone else has gone

 

**************************************************************

Hearts 

 

after rain, flowers come

grain grows golden

the sun alone brings deserts

so it is with hearts

 

*************************************************************

 

Slow

 

trying to see the minute hand turn

waiting for the cuckoo to call

i fell asleep

in a slow breathing ball

 

*************************************************************

Love 

 

love is not always
as fragile as it seems
if it’s founded on truth
and nestled in dreams

 

*************************************************************

 

smoke

 

the dusty dolls of the gods

stand in a line in the temple,

glaring, their eyes outlines with khol,

shrouded in clouds

overpowering incense
