The morning start
From warmth of rest
Smooth awakening
Flavours best
The thing to crave
At dawn delight
Then to wake
In morning light
The scent of day
First beginning
A fresh approach
Full to brimming

Do you tell the time
On this day?

Come into the crowds

Tree Motif
The bark of the tree
Dark imperfections
You can seeHas underneath
Brief history of time
It’s own motif -
Morning Dew
A majesty of fairies
Fashioned crystal glass
At the tips of each
Fine blade of grassAt the darkest decline
Darning gems so bright
Then directing prisms
To the morning lightThey collected their thimbles
And trimmed the thread
But left before dawn
Quietly they fled -
Night Garden
Upon the moonlit grass
My toes do tread
Turf and earth imprinting
On a mossy bedA tired floret stoops
A sleepy head
Resting…sequestered…
Nothing to be saidA chill blows from the east
Then ceases… to ground
Still…serenity
Folds in…to surroundIs this dreaming … revealing?
Looking to the skies
Into night’s darkness
With a canopy of eyesCopyright © 2015 Janice Turner Salmon

Hay(na)ku
Feather
Adrift, afloat
Sway, sway, sway
Day 27 for NaPoWriMo2015 – the prompt – optional, as always — comes to us from Vince Gotera. It’s the hay(na)ku). Created by the poet Eileen Tabios and named by Vince, the hay(na)ku is a variant on the haiku. A hay(na)ku consists of a three-line stanza, where the first line has one word, the second line has two words, and the third line has three words. You can write just one, or chain several together into a longer poem. -
A Clerihew
My Dad, has trophies, for growing flowers
Superhero, with Dahlia powers
Charming the sweet pea to hypnotically weave
Training stem, petal, pollen till perfection achieved
A Clerihew, a four-line biographical poem for NaPoWriMo2015. -
Camellia
Outside my window
And in plain view
Posy petals
Glisten in dewDreaming of days
Dazzling and bright
And envy of Kings
In summer delightPink tulle tutus
Tipping to bow
Flowing confetti

I Know…..
The amount of midges
Mulling on the lawn
Impressive as a bog
Said the eager frogI know the Black Bird
Bustled them all
Beating his wings
Makin a din of thingsI know the Bee fellow
Watched Black Bird flee
Thinking thankfully
Now Peace will beDay 20 of NaPoWriMo 2015
