Comment on Poetry Topics - Clock Tipping by shashi dhar

TIME,CLOAKS
The old, tired clock ticks on and tries, in vain, to splinter the present with its two arms. Why do dead clocks fascinate me? I think they are stuck in stark truth, more than any thing else and they seem to read your mind and remain in rapport with you. They make you piece together bits of your traumatized being and make you at peace with existence; its conceptual design seeping in to your micro consciousness, stilling everything that disturbs the identity, with the motionless truth .The ever fluttering mind is shocked and stilled for an abrupt [moment?], before relapsing to its tremulous nature .The idea of time, cloaks the truth, more than any thing else, commemorating illusion.

Comment on Poetry Topics - Leaves a Fallin’ by Kelly Athena

The Shape of a Tree

Your branches reflect
in the morning light
onto my shiny table
through the window
upside down, bright
stark geometry
of January

You have lost
the weight of summer leaves
You are so skinny,
I can see your bones—
sharp, white,
outlined by blue sky

You’ll be fat again
in June
full and curvy
and you’ll give me shade
You’re beautiful to me
either way
–Kelly Athena
