This Week’s Poetry Across the Web

Another fresh vine of poetry has grown across the web this week. I have pruned it down to some nice little flowers. Enjoy…

Immortality
The cook’s right hand, lifted
an exact century ago,
completes its downward arc

unwritten meridian poem
the weapons-grade petulance

Poem for a Man with No Sense of Smell
the wet flush of my fear is sharp
as the taste of an iron pipe

Ghazal for a Comfort
Sometimes the hierarchy works, or looks to

The Stone Gatherer
Now I collect stones, and tell others
they are grave markers.

Pistachio
A spritz of soda, carbon captured, bubbles bursting;
Antiseptic odor effervescing from the glass.

The Iconoclasm of Mice
Mouse dung falls from overhead on books
I’ve made into icons in my writing house.

Starfish
So life lets you have a sandwich, and pie for your
late night dessert.

Just a Poem About Coffee
a man with sunglasses scans the menu
he walks out the front door empty handed

And one from me:

Big Heads
Each a random sampling of their parent’s failures
Cobbled together and mostly functional
