doodles. (osi)/{as originally posted.dec 07.2008 sun}

funny circles with spikes
a puny sun on a paper sky
dahlias and poppies
utter a jubilant hello
a hard day's toil
the squelching on the slush
laughs with the gurgle
of a washing machine
the thoughts of healthcare
and school are whipped up
with the white and yellow
of a sun or a moon
this tan on the omelette
talks of the summer
under a clouds' doodle
juggling with life
sketch the day out
frame by frame
moms outline the home
everyday an artwork
alive and kicking..

I particularly enjoyed your poems for OSI "Distractions", especially the longer one - humor and words games mixed with keen observation!

Deborah Godin said...

That long poem you write for A Winter's Day is absolutely stunning! I always enjoy your words, but that one really stood out for me!

Deborah Godin said...

A Summer's Day (OSI) You've tumbled this rush of images into my brain as if from an upturned basket, and I'm reveling in the profusion!!

OSI fading memories - Love your usages, especially "crestfallen vowels" - brilliant!

Deborah Godin said...

You poem for OSI/Slowly just totally blew me away!1 I will probably print it out and tape it to the inside of my computer cabinet door and re-read it for awhile. Marvelous!!

Love the OSI Spectral poem Sands! The line "so tred lightly over the love stories' is just brilliant. BTW, please don't hesitate to delete any of the comments I leave here if you like. I just come here becuase I can't use the embedded format on your other blog.

Love the images in Twilight OSI - especially the 'reverse alchemy'!

Deborah Godin said...

Another great prompt/poem - "Fork in the Road" The last time really brings it all to a wonderful conclusion!

Deborah Godin said...

OSI - Farewell, a delightful read, a skillfully handled blend of pathos and humor, and the last line really brings it!!

Deborah Godin said...

Equals OSI - Awesome!!

OSI smoke - "an arson without fire" What an unforgettable image of the heart!

Deborah Godin said...

I love the line in your Listening haiku about "speech thirst" - very powerful!
