These poems are of the same scope and landscape.

Each one holds a small treasure.

 Sometime in the future, slowly but surely, the earth changes.

Susan can feel something different in the air; her daughter hears music wherever she goes, and her husband is statled to see the wheat in the far field dancing when there is no wind.

What on earth is going on and how will it change them?

GRRRRRR!!!!!!

September 15, 2009


Tiny, whirlwind-tempered,
curly tendrils, finger-claws;
as ferocious as a kitten's
milky teeth in furry jaws.

 

Limbo Season

August 27, 2009


The sea is not the only thing that
crawls in the breathless
summer sun, sails limp, rudders
dragging, unable to move, just
watch, just wait, just
creep beneath the heat.

Morning Breath

July 25, 2009


Each stroke of
minty freshness
scrubs away sins
of a careless mouth;
God's cleansing forgivness
brightening our smiles
and freshening
our lives.

Blue Phlox

Cornflower sky blooms
from the earth; periwinkle
waves of moonlight in
an ocean of leaves.

Freedom Flies Away

July 21, 2009


Freedom feels so far away,
this libery draped land of
gleaming opportunty, striped
in star-spangled independence,
slipping slowly from our grasp.

Hushed

July 17, 2009


Sometimes it seems
the older we get
the more quiet we
crave, listening
more closely
for the call to
come home.

Hope

July 16, 2009


a dry dark faith
a wet cool God
        in between
a stone angel
prays

        for things with
              feathers

Barometer Bush

July 15, 2009


Why does the purple sage bloom
in the middle of a drought; dusty
silverleafs bursting with sweet-bee
cocktails; wild Texas Rangers
chuckling at the forecasted
deficiency of clouds; a joke held
too long inside, now ruptured into
the wavering heat?

Closed

July 14, 2009


Angry trunk waving,
enough is enough;
when tomorrow comes,
you can buy more stuff.

Until it is then,
now it is stopped;
don't bother to knock,
we're not in the shop!

Every day has a poem. I watch, I listen, I think, I pray. When I hear a poem, I write it down. Sometimes I find a picture that illustrates the day. I am always surprised. I hope you will be, too.

A writer of many genres, Sally Clark loves living in a small town with her husband where their grown children and five grandchildren all live within walking distance. Crowded with relationships, busy with activities, Sally takes refuge on the balcony of their old Victorian house - the perfect place to pen her thoughts.
