Day 90
Sometimes lovers become friends
clementines are mandarins
a feather is a pen,
and daughters can come home again.
#100days
#poetweet
Day 89
Changes can seem a bad dream
without friends to help you see
the hopeful omen shining
in the eye of a cat.
#100days
#poetweet
Day 88
when it shatters like a teacup
slipped from your hand
king's horses and men have no hope
where do you keep love?
#100days
#poetweet
Day 87
Close the door douse the light
wanna close my eyes a while
the sun can knock in a day or so
I'll open the window
#100days
#poetweet
Day 86
Woke with my ear to the floor
by my ankles and elbows
asked my knees to get together
no answer. Am disconnected.
#100days
#poetweet
Day 85
A two-decade love letter began my day
A truck carried your things away.
Empty rooms wait.
I sit in a hideaway.
#100days
#poetweet
Day 84
If I could sail through time
I'd dip oars into the sea
steer to the first day I held you
again, again and again
#100days
#poetweet
Day 83
The power to move oceans
or turn mere men to beasts,
enigmatic moon, I think you
may prove woman, after all.
#100days
#poetweet
Day 82
I need a space with no ghosts
a corner where I can think
where silence can find me
alone playing hide and seek.
#100days
#poetweet
Day 81
Sometimes silence speaks to me
in a familiar tone but
sometimes he steals my voice,
leaves me alone with myself.
#100days
#poetweet
Day80
blueberry sweet on my tongue
fermented red, bottled, set aside
juice of summer to savor
this snowy moonlit night
#100days
#twitpoem
Day 79
Springtime cries in thunder,
playing at hide & seek.
Do you enter or delay?
If I call, will you answer?
#100days

(answer)
Day 78
My eyes slip on twin dresses
drawing lashes over curves.
Soon they'll dance the night away
while I dream of you
#100days
#twitpoem
Day 77
If I whisper my fears to you
silvery moth, will you bear them
away to my man in the moon
so I can fall asleep?
#100days
#poetweet
Day 76
Exquisite elm reaching for the sky
did you ever wonder if you could
or is it simply in you to try?
#100days
#poetweet
Day 75
Is it strange that Freebird
makes me wanna start the car
and drive all night 'til I find
an empty space to fill?
#100days
#poetweet
Day 74
A hint of lime on my tongue
blends with harmony in
a string of notes while his guitar
carries us into night.
#100days
#poetweet
Day 73
Hid 'neath satin and lace, dark
lashed eyes and quick smile
is a heart full of contradictions.
Dare you open it?
#100days
#twitpoem
Day 72
Took a walk with a brown-eyed
girl this winter afternoon.
All who paused to say hello
declared her canine beauty
#100days
#poetweet
Day 71
Red-faced brush away tears of joy
of sorrow, emotion echoes
across my spirit, pleasure
and pain mean I'm alive.
#100days
#poetweet
Day 70
The man in the moon watches
through my window unwaveringly
gazes with your expectant eyes
then draws the shades.
#100days
#poetweet
Day 69
Tried to beguile today with
a few hundred pages of fiction.
She gave me a cold shoulder,
frosted my window pane.
#100days
#poetweet
Day 68
The words won't come alive.
The muses run and play.
The ink and paper wait, while
the poet sleeps away the day.
#100days
#poetweet
Day 67
Crack the shell and spill the yolk
across a midnight sky.
Diamond glittered blackbird
spread your wings and fly.
#100days
#poetweet
Day 66
The lights are off, the house is
quiet but the moon is talkative
in the sky, whispering my
name to the night.
#100days
#poetweet
Day 65
I know why February shivers
how widow and mother cried
bid goodbye to what
rock and roll might be.
I remember.
#100days
#poetweet
Day 64
Fold me crease me I won't
protest when you bend me tuck
my corners, know when you
release me with wings I'll fly
#100days
#poetweet
Day 63
Rosy sweet it rolls across my lips
curls warmth around me
caresses the glass and
reminds me of your kisses.
