Peace Under the Ice and Fire Moon
By
In the night of darkness
the breeze of ice and fire blew by
A lullaby was heard in form of waves
I should sleep with peace for
eternity
Loose Change
By
I turned over a new leaf
Which was attached to a branch
Linked to a trunk
Rooted in the ground
The cold dark earth
The warm light earth
Where used to reside the roots
Linked to a trunk
Attached to a branch
That held a leaf
Which turned me under
When you don't know
where your story's going
because you don't know where
your life is going.....
where your story's going
because you don't know where
your life is going.....

Keep going.
Go with the
flow or go against the grain
but, go.
There is healing in movement.
Move loudly in protest
or move slowly in silence
but be
moved. To tears,
to action,
to goodness,
and on toward necessary change.
You worry
you're wandering.
but steps mean trust and the path is hidden only from your weak eyes.
Strain, seek. It will one day be made plain.
Changing Lanes (or A road trip with Poe)
By
The car is out of control, careening corners
and Edgar Allen Poe has commandeered the radio
Every channel he turns to the songs are so dour,
and between them, even using his happy voice,
dj E.A.P. can't make the news more bleak---
He mumbles something about populous pits
and politicians controlling the pendulum,
or---maybe he said asylum, it was his
third point so i forget.
Looking east, I wish on satellites, somewhere
over Georgia in decaying orbits, a 'little
change in my pocket' and though it may
be little, it is Change, You Can Believe In,
at least what is left after taxes---
We dreamt once, but the raven's wings
blot the horizon & without the sun we've lost
direction, we just sing along to songs replaying
but don't stop to think what the words are saying
"Nevermore, nevermore," I hear, then ask
"What?"
He sighs, "Take me back to
so I can Usher in the Apocalypse."
Brakes squeal, smoke from our tires passing us,
"Get out! I know you been here before, so poor
you burned the furniture, but I can't take it anymore.
You may wall yourself up in the wine cellar, but
as long as I have two cents to rub together to keep
warm and share, I refuse to settle for a better future
we won't recognize when we see her."
He stares grim, then the raven once more hugs
his head from behind, covering his eyes
And my heavy heart settles in my foot on the gas
leaving his last words hanging, "For the love of God!"
by the side of the road
Out the window, I answer, "Yes, For the love of God!"
because, I refuse to become another disillusioned victim, just
in time to hear a campaign ad come over the radio, so sing
at the top of my lungs---
"Don't gimme no lines, an' keep your hands to yourself."

As we're just entering a hot Australian summer I couldn't get into a wintry mood! So mine is an oldie, but a heartfelt oldie.
Happy to be here... thanks to everyone..spreading happiness and joy and getting connected..
This week's piece is a short and slightly relevant.
Wishing you all a great, productive week. =)
Happy Poetry Picnic

Mine is tenously following the prompts, it is about some changes I faced in the winter...not a lot of hope at that point though.

Emanita01 here. Guess I'm coming from another place & time. Didn't receive the prompt as all included.
Hope jumped out at me.
And as I hoe that Sara will come back among us...
There you have the reasoning behind my post. Hope it will be okay.
If not, I'll try to concentrate better when I read the next prompt :-D
First came the photograph. One of many of November's ice and then I found your topic fit so well and so the poem.
It took me a moment to find the new site >< glad i found everyone lol
LOVE the poetry selections! Especially the long one, I would like to post that on my blog :D
Thanks for forcing me to write a poem :) I can't wait to read some others, and...party.
