Poetry


Featured by: LadyofGaerdon
crow comes courtingresplendent in a black gloss
of feathered robes...
crow's morning clicks of courtship
echo through downcast mists that
bead upon bowed shoreline willows
and genuflect in the wake
of his purposeful strut
one hesitant step before the next,
his head cocked this way and that,
listening as distant ticks
message back a reply-
the visage of his agenda
suddenly unfolds in a wingspread
that lifts above a watery canvas,
the guttural sound of pulled
stitching sends love notes receding
into estuaries, and ripples
where tadpoles skip and dart
beneath lily pads in the random and
rapid blink of each tiny vortex

crow comes courting by Jade-Pandora

The imagery in this poem is so startlingly vivid
that readers will find themselves transported
into said images, and will not wish to leave.

dust-centred bones            she can't
        say she holds
      the world on her
          coathanger
          shoulders,
              but the
               weight
                   of
             everyday
        drags her down
        like nothing else:
         until she thinks

Stunningly beautiful use of formatting.
Proof that presentation matters!

Pianist
His fingertips splashed through the ivory keys
With ripples that scattered in rows
While windows bloomed petals of watery pinks
Each kissing his cheeks with a glow
Releasing his notes like a bird caged in spring
He untangled the keys from their din
Making sense of a sequence not meant to be seen
He etches them deep in his skin.
He performs for the windows and plays for the halls
The curtains will sway in his song
The picture frames quiver and jump from the walls
Beneath the great rush of his palms.
So I open my window, before I lay rest
Just to capture a trace of his spawn
It's been years since I've heard it, but still I await
for the chime of the Pianist's song.

Pianist by HoldTheNoise

An elegant poem with eloquent descriptions,
enchanting lines and delicately placed rhymes.




Prose

And Here is John by doughboycafe

A fascinating study about how a woman feels
when she comforts a man during war. The details
add and multiply and divide to make this short
story wholly satisfying.

A Fictional Romance by Muragaragah

A sweet romantic story that fans of Jane
Austen will particularly admire - but is really
a nice read for anyone.
