New MeOld me

Would stand by an open door

Waiting and watching

New me

Slams the door

And locks it

Quills

Quills These words are not locked Within the confines of a book They have a life Beyond the spine Fabricating a structure Strong and fine as ribs Loosed In this language of lungs They are wrote habit Let fly from their cages With nibbed barbs Designed To pierce your soul Words: ©2019LCR Image: No Claim, All Rights to Original Artist Source: Illustrations by Miranda Meeks Submitted to: Poet's and Storyteller's United - Writer's Pantry #2

The Heart is a Fish

The Heart is a Fish At home in the water Golden scales Like mirrors Reflecting the sun Heart thumping When caught Mouth opening In the cessation of breath The pink salmon Swimming tirelessly In spawning excitement Struggling upstream Before the moment of death The strange unseen below That lurks in the dark waters With sharp teeth And odd fluorescence Attracting meal or mate The tiny fish Thrown back The elusive big fish In every story That evades capture Just remember There’s plenty more Fish in the sea Words: ©2020LCR Image: No Claim.

Bee

Bee There is a bee Caught in my chimney I can hear it buzzing Within the walls I’m not sure why it chose This particular path to fly It certainly isn’t the heat For the hearth is dead And cold It should be wary of the smoke For the drowsy dizzy days And blackened nights Yet it beats its wings Against the glass doors Looking for an escape Seeing the light beyond But there is no hope It will not ascend There are no more skies Just a dead end flight Words: ©2017LCR Image: CCO, Public Domain, No Attribution Required Submitted to: Poets United: Poetry Pantry #482
