Challenge: festival, barn, leaves, track, intense, fragments
progress
down the beaten track of time
fragments of memories of a barn
where festivals were once held
where when one left they left
with the one who brought them
down the beaten track of time
all intense and purposeless
leaves jostled with the wind
in the fall before the developers
came and bulldozed it all down

Tints and Tinsel

the waste words:

Welcoming the saving words:
iris, needles, cloudless skies!
Certainly pears!
Certainly peace!

amorphous undertones
amorphous undertones
the way of the deer
in high mountain meadows
where God would have us walk
in discovery without fear

Next: refine, tireless, crypt, retinue, palm, magnetic
(Sorry!I wrote but forgot posting the answer above yesterday)
So here goes:
The life of a poem
The tireless retinue
of refined words
encrypted by time
materialize
magnetically
on the palm
of your hand
Little fairies, pucks, djinns
your fingers move them
ever so softly.
They have something
to say,
to show,
to imply,
above all
to encrypt again,
to sink again
into
the vast oblivion of time
until summoned forth
again!
Next: Autumn, colors, birds, squirrels, blossom, heartily.

Wonderful poem! Enjoyed very muchPerhaps "vast" for "wast".
Challenge accepted !
Challenge: Autumn, colors, birds, squirrels, blossom, heartily
Autumn cannot come too soon
Autumn cannot come too soon
the colors we so warmly desire
goldens, yellows, and browns
supplant the vibrant blossoms
heartily hoped for in Spring
and sustained in most part to
delight squirrels and birds

The essential ballet
quenches our thirst
for art,
for the gracious movement.
Dance has
the lightness of a hummingbird,
the intensity of a flame,
the majesty of a princess.

Brilliant!: "the lightness of a hummingbird, / the intensity of a flame, / the majesty of a princess." Enjoyed very much

Challenge: storm, sun, Neptune, tortoises, flow, evolve
Red Dawn on Triton
Red dawn, a storm was brewing -
massive creatures, akin to
tortoises, evolved from a
teeming blue planet destroyed
in the red giant expansion,
sought refuge in hospitable seas
Effortlessly they flowed through
waving blue fronds in the
effervescent fluidity common
to the massive moon Triton
revolving the 5th planet from
the sun - Neptune
Storms were welcome - they
stirred up creatures from the
depths which in turn attracted
mariner bipeds to venture out
from the firmaments they called
home - easy prey once capsized

Next: winter, relinquish, boulevard, scurry, windows, inspired
Winter at 33º
Thor in wrath at earth's destruction
has relinquished all his control
on temperature.
in the cities, boulevards
That used to glitter under the sun
loaded with the liveliness of people,
now groan deserted under the weight of snow.
In the forests little animals scurry
through and fro
not knowing where to hide
from fire, frost and flood.
Yet there is still
much uninspired,
passive,
looking out of
windows,
with the secret hope
that the moment of destruction
will pass just by itself
at a snap of fingers.
It won´t!
Next: tiles, wonder, infancy, realms, explode, round.

Challenge: tiles, wonder, infancy, realms, explode, round
"We cannot even recollect the actions of our infancy, our childhood is like something written on a slate and rubbed off." - Vinoba Bhave
upon a blank slate
what a wonder infancy is -
a time very few remember
'round about age zero, in the
western canon, an exchange
of realms occurs as a being,
or beings, transitions
from womb to cradle and
feedings and cleanings
and hoped for sleepings
an intimate dependency
upon parenting commences
involving all six senses
cooing, cuddling, and making
faces embracing all of God's
graces enshrined with love
milestone after milestone
pass by in a blur and soon
a personality blooms
unique to the universe
a mobile explorer under foot
exploding with laughter or
tantrums where anything
within reach become projec-
tiles at a babbling whim

Cute and ingenious!
Challenge accepted!
Next: mosaic, persist, harmony, vision, thirst, canvas
A vision
It seems
we have lost
our thirst of harmony
celebrated on canvas.
Though some of
the aim at perfection
still persists,
all we have got,
it's a picture broken in mosaics.
Next: veiled, phantom,elude, mighty, spineless,interlude.

Challenge: veiled, phantom, elude, mighty, spineless, interlude
that interlude 'twixt dusk and dawn
that interlude
'twixt dusk and dawn
phantoms of the night
spineless apparitions
veiled from view
elude the mighty hale
of heart and mind
to prey upon the
downtrodden drawn
to the hopelessness
of the homeless and
poorest of mankind
