Toot Chute (poem)

Toot Chute

Went on this spree-ing

Around the bender

All twisty

All turny

Downhill and drowsy

Descendants

On the sangria chute

64 Box (poem)

64 Box

More than a Xerox

Dittoed not

Just a twist

Of the kaleidoscope

A deviation through whimsy

Fragmented vibrancy

For your ashen little world

©Expressions by Christine 5.28.16

Dessert (poem)

Dessert

Universe in a bowl

Pudding full of stars

Sweet spooning

©Expressions by Christine 5.25.16

About the Garland (poem)

About the Garland

Daisy-chained

Dancing in fields

Fluid poetry

A graduation to the next plane

Only scholars of metaphors

Need apply

©Expressions by Christine 5.24.16

Gazer (poem)

Gazer

Pastel potpourri

Unflasked

The ambrosial amalgam

Of stillness loosed

Lavender and light

The magician’s own spell

Bewitched

With wings aflutter

©Expressions by Christine 5.23.16

Mushy-room (poem)

Mushy-room

Corner monkeys

About their business

Swollen head intimation

In these

Cocksure clues

Just

Don’t

Be

One

Forested (poem)

Forested

Woodsy gypsy woman

Tramping on loam

Crafting pixeled filigree

Her dharma

Seeds of her own

Sown sensations

©Expressions by Christine 5.21.16

Pouting (poem)

Pouting

Thrown together

In an overnight bag

Then

It’s all

Party, party, party

Hanging on

With your pouty lips

And one more margarita

Exaggerating again.

Playing Cards (poem)

Playing Cards

Balcony constructed

Walking out with words

On my

Fragile house of cards

Only to collapse

With your one swift sentence

The Mastermind

Of 52 Pick-Up

Travelers (poem)

Travelers

Grounded by the desert sand

Rain forager

Put out your barrels

Once aloft and once fallen

It’s been chaos

Bedraggled, collected and timeworn

On this

Drizzly Bohemian hair

©Expressions by Christine 5.17.16

Trees (poem)

Trees

Seeing those trees

As groups of trees,

They were all trees

I had seen before

Never individual branches

With a different bark

©Expressions by Christine 5.16.16

In Dreams, In Life (poem)

In Dreams, In Life

Grasping

For moments

Like I could

Catch matter

And gather it

In an apron

Like those violets

In the Victorian postcard

©Expressions by Christine 5.13.16

Magic Wasted (poem)

Magic Wasted

Too late again

Creating

Alchemist words

At the 5 o’clock hour

Shame on me

Those other hours

Gone

Waiting in bottles

©Expressions by Christine 5.12.16

Experimental (poem)

Experimental

Askew

Myself

Up world and wide

This new angle

Seized by those

Unprepared to see their own path

©Expressions by Christine 5.11.16

Clearly (poem)

Clearly

Quiet, you voices

Clairaudience

Her appellation

Whispers

I meditated

It away

For a while

©Expressions by Christine 5.10.16

Away She Goes (poem)

Away She Goes

See here,

She’s going her own way

Thinking her own thoughts

Exploding

Out of that sealed box

Bare-armed

And sleeveless

She flexes that muscle

Hoisting the mainsail

On that voyage now

Never to return again

(c)Expressions by Christine 5.9.16

Honeycombed (poem)

Honeycombed

It’s about wishing

On stars

In galaxies

In your eyes

It’s mythical

Honey in jars

Epicurean

Off the saucer deliciousness

(c)Expressions by Christine 5.7.16

Sentiment (poem)

Sentiment

New Mexican

Red desert sand

Rests on the windowsill

Hot breezes put it there

Following canyon-like crevasses

Brushing it away may help

But days like this

Will always remind me

Of lilac springtimes

In Ohio
