Poem of the Week



May 4

small time gods


By neanderthal

when it comes to this:
a cold puddle filling up
by icy increments
well by then it was over

in keeping with it all
that had come before they
conscientiously wiped away
at it, but couldn't keep up

not understanding the meaning
of "over" they daubed away
at it with bed sheet and blankets

the icy puddle sighed,
like some small time god
who was only in it for the money

Driftwood


By Antonova

Floating gently on the tide,
Meekly hugging the shore
Vowing to keep close to home
Never seeking more

Oh, how foolish to assume
That drifting keeps you near
Even gentle sun filled days
Cannot hold you here.

When those certain storms descend
Sweeping you to sea
You will find you've drifted
Where you never meant to be.
