My thoughts and questions about blogging.
Morning Quadrille
Usually loathe to linger In a warm cloud of bedclothes, Admonished by the cold finger Of October morning light, I rose to the song of birds, Inky swirl of overcast sky And gentle tumble of words In a morning quadrille – So the day began. © Kim M. Russell, 2016 Another poem for dVerse Poets Pub […]
Busting Clouds
In rock-ribbed pools and sheen of shore, grey and white reflections meld into ice-blue cirrus skies. Wind tumbles in a cumulus of sighs, ripples silhouettes of crabs and shells, busting bits of bone and nimbus whales, exploding into fins, teeth, tails and sea clouds. © Kim M. Russell, 2016 My poem for dVerse Poets Pub Quadrille, […]
Vitrification
She is aware of the grey frailty of a fennel- feathered cygnet adrift on the lake, an urgent avian emergency. In her inexplicable urge to embody Leda in a corrupt embrace, she wraps it in bandage to lessen the damage, a tiny mummy to vitrify o […]

Dripping
Today it has rained rust From dawn until dusk, A steady trickle of oxidation, Scented with must of degeneration: A kaleidoscopic downpour Of fragments of copper In the odd trick of bright That sets leaves alight, That slips between raindrops And drips and plops. © Kim M. Russell, 2016 My response to imaginary garden with […]
Rhyming with Dr Seuss
Think left and right And low and high, Alice is making a lemon pie; She’d better not make a mess, She’s wearing her best frilly dress. Think right and left And high and low, Follow the flight path of the crow To the door of the pear-shaped house For afternoon tea with a harvest mouse. […]

Slit
I have been watching every day to see you on your way to work or to meet a friend – watching without end. I have been waiting for a sign just a word or a line only a glimpse through this slit. Suddenly you’re there – that’s it. © Kim M. Russell, 2016 My […]
