Star Poetry

Dark Summer
My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie B&P’s Shadorma & Beyond – Shadorma Summation – July 30, 2016 Five years have passed Since that dark summer, Amy Winehouse gone And you in a coma.

Grandmother’s 14th Birthday
My response to Imaginary Garden with Real Toads Kerry Says ~ Let’s Send a Postcard I have used a postcard sent to my grandmother in 1926 for her 14th birthday. I have a very small collection of cards she had saved and passed on to me. Between the wars Dark days were briefly forgotten […]

Bones crumble in catacombs, Phantoms mumble in marble tombs; Motes dance on a stale breath of air, […]
Cracking the Knuckle Clock
My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Tale Weaver #78 July 28th – Waiting Waiting, Counting minutes with each crack Of the knuckle clock, Each tick followed by a tock. Scanning, Searching crowds for her face, Feeling out of place, Longing for her embrace. Shuffling, Rearranging aching feet On cracks of cruddy concrete, Sweltering in the heat. […]
