Into a trap
I’ve flown. I flap
My wings and cry
O nevermore
With feathered oar
My heart will ply
The sunlit sky!

MORE FROM THIS POET: A selection of my micropoetry!
- Sophia >
I swear upon
This lexicon
Of Ancient Greek
The truth to seek
& bring to life
However brief
Each silent word
In ink interred

- To A. K. Tolstoy >
In your poem
From 1843
I am
The “ragged Jew”
You glimpsed
From your carriage
In cloudy Ukraine
You saw nothing
It’s too late
To rewrite

- Transient Phenomena >
So it was true
That fleeting view
Of passing cars
Like shooting stars
Of coming, going
Something blowing
Always more
Lives through the door

#Micropoetry
- The Angel J-Lo >
The angel J-Lo
With golden halo
On stage descended
& shook her splendid
Latina booty
Of timeless beauty
An old man leered
She disappeared

#micropoetry
- A Hard Fate >
The wolves all day
Pursued my sleigh
My team was fast
But could not last
This beastly night
I died in sight
Of hearth and light
(127 characters incl. spaces)
#micropoetry
- The Roadside Cross >
I drove too fast
For conditions and crashed
These flowers and cross
A mother’s loss
Memorialize
My father cries
And wipes his eyes
