Okay, so I spent the better part of a day moving some of my poetry from an old blog and posting on here. Got rid of some old stuff and made myself promise to blog more often and not put it off.

Now, I get on here and I have been 'flagged as possible spam'.. what does that even mean? Some bot somewhere has decided my postings contain quite a bit of mumbo jumbo and could possibly have been posted by another bot just to achieve what? grrrr....

Well, I have 'requested a review' of my postings to have the alert removed. How long will that take... meanwhile, anyone that might bump into my site, purely by accident at this point because I am sooo darn new to this anyway... will get some warning that they have to physically bypass in order to even view my page!

OK.. I will beg, blogger, please, allow me to post on your site, allow me to rant and rave and just post my mumbo jumbo when I need the creative outlet... please oh please.. blogger, please un-spam me!

Death is a beautiful sunsetImage by Unitopia via Flickr

Time patiently crossed elsewhere
personal drought found rain
as the safe, calm Light of reward
Crashes in from Heaven

For winter's crystallized picture windows
For the artist's delicious autumn
For the summer's brightened frames
Nature variegated the chameleon

The night fills their lungs
with delicious, piercingly bitter Fragrance.

Breezes caress hot dark lips

Gentle melodies of desire sway in the trees as the rustling leaves escort them to the door

Hiking at :en:Eagle Creek (Multnomah County, O...Image via Wikipedia

Hiking
misty humid gray
leaf covered winding footpath
dense calm solitude

Blossom
wildflower or weed
neither distinction matters
a purple beauty

Snow
fluffy white cotton
falling gently, swirling down
landing on my nose

Fall Lake
blue top blue bottom
bright colorful reflection
rainbow without rain

Cactus
brown and yellow hues
amidst prickly leaves and stems
porcupine flowers

Winter Forest
regal majestic
frozen white-shawled boughs climb high
perfect blue backdrop

Water
eroding canyons
gently cleansing earth and beast
clear life giving drops

Pebbles
small gray hard roundish
broken shaped whittled through time
insignificant

Waterfall
rainbows at your feet
melting icecaps create you
you forceful pure soul

Sunset
bright horizon west
your calm colors end my day
'til tomorrows light

Trees
nature's skyscrapers
leaves soaking up her sunlight
creating my shade

Rose
petals opened wide
long-stem yellow miracle
heavenly fragrance

Thanks for reading my Haikus, I enjoy the challenge of expressing a single concept as completely as possible with only the 17 syllables. Reblog this post [with Zemanta]

Spring leavesImage by Grant MacDonald via Flickr

October drifts by;
compelling landscape green to yellow.

Bouncing withered generations
of autumnal leaves,

ghostlike ancestral patterns,

into shadows...
....

Not Just a Color

Red is not just a color
it can be felt
when you are in love
you feel your cheeks flush red
red with desire for that first kids
red with lust for that first touch
when you are angry
you feel your insides glow red
red with the need to lash out
red with the heat of rage
when you are embarrassed
you feel your stomach flip red
red with regret
red with the want to get away
when you are red, you are alive
the red flows in your veins
red that surges and pumps
without red, you would be blue
blue is not just a color

They call them twisters around these parts
drilling all spring in their honor
lectures to kids on safety
due respect of power
Kansas is my home
I love it here
into the
cellar
now
