The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  On you own blog, you may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  Then link your post to Helene’s original post. (Can be found at the bottom of my poem by clicking on What do you See?)


The delicate pieces of nature
Completing the puzzle of life
Bits torn to create anew
From bland to exquisite
An indistinct worm
Sleeps, awakens
Grace in flight
Flutters
Free

Broken pieces, like splinters, are the shards we bear

We carry them around, within us, as if we didn’t care

Ah, but we do, although completely onerous, at times

These are the things about us that make us so sublime

This week, Colleen has given us free reign! It’s Poet’s Choice! We can choose any words we want.   Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!  I used Adhere and Pieces.   🙂


Shiver…

With the cold air

Raindrops cling to the trees

In small fragments of winter’s tears

And freeze

She let her memories escape, yesterday’s dreams

Broken pieces of her life, scattered, tattered

Pressed between the pages, sheltered only

By the pale ivory lace, of a faded parasol

This, her only regret, leaving this treasure

Far behind, knowing, it was the last connection

To a life, she no longer cherished, wilted petals

Pressed between pages, the broken pieces of her life

I find them in the most unusual places
Little pieces of me I must have left behind
I wonder why they stopped where they did
How they settled in the forgotten cracks
Was it on purpose, or was it I no longer cared?

Not wanting to be remembered for what was
Rather, what is, and what lies ahead
A glance in the mirror shows a different face
I battle the days when age is not a number
But a feeling, of weary bones, and creaky joints
That one cannot forget about, for another day
As I amble down the hallways, through time
A cobweb, seemingly misplaced inside
Makes me wonder if the spider, too
Has left behind her pieces, in forgotten webs
While she moves on, to find what lies ahead
And as I sweep away the…
