Poetic Aside Wednesday 6-23-11 prompt – Remember a person you haven't seen in at least three months. Remember a specific moment with that person - 5 Poems

Poem 1.  


"Mother"

There in your arms

held

under

the

sparkle

of

silver

cushioned

by

soft shoulders

as tears

fall together

as

one

shower

for father

and son

Poem 2. 

My "Baby Boy"

Velvet cheek

against my

breast

brushing

melting

as though

still

one

grown

gone

longer

longer

longer

than

three months

Poem 3. 


Cornflower Blue Eyes

I had a "bestest" of friends

at that time when one knows no ends

she had flaxen hair

just as in the picture books there

in her room up the stairs

(where we giggled and pondered)

all of the whys and the
wheres

Poem 4. 


Bad Boy

There once was a naughty young boy
Who thought, yes, that I'd be his toy
We sat in dark cars
Right out under the stars
I, and the naughty boy, with whom I did toy

Poem 5. (tanka)


handsome youngest man
sharing that smile in the sun
along with that slump


scintillating scotoma  
burnt into retina'd heart
