As happenstance is happy chance
so happiness a finer mess
than any guess would dare profess
keep dancing on, oh dance!
A spinning world keeps bodies hurled
about in random tandem time.
Two entwined find new ties to bind
eyes locked to eyes, they twirled!
Twist step, step to. Kissed lips bled through.
a way to sway away the day
they hold the center point in place
before they fall in two.
A really tough job, choosing one over all of these great poems. I picked Pendragon's. Some of the others were wilder and pushing boundaries (which I love) but I especially liked the message here, as well as the nice job of making directness interesting and artful.

Daddy
what's a cuckoo?
Beltane Fires
Before the bonfire
hands unite
beneath warm twilight
Flowers garland
maiden's heads
as lovers join
Goddess blessing
love unfurls
a new life
to be born!
the three belles
today’s the day:
April’s bridal shower
but May’s jealous tears
rained out the wedding
if only she knew...
June blossoms
like a thorny red rose
beautiful and dangerous
the groom is intrigued...
oh drama before
summer solstice
Tick tock , time is running out so get your entry in today!
Spring
The tight wound
coil of green
Spring
Unfurls its fiddlehead
and spills a shower
of scented gems

ok guys, sorry for the delay. First off I want to thank Pendragon for seeing merit in my little poem among other wonderful entries...oh, and hiring 3 violinists for the announcement, Pen, that must have cost a fortune! :D

deadline: 6/22
have fun!
Way to go baby.... Haunted knew you could do it. A big fat mwah to you angel.:biggrin5:
Just a towel
that is all I'll need
To cover me in the cold
or to wipe my wounds
when I bleed
Soft terry cloth fabric
it is soothing to the touch
the edges are frayed, I fear
but useful when I begin to tear
Such security that it has brought
the worn fabric wrapped around
up against my face it is placed
the baby blue friend of mine
despite the laughs that abound
Just a towel
that is all I'll need
The Towel
Wrapped in a towel she gracefully walks
From the bathroom into our boudoir
Her hair all wet and her face all a shine
This lady whom I share my life with
I have see her in gowns of the purest silk
And faded denim with tie-dyed shirt
I have seen her in her wedding gown
And at the beach in a swimsuit
But if I don't see her in nothing at all
I love my treasure wrapped up in a towel
Pendragon
Pen......awesome poem...(you aren't allowed to post something better than mine, so you're going to have to remove it...j/k)
My nickname (i.e. summer song)
as a kid
I once
saw a cartoon
with a talking-
towel
violin strings
vaporizing streams
I once
had a
friend
with a towel
tattooed to his
right shoulder
so that he wouldn't
have to go
without it
Mozartian rhythms
steamy showers
I once was six
and whenever I
introduced myself
I would say:
"hello, I am Daniel
but you can call me Towel."
Mind the weave when mending minds,
Bend the winding 'round wound wounds
To find why and end my woman's cries.
A towel of vowels to wipe away tears
And fears found fresh below
Eyes of iron and blood and seawater.
Matt. Ashley. Cameron. Will. Tyler. Emily. Jacob. They go on and on.
Finally there are only two left: scrawny little Nick, and scrawny little me.
It's Andrew's turn to pick. He studies us closely, like a jockey examining a horse.
He makes his decision. Slowly he raises his hand and points... to me.
Inside myself I cheer, pretending not to notice the broken look on Nick's face.
Together my team and I run to grab the dodgeballs.
For now, I am safe.
On a lonely planet
I and towel are one
Wet he is hard as steel
Heavy as lightnings feel
I flick him at the foe
On a lonely planet
I and towel are one
Dry she is soft as foam
Draped like daylight at home
Caressing my flesh dry
I am alone, planet
Now my towel is gone
O hear my keen lament
How love for linen went
Loved poorly? No, too well.
the dog made a mess
fine end for a noble fir
in this paper towel
