Breath of Change

John Charnley Posted on January 27, 2018 1 Comment

Chill Autumn sings its siren songs,
that cruelly steal away my breath,
to hover where it bare belongs,
in misty shrouds of summer’s death.

The winds of change feel bitter … Read the rest...

Wildflowers

John Charnley Posted on July 23, 2018 No Comments

I was a city girl; you were a country boy,
who lassoed me, with polite yes ma’ams
and not so polite passion.

I traded Dior for blue jeans,
nightlife for … Read the rest...

With a Smile

John Charnley Posted on July 23, 2018 No Comments

The blushing morning flashed her poesy smile,
seduced me, beckoning through my windows.
Come, leave your worn out shoes and woes awhile
to dance in rhythm with verdant meadows.

Rejoice … Read the rest...

Toes in Sand

John Charnley Posted on July 23, 2018 No Comments

toes in sand
sun kissed sighs
hat in hand
gentle tides fall and rise

angry heels
deadline dues
trading deals
a tempest blackly brews

hurricane
with two eyed
white screen … Read the rest...

Warrior Woman

John Charnley Posted on July 23, 2018 No Comments

The goddess glanced at the dragon,
and said, beast, you don’t stand a chance.
I’ve explosive jelly,
nitro in my belly,
I’ve slayed meaner creeps with a glance.

Go fly … Read the rest...

Oak

John Charnley Posted on May 6, 2020 No Comments

feet firmly rooted on the hilltop
gazing over blooming fields of green
thrush clutched to her bosom
silver spider silk weaving hair

bearing the scars of lightning
with names carved … Read the rest...

Water

John Charnley Posted on July 23, 2018 No Comments

*trees

supple willows sway
tickling her with breezy hair
giggling, she skips stones

*sea

she rushes headlong
towards the tide’s siren call
fearlessly falling

*sun

under his hot gaze
eyes … Read the rest...

Nostalgic November

John Charnley Posted on January 27, 2018 No Comments

Sweet, nostalgic November…
poignant, childhood memories
of blustery, biting winds
cold red nose, smiling rosy cheeks
brilliant, swirling, falling leaves
that crunched beneath my feet

Blowing out a misty breath,… Read the rest...

Solstice Song

John Charnley Posted on July 23, 2018 No Comments

The longest languid solstice days
hum lullabies in purple haze
of childhood days in sparkling spray,
of rainbows made by sprinkler play.

With melodies of barbecues,
‘neath azure skies that … Read the rest...

Kicking up Stones

John Charnley Posted on July 23, 2018 No Comments

The white picket fence sags
resigned, grey

bright, bobbing gardens shriveled
to hide in parched beds

chickens ceased scratching
dogs stopped chasing
creek bullfrogs quit courting

dry, dirty dustdevils
keep … Read the rest...

Temperamental

tranquil
she flows
beckons
bring your pole
strip off your clothes
swan dive

audacious
she tumbles
with wild abandon
get wet
bring a life vest
jump in

angry
she swells… Read the rest...

Dandelion Seeds

John Charnley Posted on July 23, 2018 No Comments

A squirrel-like hoarder
the shelves bulge, hinges creak,
overstuffed drawers waterfall
in sunset pools of sappy sentiment

pinching odd moments tightly
between grey thumb and finger
for examination, repeat memorization… Read the rest...

Eramosa

Nancy Garcia Posted on May 6, 2020 No Comments

walking the trails of Rockwood
I shake hair from a tight queue
while a tickling breeze sweeps
away the last of March’s slushriver

beaver are busy building
shady log cabin … Read the rest...
