under blue gray skies
as twilight takes its leave
and day tumbles into night
a crow flies across a sliver of a moon –
I am lost in thoughts of you…
and our moon gazing nights

a flourish
on a morning deep into autumn,
a gift
For Flower of the Day at Cees
Taken on my morning walk yesterday

toting a prize
bigger than his head –
artful dodger

puncturing
the gray of autumn-

ran my finger down the outer rim of this butterflys wing today –
autumn visit
on occasion she asks
to be taken over there
and thrown over
no indication as to where ‘there’ is
she just wants to be done with life
at times she would grab my hand and point with a huge smile
a finger to her lips, hushing me
she was listening as though she was a part of a conversation
and was trying to pull me in
I was to find out later this gathering included her mom, sister, nephew, my dad and some little girl she can never name
all are long dead
too bad I am not able to say
with any certainty that
I see dead people

For dVerse Poets where Mish is hosting and we’re using Movie quotes in a poem. I used
“I see dead people.” – The Sixth Sense, 1999 –
The join in or just read go here
what if
down the road in time
a look back shows a loss of mind
facts wounded, locked in a bind
rummage through states of mind
shows emperor clinging to his line
time reveals some knew these truths
chose power, stayed tucked in ruse

this ghostly remains
now a part of the landscape –
new life, as still life

For Colleens Tanka Tuesday where this week we are using this photo to write an Ekphrastic Poem. I kept it short.
Amidst decay, there can still be beauty as nature plays her part.
