Sleeping Beauty

Within this crystal chalice -
A kiss of liquid fire,
The banked and ebbing embers,
In remembered warm desire.

Borne down now by its burden,
A seed at the glistened tip,
The bud of Springtime’s flowers,
Entombed in an icy grip.

And slow its heart is beating,
Its breath is a gentle sigh,
For it dreams an awakening kiss to come,
With a warm soft air in the sky.

When the glass of its bed has been shattered,
To lie in shards at its feet,
While with gentle languid motions,
It will draw on its clothes, discreet.

Amy, that is a Beautiful Pledge Graphic, and Amen to your Awesome Prayer for our Military!

I'm Thankful for this Flower
Our Loving Lord has Made,
But So Thankful Most of All
For the Blessed Son He Gave.

A Tribute to Amy, Marissa and all Friends of Poetry & Potpourri:


Between Darkness & Wonder
Carlos A. A. Pereira

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow’d to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

-- Lord Byron “She Walks in Beauty”

Crystalline Garden
Phil Geusebroek

The rising steam from a boiling kettle
Created a mist that cooled and settled
Ice crystals formed from the moisture
Upon a winter window pane of grandeur

Hot water was poured slowly into a teapot
Adorned with hand painted forget-me-nots
Teabags steeped freeing a hue of brown-red
As the iridescence of a pearl moon was shed

On fanciful crystals magically bursting forth
With sprays of sparkling frozen fireworks…
Others appeared as precious leaf-like gems
Growing on branches outward from stems

Translucent frosted glass diffused the night sky
Silhouetted trees were barely visible to the eye
Closely observing; exhaling with a puckered thaw
Warm breath made a portal through the frosty awe

Blowing snow was apparent through the peek hole
The comfort of a warm cup reassured and consoled

Louie/Max
Julie F.

I sit here waiting
for her to come home.
To make her day
To make my own.

I sit here waiting
the door will open soon
Hoping she will notice me
longing for her touch.

I sit here waiting
the time it goes so slow
Our time together passes
brief moments in a lifetime.

I sit here waiting
listening for the key
Missing her voice
hoping she misses me.

I sit here waiting
Tired she comes in
I run to her and wag my tail,
now our time begins.

Pup ‘n Stuf

Marissa and her Louie/Max are best of friends, you know,
And puppy wags his tail which is a way to let it show.
Marissa smiles and laughs a lot, which Louie/Max just loves,
And when she pets him, he smiles too. She uses her “kid” gloves!!

She’s teaching him to shake his hand, he shows her how to drool,
He will be disappointed when Marissa goes to school.
They’re just like brother and sister, and play together well,
And every adventure that they share, Just Amy will have to tell.

Anxious Musings of a College Senior Before Final Exams

In skool I have long been imprisont,
To men of grate lernin' I've listent.

To bekum a grate skollar,
Soon we'll see if I is or I isn't.
