Short Poems

[feveredpoet]

Ponds

i wonder when fish
wake in the morning
and stretch their fins,
when does the day provide
a chance for adventure?


The Carp

I found a carp, sunbathing in the shallows.
His golden scales looked warm and shined like embers
That seemed to be smoldering underwater...

I thought a star had fallen from the sky,
And landed in the pond, and molten still.


I Settle

like the water of a river,
i settle in the places meant to be


Cherry-Blossom Sun

she hides in the woods,
he peeks through leaves and limbs,
cherry-blossom sun


Impressions

open
the horizon,
impressions felt
between earth and sky


The Passing Clouds

the clouds passed by,
the wind carried them softly
and rounded them out


I Listen

i listen to the peace,
each breath is here


Laughing

laughter is fun,
breaths and hearts at play
like lambs or fawns
light in the hoofs


You Words Are Love

Your words are love
and open the way
to fall in your arms


half asleep

slow morning,
half asleep seems easy,
and i refuse to
read the news,
because
i'd rather be
half asleep
forever
