"one of autumn's" by :devfailkat:

A beautiful poem telling a story of a girl's transformation
compared to the transition of seasons. The images and
the way the line breaks are placed really makes you feel
the emotion the author was trying to give.

Witty in a romantic sense. Interesting syntax that makes for
an unusual read.

“Autumn Minuet” by :devalicecullen82:
With a catchy title like "Autumn Minuet"
how can you resist reading? :devalicecullen82:
mixes lush autumn imagery with elegant word play.
A great read if you want to get in the fall mood
and prepare for All Hallow’s Eve.

we're tangled in causes "Hey," she asks, "do you have a moment?"

I turn around, giving nothing away but a slight indication of recognition – I know her cause before it slips from her lips. The signs are all the same and she catches me before I produce an excuse with a wave of her folder, and I'm bound by the part of me that doesn't want to feel bad for turning her down.

She carries on, words falling from her mouth like a clutter of recited text and I nod, eyes spilling where her hands guide me and I find myself lost in a plastic collection of papers, statistics, and reprinted images. She speaks about rights that the nameless children do not have, abuse hangin

My face, bur... ocean's palms My face, buried in the ocean's palms

I glimpse with bitterness
and remorse
the saucer you used to leave

unwashed,
in the sink,

before brushing my lips
with a kiss
and rushing off
to work
without a word.

I used to
make so large a fuss,
'bout so small a thing.

Now that I'm awash
with your absence,
waterlogged with wallowing,

my mind a muddled mess -
befuddled by
puddles of maudlin mem'ry -

I suffer, alone,

the sea-reaving scythe
of bereavement.

All that's left
(of me?)
is

a saucerful of sorrow,
freshly rinsed by
the brine of a sea
torn a-sunder by

loss.

My face, bur... ocean's palms

Len's "My face, buried in the ocean's palms" is a piece that can best be described as eclectic poetry. It does not focus on ...

Quarter of a century

May 6, 2010, 12:01:56 PM by ~nathanzachary
Journals / Personal

Well today I am officially a quarter of a century old. I guess I should just face the realisation that the body and mind will start their processes of degradation... just kidding. Anyway, I hope that after my little vacation this week that I will be able to muster up the motivation to post some new work and become more active in the community.

Take care all,
Zach
