Tree Motif
The bark of the tree
Dark imperfections
You can see
Has underneath
Brief history of time
It’s own motif
The Gift
The peeled back leaf
Revealing time
Evolving and
Exposing the gift
Haiku – Autumn Leaves
Screen of summer, gone
Unearthing autumn colours
Above and beyond
Writing 201: Poetry, Day One — Screen, Haiku, Alliteration

Change
My many yesterdays
Are not my tomorrow
The tumbled leaf
Doesn’t chase and follow
The winds of yesterday
Have sailed on by
The moving clouds
Roll across the sky
The stain of yesterday
Has washed away
The rain did pass
Leaving less to say

For WPC: Change
Connected
Soul Within
You are the colour
Of my skin
My soul within
You reflect in
My minds eye
As time moves by
A picture in frame
A memory
Bless’d be
Shipwrecked
Black and obtrusive
Causing disdain
Tightening, clouding
Pounding my brain
Tension grasps my spine
Causing such pain
Splinting daggers
Pulse down like rain
Knots are pulled and pulled
Hard at the neck
The grinding sound
Like rocks and a shipwreck
Creepy
