I'm just trying to figure out what is is to feel and subsequently how to communicate it. Wish me luck.

hush

there's something lovely about

a lightning storm

thirty-five miles away

silent and looming 

wild strikes light up the dark sky

indifferent to all but its own power

nature's wrath in mime

Write a poem about any body part. Go!

skin

the soft skin of the pale forearm

so smooth and so whole

a clear swath, hairless and sublime

i'm trying to remember

but my fingernails beg to differ

unnecessary parts of me: a haiku

body hair; tailbone;

appendix and wisdom teeth;

tonsils; earwax; you.

Write a limerick about the hottest one night stand.

hot mess

apollo and one lucky maid

went for a nighttime escapade

alas, the lass fried--

i guess that's the downside

where it's fifteen million degrees in the shade

"I feel like falling...." write a poem using those words or any variation of those words.

yield

it's been a while

since i last hurt so deep

i felt the empty ache

resonate in my bones.

it's been a while 

since i last smiled so wide

if i'd not clutched the ground

i'd have left it behind.

too long since i last gave myself-

utterly and eagerly-

in every way i possibly can:

i think

i feel like falling in love again.

///// Nightdwellers 'Beginning Line' Challenge (March) ///// Write a piece of literature with the beginning line ‘I DRINK A COCKTAIL OF MOONLIGHT…’ Tag it #nightdwellers #beginningline. http://www.facebook.com/groups/NightdwellersWrites/

heavenly body

i drink a cocktail of moonlight

and 80-proof vodka.

it soothes its own burn going down.

my breath is sour over my tongue.

i whistle, and silvery light curls from my lips.

it forms a constellation i've seen before.
