MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Yarn’

soft feel of yarn
caressing fingers
colorful thread
bouncing on a table

sliding in and out
opening spaces
perfect for a hook
creative expression

in a flash of time
boundless and free
focused on the now
the world evaporated

healing the mind
bringing peace
internal harmony
tranquility

hooked

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘In Disguise’

lonely passerby
insolent demeanor
face hidden in a hoodie

focused eyes
scanning the surroundings
hands deep in pockets

mischief at the fingertips
on a lookout for treasures
in for a change of ownership

cool wind lifts the leaves
storm is brewing above
dark clouds on approach

the hoodie falls back
revealing mop of hair
over stern face

hurt and unheard
disillusioned with life
the face of a child

in disguise

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Fitting In’

fitting into shrinking pants
fitting into society
no longer fit for purpose

pear shaped statue
the fallen hero
off the pedestal

misery laying
across the footpath
irritating passers by

the missing piece
of the life’s puzzle
to be discovered

desperation
labeled
home made
