DOCK AT DUSK, LAKE KASHAGAWIGAMOG
An opal shell and a golden star
The spotted loon that breaks the mirrored still
Floating across a navy water pane
Calling for a mate, longing –
These are solitudes that
Ripple through the core
Unveiling the wonder of simplicity.

SUNSET BY DIAMOND HEAD
—
Night fly
Flittering near my rum
Torches
Burning like the sun
Old man
Beating on the drum
Dancer
Swirling top and bum
Oahu –
Isle of surf and fun!

LOVERS PARTINGMalice burrows
In your boorish heart
Finding safe haven there
Frolicking against rank walls
As you dump my love
Like a no name
Green trash bag.

When I finished reading the first poem, I thought, “this sounds like Patricia’s writing” and when I finished reading and saw Patricia’s name I couldn’t believe I was actually right. Patricia, you definitely have captured your “voice”. Melissa, glad Patricia was featured. 🙂
