Awards
easily find
already celebrated
fingers in a fist of acclaim,
sleeping.

B.D. Eyeslie · 10-12-2012, 04:25 PM

sleeping
beatifies
even the vile scoundrel,
yet that daylight blanches his soul
once more

onestepp · 10-12-2012, 11:37 PM

once more
redo, reuse,
startling amazing
reinventing nature's known course
again

CDSinex · 10-14-2012, 01:25 AM

Again
fall has her way—
tearing down summer’s work.
From my window I watch the geese
escape.

onestepp · 10-15-2012, 10:42 PM

escape
run, jump, hop, skip
hastily, quickly
feel the summer breeze light scent
away

CDSinex · 10-20-2012, 02:01 AM

“Getaway” is actually three syllables, so I used ‘away.’

Away
from my window
birds dig for roots and worms.
In the deep grass, the cat readies
to pounce.

onestepp · 10-22-2012, 06:20 AM

To pounce
hop, bounce, jump, leap
springy effervescent
immeasurable character
hurdle

onestepp · 10-27-2012, 05:34 AM

hurdle
pounce, kick-off, launch
twittery, figdety
across enormous labyrinth
over

B.D. Eyeslie · 10-27-2012, 04:48 PM

Over,
under, around,
between, betwixed, besmudged,
boring all things to a timely
demise.

CDSinex · 10-27-2012, 09:37 PM

Demise
of summer brings
brings memories of youth,
watching from classroom windows as
geese fly.

L.J. · 10-28-2012, 11:14 PM

geese fly
in formation
free as I wish to be
soaring over anxiety
carefree

B.D. Eyeslie · 10-30-2012, 07:00 PM

Carefree
behind the plow
following that old mule,
Black Jack knows this field better than
I do.

onestepp · 11-03-2012, 09:52 AM

I do
run, jump, leap
silently, hastily
work until the loud whistle blows
I done

CDSinex · 11-05-2012, 11:39 PM

I took the liberty of changing “I done” to the less colloquial ‘I’m done.’

I’m done.
The woodshed’s full,
the garden’s been put to bed.
In the distance the mountain snow
grows close.
.
.
.
.

B.D. Eyeslie · 11-07-2012, 04:12 AM

Grows close--
the static charge
creeping like a lit fuse
through a room full of TNT--
in lust.

onestepp · 11-08-2012, 05:35 AM

in lust
stared, glared, oogled
lightly, sharply, quickly
from each seam to glittering seam
jaded

CDSinex · 11-21-2012, 11:47 PM

Jaded
from all these years.
Hardened by life’s lessons.
Wisened enough to know I’ve learned
nothing.

onestepp · 11-22-2012, 07:55 AM

Nothing
idle, emptied
undistinguished spacious
remarkable nonexistence
zero

Perscribo · 11-23-2012, 11:14 AM

Zero.
Not negative.
Center of integers.
Fresh-hatched egg of the bottom floor.
A start.

onestepp · 11-24-2012, 02:00 AM

A start
hum, thrum, strum, drum
silently, swiftly, blue
encouraging words displaced old
renew

L.J. · 12-01-2012, 10:33 AM

renew
hope eternal
the green leaves of spring wilt
in the cruel Georgia sun, scorched dreams
of youth

B.D. Eyeslie · 12-01-2012, 03:57 PM

Of youth
and likewise dreams,
I have none left in me.
My pockets are full, but my soul
empty.

CDSinex · 12-02-2012, 03:58 AM

Empty
until next spring,
the garden sits and waits.
The seed catalogs can’t come soon
enough.

onestepp · 12-10-2012, 07:09 AM

Empty
needed, wanted
sufficient adequate
satisfactorily tolerable
so-so

CDSinex · 12-18-2012, 01:37 AM

“So-so,
how about you?”
Friends passing on the street;
neither question, nor answer has
meaning.
