Question and Answer

for dVerse

Why am I sitting here
when the room isn't warm
and the fire is only
a staircase away
far from my books
first love of my heart?

Listen to the purr
deep and steady
that will not leave my lap
and you will know
why I am sitting here.

song for the dictionary
and thesaurus with words free
like small cavorting faries
luminescent and airy

Blue Geyser

for dVerse

Geyser erupts throwing white on the sky

As if the water turned cloud against the blue

Hangs for a moment and then with a sigh

Falls back to the sapphire from whence it flew

Where indigo ripples bubble anew

Until the last ring fades and all is still

Leaving the heated turbulence tranquil
