Round about
a way
Not straight
true north
Nor west

Places that never
belong to anyone
Well, they should
not belong to anyone

They need to be free
As we need to be free
Not encumbered

She smiled, with
her blue eyes bright
As she twirled
a bit of her hair

Day 6 Poetry Challenge

 

Uncertainty

From deep within

Layers of Euphemia

delicate like a woven silk

Aging parchment

Covers hide scars

Of pain,

weighty desires

of peace

She wanders

Tracing maps

Fingertips

framing out

new places

in her disturbed

mind

to go

Day 5 January Poetry “Red”

Day 5 January Poetry “Red”

by nikebottalico

John Reed
Words Marked in Red

Red dahlia ranunculus
Are fussy in the front hall
But there it was in all it’s glory
Red

Reds
A Communist or Socialist
A revolution at a time people
arrested trying to get rights
For Labor Unions

Red tides
Have we reached
into the same bucket of time
For Dissent?
A matter for rich or the poor
People need to take action
It begs the question
How and what
Nonviolent tactics the best
Red
