This week’s Poetry Friday entry are the terrific poems from yesterday photopoetry of 15 words or less. Here was the picture:
And here are the poems.
Clinging precariously
Dancing in the sunshine
One big wind could mean the end
Such tragedy
~Anne McKenna
Like peas in a pod
They followed Bob
They, too, loved the magic of grass
~slatts
Attachment
One fine thread,
that’s all,
but it’s enough,
my friend
across space, across time.
~Kathy Q.

Fringe on the curtain,
swaying in the breeze.
Wait, those are lacewings
traveling by trapeze.
~Cindyb
Eggs waiting
to be hatched
to live
to kill
to love
to lay
to die
~Christine
BLIND DATE
“Me…Me…Me…”
She gazes
at the pendant
lighting imagining
him hanging
by his nose.
~Diane Mayr
Green Invasion
We disguise our ship
as earth-grass,
extending traps. Soon
we will capture aphid-beings
to interrogate.
~Kate Coombs
Swinging in a warm breeze
Faster
Higher
Stretching toward the sunshine
Suspended paradise
~Celeste Ribbins
Tiny Jewels
tiny jewels
don’t be fooled
hanging free
disguised as peas
waiting for their enemies.
~Sue Douglass Fliess
Safekeeping
Mother Nature
hangs lacewing eggs
like my mom
tied mitts on a string
~Violet Nesdoly

Deep into a fairy world of green
sliding
swinging
laughing
playing
loving
life.
~Linda Covella
Swamp plants upended,
cling to milkweed shores,
reaching with poised
buds to waiting water: home.
~Brenda Stokes

Fragile.
Delicate.
Wonderous.
Life hangs on
by a thread
in spite of us.
Tantinizingly Tenacious
~stu pidasso
How many greens
can be found-
values criss-cross
on the ground,
summer soup
of color.
~Diane M. Davis
Great work, poets. I missed Live Journal yesterday so I never saw the photo or had a chance to post a poem. I’m online right now and Susan just posted your entries. I am so impressed. From little peas, great words grow. {}
