Power ~ One Word Sunday

Garden Wall
My garden wall is a-hum.
Bees hover deep among
shadowed vines where
Boston ivy cascades
it’s shiny, lush greenery
down the stone face.
Soon autumn’s chill
will silence the wall,
dropping crimson leaves to
reveal the sinewy roadmap
of paths taken by
summer-humming bees.
dVerse Quadrille poetry prompt: hum.

Beauty ~ a magnet poem
Beauty is
spring water, sweet and cool from forest rains;
a languid summer symphony whispered by the wind;
a smooth black rock, shiny with morning mist;
a waxing moon whose diamond lights play across the timeless sea;
a blue-sky day shared lovingly by you and me.
This poem was created using the online magnetic poetry game at https://magneticpoetry.com/pages/play-online

Animals ~ One Word Sunday
Spider
Trapped in her own web
she has long since ceased to spin;
time spins around her.
As she unravels,
a breeze plucks at straining threads,
the web yet to fail.
I ask, who failed whom?
Who suffers, and who prevails?
Spider wonders, too.
One Word Sunday ~ White
the fall
Rewrite, rules bent.
Invite to consent.
Aright, we dissent.
A fight? Ambivalent.
Recite and relent.
Acolytes give assent.
Respite. We fall content.
Despite our diffidence,
some incite resistance.
Alas, sans consequence.
Despot... acquiescence.
Dost we protest too much?
Nay, methinks we protest too little.
A Boy and his Thoughts
Outfit: Debbie’s One Word Sunday challenge at Travel with Intent.
Smiley Face
Bold jumping spider’s cheeky grin
inhabits not his fuzzy chin.
Indubitably not rude nor snooty,
you’ll find him smiling on his booty.
An aerialist, short facile leaps;
satin sacs in which he sleeps.
Eyes galore, vision intact:
eight plus the pair upon his back.
dVerse prompt: write a quadrille: (a poem of exactly 44 words) and include a form of the word Jump.
