Meditation in Glass

Posted on March 11, 2016 by Maggie C

solitude

Before they move on
to adorn a home, or
add warmth to a sanctuary, or
brighten what might be
an otherwise drab view;

before they move on
to the employ of others,
they are mine to define and
to quietly reflect upon in the
peaceful solitude
of my own little shop.

Objects

the object of life
is not to collect objects
if so, I’d object

Between You and Me

Posted on March 6, 2016 by Maggie C

I’m so thankful for the screen on the window.
I don’t want you invading my living space.
I know you’re part of the ecosystem and all that,
but truth be told, you really creep me out.

I mean, really creep me out.
As in, whenever I see one of you
I just want to squish you, even if
you are doing me no harm whatsoever.

But I guess I should be more magnanimous than that.
Live and let live, you know?
After all, it was you who planted the corn
that I’m going to nibble on for breakfast.

Here’s hopping that you don’t find your way
through the screen today.

Harmony on the Fence

Posted on March 4, 2016 by Maggie C

fortissimo pink glissando
cascading down latticework staff
diminuendo
dolcissimo

petals flitter like grace notes
adorning summer’s breeze
delicato
pianissimo

green tenor leaves support
contralto blossoms
sustenuto
spianato

vines tie blooms across
vinyl bars and wire measures
en tranquillo
largo
tempo
