red leaf
floating atop the puddle
small reminder of last fall

although
many tended
only to see
possibilities lacking
I held out
for a
glimmer of hope

Poetic Fragments
at the moment
that we
first allowed
our eyes to close
….a perfect silence

cold morning breeze
a miniskirted lass braves the morning
though a window
a shopkeeper’s lusting eyes
keep pace

Poetic Fragments
come down from your mountains..
come down from your towers
off of your islands..
self…delusion
fables…foibles
what was truly learned?
can experiences truly reshape-reform old clay?
how far have you truly come in this journey?
how can your old ways not have been changed?
how can you not see with different eyes?
is there now…room in your heart?
how..can you not hear?
…other voices
fear
…see the tears
hurt
…feel the pain
of others?
sympathique
pathos
empathy

again-winds of war
vitriol-war is our way
fingers point-blind stares
forces gather- lines to cross
innocent blood-soon will spill

in the window

a note to fear and hate(Double Nonet)
Posted in NONET with tags 'Rev' Fred Phelps Sr, Hate, Homophobia, Prejudice, Westboro Baptist Church, Xenophobia on March 17, 2014 by lengesinskia note to fear and hate(Double Nonet)
sowing the seeds, your disharmony
hate consumes, how dark is your heart?
may silence mark your passing
but, I’ll cheer not your death
just fade to silence
reverse the waves
positive
healing
starts
dawn
advent
dreams, visions
utopian
choices, truly ours
to not see difference
selflessness over greedy
forgive, hold not old grievances
empathy, compassion be the norm

mist dancing
o’er churchyard graves
somewhere tears and memories
