Disentangle or Liberate
written by: O'Nika M
 

Shackled to outdated ways
Keeping to tradition
Acts that do not advance
Forward way of thinking

The chain is linked since
Many generations ago
But wait, we can break it
A process #Literature #Poetry #WritingCommunity #Fiction #Spillwords

I Escaped the River
written by: Stanley Wilkin
 

I escaped the river,
Staying afloat with the doggie paddle
And screaming at the bullrushes
Along the bank for reprise.
They said nothing. They did nothing.
Not seeing where I was #Literature #Fiction #Poetry #WritingCommunity #Spillwords

Come Rain on Me
written by: Heather Noel Marie Mirassou
 

The sound of crackling glass
fills my ears and awakens something sleeping.
A veil of steamy haze beckons me,
drawing me barefoot into the night.

Naked, I tap-dance upon #WritingCommunity #Poetry #Literature #Spillwords #Fiction

Delineation of the Heart
written by: Jim Miller
 

How does this unlearned one read you?
From what angle gives me a probing view
"Seeing is what you get?"
Or am I blind to a chunk of life buried deep?
Over which you secretly fret #Literature #WritingCommunity #Poetry #Fiction #Spillwords

Mary Had a Stalker
written by: Gaius Coffey
 

Mary had a stalker.
Of that I am quite certain.
(After watching some foul gawker
Peeking through her curtain.)

If only she had heeded me,
And only dressed upstairs,
He’d not have #Poetry #Literature #WritingCommunity #Fiction #Spillwords

Nightmare 2.0!
written by: Pranab Ghosh
 

Love sinks in the flesh
Dream stinks
Life rolls by...

Music begins to play
Letters jumble, jump
And then form...

...Words without meaning...
Dance out of closet
And tumble before #WritingCommunity #Literature #Spillwords #Fiction #Poetry

Empty
written by: Ash Douglas
 
over there, the light
right there, darkness
down there, too deep
up there, just above water
I don’t feel the sun
I don’t walk with the moon
I am blank
…I am empty #Literature #Spillwords #WritingCommunity #Fiction #Poetry

I Think I'm in a Pickle
written by: That'sJustThePoetInMe
 

I think I’m in a pickle

Not the salty brine kind that is satisfying on a hot summer day

But the confused feelings of a summer fling that lingers on your lips

The Whale Considers Human Intelligence
written by: Steven Bruce
 

A whale surfaces
beside a cargo ship.

The vessel is longer
than any creature
the whale has ever met.

Its engines shake the sea.

The whale wonders

Singular Song
written by: Jim Bates
 

What a singular kind of song it is
A herald of fresh new spring
When above the weary marshland
A red-winged blackbird begins to sing

Floating out above the cattails
In the early morning light #Spillwords #Poetry #WritingCommunity #Fiction #Literature

A Midnight Contract

Rain misted Chicago with a hushed veil.

Sterling surveyed the penthouse through his sniper scope. He had until midnight, one target, one bullet, and fifty grand wired before sunrise. #Spillwords #Fiction #WritingCommunity #Literature #Poetry

Cosmic Confusion
written by: Leena Thampi
 

I am not from this planet,
An ancient soul,
Made of stardust,
Wandering in the universe,
wondering if I'm incomplete or whole.
Searching for an exit where real energies meet,
Without #Literature #Spillwords #Poetry #WritingCommunity #Fiction

Położył książkę na stole i przesunął w jego stronę.
- Nie ma mowy. Mam cały stos do przeczytania.
- Ale to są opowiadania. Krótkie.

Flying
written by: Dessy Tsvetkova
 

I'm learning to fly
every day.
The sand
in the clock tower
is quietly bubbling.
I open palms full of hope.

Life begins with every new dream.

Waterfowl...

I'm getting younger.

It's #Spillwords #Literature #Fiction #Poetry #WritingCommunity
