Poetry Tastes #9 - 11: More Poetry That Previously Were Only Published as Notes on Facebook

Below are more of my older "poetry tastes" that were previously only published as notes on my Author Facebook page. I have decided to relocate them here in my blog.

Poetry Taste #9: "A Spicy Salsa"

(poem written for a poetry prompt I completed on twitter in 2011)

They entered into a dreamscape,
Tumbling together in the dark,
Blushing between candy kisses,
Speechless,
A spicy salsa.

Poetry Taste #10: "Whispering Secrets"

Secrets in the wind
Whisper though pine leaves
Lit with the spring sun.

Poetry Taste #11: "Dreamcatcher"

Eyelids flutter,
Voices mutter.
Angelic dreams pass through only;
No more am I lonely.

Poetry Tastes #4 - 7: Poetry That Previously Were Only Published as Notes on Facebook

Below are some of my older "poetry tastes" that were previously only published as notes on my Author Facebook page. I have decided to relocate them here in my blog.

Poetry Taste #4: "Comforting The Moon"

The moon lies bright
In a cloudless sky
Alone with no starlight
Above my
Head. The cool air dancing
On my skin.
Overcome with curious eyes gazing,
I'm giving in.
Pointing a finger,
Keeping open one eye,
I trace stars
In the dark sky
To comfort the moon,
To keep it from breaking into a teardrop tune.

Poetry Taste #5: "Angels' Regret"

The moonless sky mirrors
Against the still lake,
Sends glittering black
Rays into oblivion.

A single rose on the edge, left
Regret in the minds
Of the Angels full of light
In the distance.

The abandoned meadow, burning,
smoldering and melting to nothing.

Poetry Taste #6: "Difficult to Anger"

Try to push me to the edge,
Try again and again.
My limit is as high as a mountain's ledge;
I can easily refrain.

Poetry Taste #7: "Hold Me"

Wrap your arms around
me; hold me dear, close, tight, in
the late wintry night.
