she rises
smoke from the ashes

greeting the dawn
through covered veils

eyes that seek
the tomorrows
behind yesterdays news

smile?

You inspire.

She rises
heads for the coffee pot

shielding the noonday
with a squint
and one crooked arm

she wishes it
was different
behind yesterday's news...

(and this is why I don't do these things)

I am always a syllable, too much,

and always

out of place.

NO WAY! LOL, guess I've never read any of your oversyllabification musings.
Having some java right now, wondering how you can even manage to RISE right now.  HUGS
and I've had to edit this three times already, LOL, working graveyard three nights in a row and trying to toothpick my way through the day.

so much said, so powerfully, with so few words Kacy.  This one is tight, and perfect.

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

The Earth
cooled

sent me
a child
of Nature

taught me to breathe
use my skills, inherent

to wade through
insanity

life

this plane
I don't belong

yet sense
so many

that share my soul.

Thanks Kacy . . .

This...

is what
brings our

poets

home

Now,

and for the
many sunrises

to come...

just to watch
the sun set

on

compassion...

Why
is it
I

who
can not
brew

muse
coffee
whose

taste
would soon
haste

plain
words of
pain

to
regale
you?

Love your work.  Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
