Laurence's SpringThe night  
rendered open its belly,  pouring all it had  
upon the streets below,  a vertical tidal wave   
gnashing its grief,  
bellowing in dismay,  it watched helpless,  blinded by the flash  of headlights bouncing  
 
off the wet asphalt,  flipping and spinning,  
illuminating the bridge  and warped droplets    in the turbulent air... ... ...   
an agonizing silence  
before contact... ... ...   
we'll wake up in the morning  
and realize  
it was all a dream, won't we?  the distant wail of sirens... ... ... Laurence's Spring

Songsong of earth  flows in my veins  tributaries   
grounded within  
her womb, reborn  
each sunrise   
song of daybreak  a crescendo,  
mating with the sun   
nerves aflame,  solar arc  travels down my spine   
song of sky-  currents of birds  on up-drafted clouds   
shadows float  caressing my body's  landscape   
song of midnight,  a deep thrum of  sensual umber   
bathes the eyes,  becoming the  
color of my hair   
song of my smile-  tender entreaty  for my lover  &nb Song

Eclipsemoon guides me  
on its voyage,  night wind  goes deep,  insinuating bones   
fingers as white,  tonguing  the marrow of me-  I can't shiver the  
chill from my soul   
as intense as  everything I feel  while there's life,  who could  
sustain it   
a sadness  adrift,  where it takes me  I don't know,  I don't wonder   
too numb  to feel the course  moon steers-  eyes soft focus,  total eclipse Eclipse

Unanticipated, as I showered  today, I watched long black strands of your hair  coil like water snakes toward the drain,  whipping their muscular way  toward the sewer, slipping through  the surge, singing silent songs of entropy  as they left me to cry  over the scent of your shampoo and the pitted  razor blades that did not leave with you  when death came to take you from our house –  and, before the kitchen felt  my feet and fingers searching for  routine, before the bed unmade me  more than yesterday, I again &nbs Un.an.tic.i.pat.ed

April Is Over, But Not Tanka Awareness

Journal Entry: Thu May 1, 2008, 2:16 AM
Through the month of April (National Poetry Writing Month aka NaPoWriMo), I participated in attempting to uplift awareness for the ancient Japanese style of Tanka in collaboration with
:iconlaurence55:, a fine modern Tanka artist in the dA Lit community. His April journals are newbie-friendly for information on the principles on understanding and writing Tanka. Please check out "Interview with a haijin" in News to read Laurence's interview with :iconlovetodeviate:
The experience of doing a tanka-a-day was a wonderful journey, and it is I who hopes to do justice to Tanka as I continue to learn and grow as a haijin.

Meantime, I'm taking a break from marathons after having put in two full months (3/1 to 5/1), but will be back in full flow for the HaikuWriMo in July! Until then, I'll continue to write poetry of all styles as the inspiration strikes.

a proud member of :iconwriters-workshop: & :iconpoetryplease:

My Poetry, Published in "Offerings":
I'm pleased & grateful to announce that a generous harvest of 36 of my poems in "Offerings" is available. I hope you'll embrace it as part of your reading enjoyment.

Thank you, for the welcome. Of course ill be stopping by to read some of your writings. The poems and art work were what attracted me to this site in the first place. You don't have to day anything for me either just thought I would say hello. Priest is just helping me out a little I do believe cause I am new to the site. I would assume he thought I would like your writing so that might of been why he told me to say whats up.

Greetings, Travis and thanks for visiting. :)

Priest told you about me, did he? Well it's a pleasure to meet you -- what can i do for you? For one thing, i hope you'll come by often to enjoy some of my writing.

And welcome to dA, btw! :handshake:

I laugh in the face of Death! ... Maybe not laugh...more like a quiet snicker. And I wouldn't do it directly in Death's face, so it's more like a quiet snicker behind Death's back.
