A puddle is river
is teardrop, a creature
cropped from beryl sky,
a universe of rain
is lifeline, resisting
August heat sunshine,
an anecdote to pain
is mirrored glass, a moment
for reflection, past,
a thought within a frame
is surface tension, a pin
off-kilter, apprehension,
a dream by another name

Red pigment, hidden
and obscured by Green's presence,
edges to the stage
A figure of straw
waits in the field, impatient,
as crows carry on
A moon, lingering,
rests for a while in the sky
in a sea of stars
How the day slides by.

— poem by Tellio
Tellio, my friend, Terry, again,
I'm forever thankful of the moment
My quill connected with yours, for we are
forEver dipping nibs of wonder into ink
a TIME acronym poem of appreciation for #OpenWrite
I relish
the rhythms
of the shoreline
a hunk of wood
with a history
all my own
By morning,
I'm stranded
on sand
By night,
I'm on the move
again
for #OpenWrite
Dawn, opens eyes
with raindrops for a skirt;
Monday gets dressed
A Lune poem for #OpenWrite
If water were paint,
the rains would make the landscape
a pretty canvas
for Algot
Paint an epiphany
but leave room for wonder
In the night sky, infinity
paints an epiphany
across a creative canvas,
singing with thunder;
Paint an epiphany
but leave room for wonder
a Triolet for #OpenWrite
Contracts scribes spines
Papyrus-pushers jaws
Doors biennial false;
Refusenik for scrivening
Cattle census dreary
Inscrutable drawing
measuring tax
mechanically recording;
The silently
A Dadaist poem for #OpenWrite
