Backward Flows the River

rotten marsh festers
rats bring terror and sorrow
eastward sets the sun

Sonnet Sunday #1

Tick Tock

across the yard, a shadowed figure slinks
perched high above, a feathered barn owl hoots
beyond the walls drift laughs as glasses clink
to swipe the loot, no better chance will come

amidst the crowd, a dimpled woman nods
inebriated guards are swigging meade
the minstrels sing a tale of lords and Gods
a perfect opportunity for greed

a dark and empty tomb, bespeaks the hall
on woven fabric, torchlit patterns dance
reverberate an echo through the hall
a bout of nerves akin to first romance

oh thrill of fear that still he may be found
within his throat, the sweet, familiar pound

Couplets of Collusion #100

Voluptuary Life

he ate and ate, and then he ate some more
face down, they found him flopped across the floor

Couplets of Collusion #99

To Cause a Rankling

her jibes and nags were constant with disdain
his death would slowly come with constant pain
