to stand as poet
or to fall on
the sword of call
one must decipher
the script on blade
”translator”
the words are reflective
what say you
what do you
the poet poets
a parrot of ways
this story, this
sword, drawn
from the sheath

the power went out,
you gathered candles.
I slept in the backdrop
of your photo of candles.
in the photo, as life now,
only candles. yes,
only flickers against
the dark. I sleep here.

Australia fires

) which made me realise I should probably let you all know that I am okay. Where I live in Australia is not being impacted by the fires and so I am not in danger. However, some members of my family have been in danger due to these fires. They are okay, but it does worry me since I have multiple family members living in different areas where the fires are near.Join the community to add your comment. Already a deviant? Log In

(a title disclaimer, I am not one for team sports, but it seems appropriate for this entry)
So we poets play verse tag sometimes, mostly (but not limited to, renga (haiku responses)).

cyclesdeath is a process
to process
it was never
about always staying
I am in mud
sprouting shoots
reaching sunlight
and falling through
and as always
I always do it all again
pressed realityI tried to press these flowers
into pages of poems
but pages will rot away
and the blooms
will still bloom
as and when blooms may
sunny daya warm sunny day
mid-fall remembers summer
but it cannot stay
