Curious Storefront

In a distant curious storefront
a haberdasher beckons invitingly
no items of noticeable usability found
nor confections of the finest sugar
opening with a simple slideshow ruse
fantasies to sustain every mortal soul
here minds wander on a daydreams pyre
and sanguine teenager titans gather
chasing comely Nereids in wicked games
dense loathsome serendipity knows no beginning
angst countenance etched on far too many faces
the trap is laid without any realization
a soul bargained in a tilted game
your fate is sealed for eternity

Heart of the Tree – Random Twitter Poem for September 24th

twitter poems
24 Sep 2009

Today’s poem is another story type poem about a Lumberjack who cuts into a magical tree. It is inspired by the 15 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter folks:
@kateblogs (sunshine), @Zorlone (Gesundheit), @RemBeatZ (conjunctions), @SurfCityJay (rhythm), @concisionflux (phobophobia), @filigreegirl (intaglio), @santasdevil (lumberjack), @anefallarme (employment), @dreamon51 (burl), @JenaIsle (apoptosis), @xlifegames (peace), @rockalong (clambake), @SusanBerland (blasphemy), @wishinghearts (late), @hectica (blunted)

Heart of the Tree

Sunshine and a slight breeze
lumberjack laboring late in the day
employment disturbing nature’s peace
conjunctions of trunk and saw blade
cutting short the tree’s normal apoptosis

A sudden interruption
perhaps stuck against a burl
quick attempts to cut further denied
instead the tool is torn free
blade blunted and teeth broken

A cloud of sawdust
the burly man violently sneezes
nature mocking with a silent gesundheit
when the dust settles something seen
in the center of the tree

A glimmering green
shines from within the cut
some sort of intaglio stuck in there
as hard as an oyster shell at a clambake
the man stumbles backward

Fear sets in
as if suffering from phobophobia
the light begins to fade
as if it were a dying heart
beating its last rhythm

What blasphemy had he done?
terminated some vegetation deity?
or just some abnormal plant
whichever the case that day
he never cut another tree

The Might of a Titan – Poem by Dragon Blogger

Light Poems
06 Sep 2009

At about midnight on Friday morning, I asked someone to toss me out a poem theme, and @Zorlone responded with some words like “Titan, hammer, elves..etc” This inspired this short poem which was written in the wee hours of the morning.

The Might of a Titan

Wielding a mighty hammer
protector of a goddess

Beauty to rival Venus herself
the army of dark elves covet her

Standing strong against the horde
love and passion banish fear

One by one the foes begin to fall
under the might of a titan
