Masterpiece
I’m a little late for Monday Mural, but the image was so inspiring…that I wrote this poem for it. Enjoy.

I would caress
her soft, painted back now
but I would ruin the art
before my hungry eyes

Fingerprinting Portrait 02 by Juggle5
This Fib chain was written for the Monday Mural prompt at Poefusion. Enjoy.

a
face
forms in
fingerprints
my fingers form you
pixelated grayscale wonder
who
are
you, this
face coming
out of my mind to
stare at me from paper, wordless?
I
probe
for the
mysteries
behind your silent
eyes, paintbrushes, and collapsed spine

I went back and wrote this chained lune for Poefusion’s Tuesday Title, which was “Brushstrokes and Sage”. Sorry, I couldn’t pass this one up. Enjoy.

Waterfall Prison
I was able to write something for Friday Five at Poefusion this week…this Friday’s words were: exiguous, waterfall, thoughtless, imperfect, and gifted. This is a chained lune. Enjoy.

Skeltonic #4
This skeltonic was written for the Monday Mural Prompt for this week over at Poefusion. I took a darker approach to the photo. Enjoy.

I am chaos, personified.
I testify
that I am about to die;
I wilt. Continue reading
Jonathan’s Farewell to David
This free verse poem was written for the Friday 5 prompt at Poefusion. This week’s Five Words were: awkward, uninterrupted, fatal, damp, and skeptic. Enjoy.
-Nicole
———————————————————–
awkward
silence
a moment held in tension
between two absolute lines
each a trembling column of flesh and spirit
intentions lie as battered lumps of clay
pre-golem forms within the brain
unable to form, rise up, and march
outside of flesh into the air
unable to cut the wire and walk away
yet unsure of just the right thing to say

Skeltonic #3
This skeltonic verse was written for three prompts: Poefusion’s Tuesday Title (Deep Fried Gravel), Simply Snicker’s weekly prompt (using the words: wander, wonder, weak, wilt, and wit), and today’s Meme Express Prompt (which includes this quote by George Eliot: “The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice.”).
This was written in almost a single-shot, stream-of-consciousness kind of mindframe; some of this might seem a little esoteric or unlike my normal style or subject matter. Nonetheless, I offer it for your reading pleasure. Enjoy.
-Nicole

I wander
with wonder;
through the diverse
corners of the Multi-verse,
I traverse
to immerse
myself in stardust,
satisfy my wanderlust. Continue reading
