In Darkness

This poem is featured on the Lunar Archives website. I painted the watercolor of the moonflowers in my front yard.


Poem Artwork

Under ice under snow
and under the cold
frozen leaf mold
below frost's
unknown
zone


a moonflower seed sleeps
at winter solstice
it waits alone
under earth.
It knows.
Seed.


DNA's secret code
winding inside it
life's mystery
underneath
ice and
snow.


In the deep reach of space
spins a dark twin seed.
Above below
winter snow
both seeds
wait.


The Wilderness Within

Hi Barbara,
absolutely beautiful! Well worded and wonderful form. Very close to
Haiku with better feeling.Good job.

Haiku of a Wayward Sailor” encompasses both haiku and poems. Many of the haiku are based on my experiences at sea.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
