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

I stare out the window, into

a blank space, echoes of an

empty mind, no comfort

comes of it, nothing but

a longing, for something

For someone, to comfort

me, hold me, and remind me

everything will be okay, four

simple words, for me, a

complex piece, in which

the puzzle, missing a corner

Can never be

Completed, or

Whole

Incomplete ~ #poetry

puzzle-1444425_960_720

I, an unfinished puzzle

Pieces, taken in stride

Fragments of my life

I’ve pushed to the side

Wondering if ever

I’ll find my whole self

Or be left incomplete

In a box, on the shelf

Complicated

enigma, Night Owl Poetry, perfection, poems, poetry, puzzle, unwritten

Like a dictionary
With too many
Interpretations, always
Searching for the
Perfect word
A lexicon
So many choices
And none the
Right identity
You’re an enigma
Intricate, perplexing
Turning the pages
Of an unwritten book
Reaching for tomorrow
Forgetting yesterday

The Human Grid

crossword, dorindaduclos.com, grid, humanity, Night Owl Poetry, poem, poetry, puzzle, society

Society is like a crossword grid
Each part of a life carefully fitting
Inside its own square
The ups intersecting with the downs
Attempting to invade a space
Meant for something else
Passageways blocked
Indicating an end
Hoping the clues will give meaning
To the numbered journal
Whose evidence cannot be so easily erased
