Approach — bottle — smooth
Hopscotching Through Life
Approach used:
drown himself in Scotch,
Chivas Regal,
Dewars,
Cutty Sark,
mattered not really,
after the first bottle,
it was all smooth
trouble was
he didn’t
sail through life
any easier,
for a moment, perhaps,
but that last credit card
was approaching its
many times extended limit.
Have you priced Scotch lately?

Friday 5 - Coherence
January 25, 2008 | Filed Under Friday 5, Linked, Poetry | 6 Comments
Friday 5 words chosen by Michelle of Poefusion today are:
cohere - dandelion - immerse - create - glass
Aren’t they great words?! I went here with them:
Coherence
From behind walls of glass
display
your creativity
Immerse yourself
in clouds of dandelion
seed pods
display word of wisdom
softened by
soul’s heart
Dare they deny your thoughts and acts cohere
when viewed thus?

If you guys have any clue what this means…. good for you…. cause, for me, it was more a reflection of an idea forming, than words I truly understood. And yes, even then, I edited it a bit here and there as I went.
I had planned on posting a photo shot up into the sky of a dandelion shower in Washington, I thought I had posted it before, but try as I may, I cannot find it anywhere, not even in my computer…. You will have to visualize: it looks like snow falling… in fact, the first time we drove through one, we thought it was snow, and couldn’t understand how it could snow as warm as it was….
Now, all y’all check out the other Friday Five participants. There words always make sense!
Life Tears

Life Tears
My heart aches.
Clouds floating across
a blue sky
drag my limp body
upward,
where their gentle hugs
absorb my anguish
and ignore
that my tears turn
their white laced demeanor
into gray swollen masses.
Instead, the cloud hugs
tighter until my last tear
has been deposited
within its embrace and I drift
back to solid ground.
There, I sit
in self-imposed muteness
as the once beautiful cloud
tumbles across the sky,
ugly in its bloated grayness,
As my
distress becomes theirs
they grumble
with deep tenor
and jagged spikes are tossed
in frustration
until they open to drop
all my tears as rain
and I look on in awe
at the power of my tears:
Greens are made colorful.
Stems once bent in tired hunger straighten.
Birds and bees and dragonflies compete to be first at puddles.
My tears make a difference.

and yes, I actually edited this one….
If you came from Tumbled Words, no need to continue reading. If you just tumbled onto this poem, this link will lead you to how it came about from a Memorial Day post last year, where it will lead, and also to another shorter poem on life and death.
