golden eyes glimmer
holding sway, their gaze pierces
penetrating me
Thanks to Susi at I Write Her for her great photo inspiration.

Spinning Chaos
Rising wall of blue
Chaos spins from his still eye
Exodus denied
Thanks to Susi at I Write Her for a great photo challenge.
I live in Florida, so obviously Dorian has been on my mind for the last week. Feel free to interpret this piece as a statement on that bitch! Thankfully, we got off pretty lucky here, but the Bahamas were hit HARD. If you can, think about helping. They will need it. You can find links to some legit efforts at Bahama Relief .
But I also live in Trump’s America, so (for me at least) my words have another layer of meaning. Feel free to reinterpret them or guess my thoughts, if you’d like. That’s the beauty of poetry.
Plus, never forget he’s either just an idiot or a thin-skinned shallow narcissistic purposefully-uninformed idiot. #Dorian #nevergonnahitAlabama #doctoredphoto #nicesharpiejob

Thanks to Susi at I Write Her for the haiku challenge and the great photo by Elena Mikhaylova
When the Moon Beckons
When the moon beckons
Let yourself rise in the light
Uninhibited
Uninhibited
Let yourself rise in the light
When the moon beckons
When the moon beckons
Let yourself rise in the light
Emancipated
Not sure if this is any kind of actual poetic form or just three separate haiku strung together but I like it (them) and it (they) captures my feelings about the lovely photo that Susi provided at I Write Her.
The Pair in the Window
searching the night sky
one pair better than just one
alone together
Inspiration for this haiku challenge comes from this great illustration: “At the Window” – Juliana Kolesova provided by Susi at I Write Her.
