Crystal
Facets my love
Sparkling as time of day
Shifts colors to sing tones of life
Collected and dispersed on the instant
Your heart needs to know how I care
To share all radiance
With your own . . . more

Passage
Caused by yearning
Births a restless journey
About the globe in sea salt moved
Suspended and transmuted for the ride
On swells of moon and sun brought tides
To kiss a shore and stay
For . . . more

Hornets
For all their noise
And busy hive hubbub
Are stirred to retaliation
For nearby vibrations and loud noises
Reminiscent of tired people
Whose anger flares as riled
Irascible
Hornets

This rictameter is dedicated to Ann Rauvola who used her awesome graphic art talents to create an icon and masthead to marvelously display what our poetry form is all about. Thank you, Ann.

As now
When apples fall
To bruise on hard, dry ground,
A hungry soul senses deep truth;
The deed is done and there is food to eat;
Somewhere beneath the apple tree
Search yields discovery-- . . . more

Indulge
My heart a beat
Quicker than the others,
Your eyes, their widened state of awe,
Your grace appears along the ghostly path,
An ethereal truth of you
Lasting beyond your life--
My soul begs . . . more

Respite
From winter's wrath
Comes on rays of false spring
That warms me as if it were true;
People roll windows down to smile and wave
As they drive in short-sleeved good cheer
To shop . . . more

Someday
I will show you
My accounts to and fro,
Between a mountain in the clouds,
And the loving birthright sea, down below;
But for today, preface is yours
To think about the road
That . . . more

Portals
Let my love pass
Through ever-changing life
Into atmospheres that bathe her,
Clothe her, and scent her so her laughter peals;
Her echoes touch my lonely room,
Send me through melody
Dancing . . . more

Why now?
Snow collapses
As temperatures climb
On ground living in filtered light
To keep the promise of spring growth alive--
For life to sally forth renewed
Into fresh, fragrant air
Why . . . more

Eclipse - Rictameter (2-4-6-8-10-8-6-4-2)
Winter
Lunar eclipse
The Moon in Earth's umbra
The Earth's shadow upon the moon
The moon doesn't totally disappear . . . more

Starbursts
Spark from wave crests
To charm a loving pair
Who clasp hands at the liner's rail
And regale as her ring becomes as one
With nature's dancing nighttime heart
And glimpse their . . . more

Suspicion-(rictameter)
A hint
Of difference
Whispers in ears; in dark.
Day brings false smiles, nods. Roving eyes.
Rashness murders bodies; mouths closet thoughts. . . . more

Away
Go fog billows,
Ragged departing shapes
On wind with many things to do
Like lift my kite over the sandy beach
And play with my piloting skill—
Oops! Slackened kite string snaps; . . . more

Sweater
Cables defense
From neckline to waistline
A lamb's wool protection for you
Warm on that high granite outcrop, laughing,
Suddenly serious, watching
Condors lift from aeries
You clutch . . . more

Silent.
Green messenger
glowing on a cold screen
informs me "Status - not yet read"
Through Ethernet we knew essence of us.
Now you're gone. Quiet I scream . . . more

Phooey!
Stinking Garbage
Scattered by dogs at night
Greets my nose and makes the bile rise
While I upturn the can from which it came
And pinch the evil, rotting stuff
With fingers loathe to . . . more

Shady
Road serpentines
Past gritty snow fillets
And stoic spears of tall bull pines,
The sports car gaining speed to leave the sight
And find the sun holding dry court,
Ready for longer days, . . . more

Winter
Rips through my clothes,
Chaps and reddens my cheeks,
Sails crisp brown leaves capriciously;
Her time to cool Earth's overheated crust
After seasons of growing stuff;
She shows us her . . . more
