A place to gather words before they get lost.

Wrapped in a jacket of golden leaves

the critter settles in for winter -

then sleeps

The things they think

/then/

the things they say:

just call me flabbergasted

for #mastoprompt

Twisted strings, an acoustic guitar in tune; what sounds fine in May, shifts in key by June

for #mastoprompt

The words they utter — full of menace and intent ; truth slanted and bent — makes us shudder

for #mastoprompt

Some poems like these seem to break along bent lines of jagged motion

just rough edges and scattered pieces - flotsam, jetsam - a leaf on an ocean

A few words, sleeping in a fragile place, where the sun gets spun from horizon, in a daily act of grace

Reader, find some patience with a poet, if you can, for their ideas are being seeded inside an otherwise empty space

It's a tiny world they may be building, in a moment of the writing, as a poem unfolds and begins to take on shape

Light, not lingering; night now longer than the day: Fall leaves us scattered

for Algot

Imagine my amazement when he told me he would now be known only by his font

A invented swirl of papered architecture, a feathered pen dipped in ink, and the one thing'd he'd want

is a single letter as a signature, and a text in which to haunt

for #mastoprompt

Lean back; ground against sky

days are wonders to live by

take a moment to remember, then: try

for #mastoprompt

Shadows and secrets

the ghouls of ourselves

run rampant through the night

for #mastoprompt

Contemplate the possible

your legs dangling off the edge of the mountain

writing of rivers running east, and west, revealing forests

elevate the possible
