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.

Back in November of 2018, I discovered the joys of magnet poetry, and this website that facilitates playing (poeming?) online. I have a vague recollection that I was so excited, I committed to writing a magnet poem at least once a month. That lasted exactly two months.
So I’m recommitting to, uh, at least one more poem. Since 2018, they’ve added the option of choosing specific topics, and so the words that are “drawn” are easier to turn into something cohesive. For this poem, I used the “nature” option.
Breathe as the ancient forest.
Follow every warm wind.
Shine like a wandering soul,
and the rest is but a song.
Check out the link above and play along.
Brilliant stars kiss the sky.
Fevered ocean steams.
I picture amore’s caramel eyes,
and listen for secret embrace.
Cheating dog, so long.
Velvet smoke almost gone.
Somber, I will heal, then fly.
I decided to experiment with magnetic poetry. Don’t know if there are any rules other than use the words/letters you draw. If so, someone can tell me.
I sing with drunk tongue,
with breast crushed by need
to share music we had
not yet played.
You sleep as time drips.
