When I visited Nanaimo,
a fair #harbour city,
I asked one of the locals
to recommend a bar.

Havenpool #Harbour—
where be Frome and Piddle from?
I prize a fine port.

Ill feelings #harboured—
like the man who nicked my skiff.
I despise that guy.

Crawling from the cave,
Blind eyes, blink at the dark—
When all light dies out.

Sheer terror awaits
at the old vending machine.
Got coffee, not tea!

Salt brings forward those
nascent days of inbound tides
whilst looking for ships.

I like -
that -
the wayfinding -
to the right -
words -
that are -
as honest -
as i can be -
and as true -
as a-flight -
of fancy -
#micropoem

Harvesting words
for another poem.

That doesn’t feed
the hunger -

Of just wanting more
from this world.

As it groans under
the weight of words -

Cold as spent bullets.

Lined by subject, author, #rank—
My TBR pile grows.

Sin, wrapped in silk,
My sweet poison in your glass,
Drinking to her name.

to be a romantic to is to forever chase love's #lure and never find happiness

following the winds of whimsy is not the cure for the loneliness you bury

#micropoem #whimsy #poetry #writing #sad #shortpoetry #dark

you declare me
wanting a heart
bound in baling wire
i clear the last of the roots
and tamp down the dirt

Dawn on the hillside
Lights the ruins of a barn
In roseate hue.
There is a new splendor there,
Even if just for an hour.

#poem #poetry #micropoem #micropoetry #tanka #verse

thoughts baking
like bread
on a stone -

rising up &
becoming what
dreams are.
