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

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

(c)Expressions by Christine 5.6.16

Patterns (poem)

Patterns

Constantly keeping track

Patterns ebb and flow

Fibonacci eddies

Kitchen tiles

Hot coffee with creamer swirls

Egg curves in rows

Torrents of love

Bed springs

Petals like splashes

Torrents of lies

Choreographed times, dates

Stacked stones

Brain waves

Memories

Fired and misfired

(c)Expressions by Christine 5.5.16

Bee Nothing (poem)

Bee Nothing

You used to be a talisman

A quasi crucifix

For all to emulate

Being about the busyness

Now

You’re just near-sighted

And kinetic

Like all humankind

But honey is still sweet

I still worship you

And the flowers you walk on

(c)Expressions by Christine 5.4.16

Quiet (poem)

Quiet

Quiet

Is the gentle

Glide of wings

Through morning light

Willow branches

That hang in still air,

Sunlight

Warming my skin

Nothing preconceived,

quiet is just there

Waiting for me.

Tasty Words (poem)

Tasty Words

I don't speak Italian

I speak food, though

And make yummy noises

In my mouth

My favorite word

Today

Is

"Pizzelle" 

Take a taste for yourself

Taste the "P" first

Puff it out on your lips

"P", "Pah", "Piiii"

Now try the "i"

It's the short "i", like in pig

It's right there 

On the edges of your teeth

Next

Are those luscious "zz's"

They seem to sizzle

Tip tongued, tasty, sliding back

Ah, 

Time to swallow, eh "elle"

Gets stuck

In the throat

And now

You have eaten your Italian word too
