Month: November 2023

escargot

glistening trails on silver plates shine,

in hushed rebellion, we defy what’s defined

no buttery remains, this uprising grows,

hors d’oeuvres liberation, led by escargot

nightmare

as dusk descends, the fire keeper stands guard over our dreams, 

nightmares persist, clawing relentlessly at the grate

·

embers illuminate a fragile pact, yet chaos breaches the sanctuary of the hearth

weekend


as the weekend gently ebbs, within the cwtch of fading time, the old man lights the fire
·
seasoned moments kindle, where mystery and hiraeth intertwine in the smoke and warm glow
·
the fire murmurs and hisses, as tales fed by ancient oak and cyfnos, are now brought to light

act

in the amber glow of autumn’s stage, 

each falling leaf, a fleeting act, 

a drama of russet hues, 

their final performance, 

a quiet surrender to the earth

sycophant

beneath the trees, a sycophant’s quest,

obsequiously praising the manor lord while longing to be the best,

now chases leaves, at the lord’s behest

·

yet

·

in his yard, where colors dance and spin,

exhausted, defeated, autumn claims this win

venomous


with venomous mirth in wooded haze
·
beware the malevolent joy in the creature’s gaze,
in shadows, it ensnares, with souls it plays
