Poem Category: Miscellaneous

Star spelled

fairy ferns sprinkle snow

to the breeze

Crescent moon

an enchantment around you

of fireflies

Friday night is stormy

yet in our seance

the taps paint another world

Mantelpiece

new frames

the old faces

Scotch on ice

the whisky-grained caw

of a crow

Listening

no traffic trickles

through the front-yard hedge

Paused in the parade,

the wheeze of the bagpipes

marching again

Streetlights

still wind ruffled

the quick red fox

Latin dance class

the impossible stir of hips

for the next tango

Window‘s fly speck

coming from behind

the pink glow of Mars
