    why do bright things rust,
    and colours fade?

    leverage makes the heart
    grow fonder
    like snowflakes


    Wry Luck

    dream bombshell
    once in a lifetime
    sweet tranjectory

    "It is not the rich man you should properly call happy, but him who knows with wisdom how to use the blessings of the gods, to endure hard poverty, and who fears dishonor worse than death, and is not afraid to die for cherished friends or fatherland."

    Ballad

    calculated love
    exonerated luck
    in manner of fretting

    Rousing Review

    Film
    Throwing out stars
    And their legacy too

    your foolproof canoe
    sinks
    over forests and fumes

    series of eight -word poems and haiku:


    Millenium Annual


    - Seasons of Youth


    Aurora's Highlights

    contrived accents
    in Being accrued
    recall doubt shed


    Scrambling Mystery

    periwinkles laugh
    winking cues in the moonlight
    of Hel's wand's defeat


    - Seasons of Age


    Timeless Fall of Icarus

    tumble through clouds
    discarded mount collapsing
    hard bed


    Time Less Fall

    Pandora's credit
    believing age-worn adage
    a bird in the hand

    Tears dew,
    Morning grass;
    Remnants of sorrows past.

    Pink glitter
    Falls over giggles,
    And blushing cheeks.

    Dead
    I am the one
    Underneath
    the gun

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    Four years
    - not seasons -
    passed,
    still I hated.

    Where my roses
    may fall
    in scented
    rains

    Where
    The Petals
    Fall
    There
    My Eyelids
    Wait.

    Eyelids flutter
    gentle butterfly wings
    under rose powder
