Watcher – haiku
a coiled tense spring
the cat watches its victim
eat its last meal
~~~
Watchman – haiku
you watch over me
like a lighthouse, always there
forever shining
~~~
Watchkeeper – tanka
third watch of the night
the clock stops still in mid gong
Death has come calling
“your time is up” gaily says
that relentless watch keeper
~~~
For dVerse Poets prompt What does the watchman see?
…
Sagittarius moon
full, pregnant, luscious with light
new beginnings
The moon laughing steals
my sleep. I give in gladly
to grand thievery
Visions meld with
poems written by moonlight
on naked skin
imagine being
moon-soaked / dream-drenched / ethereal
nothingness
The moon does not know
it has entangled my soul
in webs of delight
I come undone
and then all of me is gone
only light is left

For the Tuesday Platform at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads
…
A pinprick of light
Among the hills. A haven
Or a dire warning?
~~~
Pinpricks of light
In the night sky. Divine souls
Or indifferent stars?

For the Tuesday Platform at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads
.
dawn
light breaks through night’s curtain
peeping Tom
~~~
day breaks
night unfolds its embrace
a seedling sprouts
~~~
melting darkness
shows you that too much light
will hurt
~~~
The sun back-lighting the petals produced some interesting low-key shots!
~~~
Evening sun striking flax leaves
~~~
Image
in a cold heart stirs
flickering fireflies of hope
defeat slinks away
~~~
fireflies penning
arabesques for the night
only it can read
~~~
would I be famous
if I had a lighted butt?
handy for sure!
