Soulfruit

This piece is offered in response to visual prompt Mag 30 at Magpie Tales (see at bottom),
and the August 30th prompt at Big Tent Poetry.

Soulfruit

my mouth on you
soft
like a peach
you glisten
trickle from my lips
I bite you
sweet
like an apple
your hushed breath
staccato crisp
you taste
tart as strawberry
succulent
as love’s nectar

Spellbound

…this piece is in response to the 15th prompt of 2010 on Writer’s Island
and further inspired by prompt #14 at We Write Poems…

Spellbound


poet
you are enigma
darkness and shadow
you veil and shroud
fire and light
you incandesce
torch my essence
burn deep my soul

wonderfully strange

Ardor

scorching as nubian sundance
this blackthorn rose
is the secreted passion
the sultry jungle goddess
inscribed in the book of ardor
fired in molten scarlet
woman forged of earthen bronze
ablaze in the sensual dreams
of writhing midnight
she is smoke [...]

Stream

…I wrote this free verse poem in a single-draft, stream of consciousness, surrealistic spirit, with minimum edits, inspired by the ‘We Write Poetry’ prompt #11 — hence the title.
I then re-imagined it from a steganograhic perspective, and added the flash fiction prologue, so as to also offer it in response to the July [...]

No Longer Imagine

…in response to the 9th prompt on the newly re-opened Writer’s Island, I offer a perspective on love…
…but first a short verse I wrote inspired by prompt #8 at We Write Poems…

see feel hear touch breath live
life is a sensual garden
no longer imagine

No Longer Imagine


I can no longer imagine
the heat of the red rock desert
soothing [...]

Sacred

A hike into the Cascade Mountains, in image and verse.
Author’s note: It was a beautiful day for hiking here in Oregon, so I made a trek into the Mt. Hood wilderness — camera in hand, notebook and pen in my shirt pocket. This is my day, shared with you here, in image and verse. The [...]
