Wow, again--even the reason for the edit simmers.
Wow, again--even the reason for the edit simmers.
Together we move
As the music flows
I want to go wherever
Your body goes
Watching you shine
Dance after dance
Hearts grow closer
To true romance
Making a moment
Meant for just me and you
I'll always be saving
The last dance for you
Pendragon
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Congrats billl, good job.
All the entries were excellent.
WE
We're as near
as taters in their bags
or elbows thrown
by Shakespeare's hags
Side by side
we make our stand
as close as oceans
come to land
And as the flower
and the bee
without you
there is no me

Not sure if I'll be around at the deadline, but here's my entry.
Partner
Under the rising morning
after a night of whistling mortar shells
and the sough scramble of rodents
in the hedges
having caught a hugger-mugger
doze with the butt of the M4
cinched into my underarm
Charlie, unshaven, droopy eyed
leaning like a pelican
tossed me a matutinal MRE
and laughed.

I don't know how to delete this, but I posted a poem in the wrong thread. Sorry! Great poems, btw.

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!
