I walked straight into The wall we made, too high, staid, I could not scale it; There was no going through it Passage impossible met. Times before I knew Return tickets would bring you But this time, worry, My heart bound with ribbons, twine, Left alone to never shine. I was always yours, You were never become mine; Broken against walls I could not soon pass through to Inhabit your life, present. A dream, so unreal, Myself tarnished, so you feel, I say, “It’s alright,” When I wake trembling at night; Once, we were the best, so right.
Prompt Consider something that arouses strong emotion, embody it in your creation.

I thought of going To church today, but somehow Time did run away I was by myself, weathered In, and ice ridden, forbade. My dark chariot Sat like some sullen creature Dreaming of the charge But not to travel at large Lamented duty undone. The sun his rising Weak like a candle exposed To withering draft Only graying white woolen Peaked skies became on high. The crystals shining Where they lay combining ice With the passing snow Winter showering itself On those who thought not to know.

It is Winter, I suppose, But as the weather is, who knows? A scattering murder of crows Wings away as daylight goes. Caught in these woods at sundown Cawing echoes, surrounding sound, Marking a spot in memory As the crows escape over the chimney. Ebony wings go forth, calling, It is backward, into the past falling My mind flys to times appalling But I try to busy be, Love installing.
Prompt: Think of something relating to Winter and create work informing your audience.

Amens The light of day approaches soft as a kiss The straw and trees become I clearly hear the arrival of birds A rooster in the distance crows As I open the door for the dogs I brace myself for the chill; Morning a pleasure given By God who holds it in His hands.
I Already Know The soft caress of love after long loneliness Being chosen for surprising tasks which honored me Studying and learning more than I dreamed or expected Living a fortunate life, blessed with family and friends; Life is a compendium of every moment we come through Sometimes we are generously blessed beyond our stress.
Prompt Write about your own amens or something you know already or even about the photograph below. Create something if you are a visual artist.

Swerve The path ahead is narrow There is little space to waste A moment out of real-time, But coming round a curve The sudden traffic stops, swerve! On the grass, signed, “Keep Off!” The forest beckons, a dream welcomes, Crystal shines, the path behind, But entering the story between the lines Adventure takes hold, sweeps off the reek Of buildings and pollution, here safe to keep – Creativity impinging every minute, wild awake.
Sometimes Red, Others Green The mind can close, bars in, gates down, red, Tools to separate ideas, thoughts, imagination – pushed Until the opening, green, when everything flows Bringing chaos together, intellect unleashed – tempestuous dreams.
Place Yourself The page, a world, wide-open, The canvas, an ever-emerging vision, The photograph, anything, anywhere, seen, The pan, pot – whatever is gotten, mixed, hot, The lesson captured wisdom, learning sought, The film, bringing imagination alive, action caught, The music, no static, instruments, voices, well-arranged, The business, constant motion, full-accounting, bills paid, All things in unison, talent-focused, money made; Ideas merge artistry, creation, creators, each trying To make life worth the sands running down, The moments a treasure, pleasure, of being – Who we become on the journey toward Heaven’s gates.
Bits of Evanescence You, whoever thought pronounces thee Are not in any sort of captivity Though you may feel caged, you are free To be the one you want and need to be. This world, its shadows are not yours, mine, We transform what seems into joy we find When our souls are given ample space, time, To become caring, gracious, generous, kind. No barrier can imprison, prevent, shackle Love, It goes wherever hearts open to the treasure trove Carried in all the feeling fully expressed Given to others without return’s expectation, blessed. Happiness born in simplicity Sharing the goodness of spirit, aptly, Feeding the yearnings, bestowing energy, To turn life into Love’s overwhelming ministry.
However, Whatever, Wherever, Whenever, Why? Volume Twelve will begin soon, either today or tomorrow. I finished filling Volume Eleven this morning in an extraordinary burst of verse. I started it on Saturday, June 19, 2021, and ended it today.

I did not have to go out yesterday because I had a virtual appointment with my doctor. 4. Having no reason to go to town today. 5. Still mobile, still here; every day is a gift.
