Some Fun with Magnetic Poetry!

Thanks to Catherine K. for a dose of inspiration! Here goes...

The Human Heart

sometimes in need of a stunt double
a sidewalk - busy, then empty
shy like a new campfire
noisy and sweating: a playground
a backyard, partially weeded
a chalkboard (filled and erased, filled and erased)

Poetry

puddles
and cliffhangers -
sometimes feels like spring,
sometimes, a heavy body.
maybe a beautiful black angel,
a glimpse of a perfumed hand,
the tree you loved best
captured by
thin, gray lines.
a survivor,
a slave, escaping from apathy
teaching people
how to notice:
how to tell a secret
and keep it breathing.
