torn from the white sky

                                                           

By Alexis Arnold

white-washed by night
i fall headlong, torn
from the sky

a solitary leaf,
muted white by snowflakes &
icy northern wind

weaving an intricate
dance of death, slow waltz--
parry and thrust--  

until arms become 
stones, white crystallized to stillness- 
the moon, perched 

on window seat,
ghosts under shadows, whiter than white-

you're too late

Violet blooms

drink this cup

steeped of violet blooms, soothing  
 heart's bitter aches      

Legends of Violets


take these blooms-

hued of rain and spring love- 

yours to keep -

Poetry on Keningston pole

                                                   

Art in Public, Toronto City 

String the words 
pinned on the pole - poetry  
on the go -

Sky, storm, airport -   
art is everywhere, inhale, exhale -     
love, an Oxygen -

OUTside

The view from my cubicle

Grace @ Everyday Amazing

the noise outside
never ceases - whistling, screeching, thundering 
from cars, trucks

going east or west
always fast -
chasing ticking clock

I don't see - 
muting the snowdrops falling, trembling       
like a dove.
