Word and Image

In a hidden corner
Something was found
Memories of loss
Clothes green and brown

Too many faces
Seen from afar
Order confused
In the grand bazaar.

In the days of quiet
We live in riot
I wonder which
To fade or stitch.

Ripple and rhyme
Forgetting is crime
Deploy and embrace
Honour given to those who face.

Graze and travel the maze
Or dazzle and amaze

These things quickly fade
Can we afford to raid

Only one thing is left
In the crook and cleft

Staring back
A silent cat

Gives no quarter
Eternal mortar

A cloud given to obscure
An act pure and simple
Strange to deny growth
To run an endless maze

Claim a common tool
Embark and pay no fare
Head to fabled shores
Find wealth white and horned

The valley of youth
Seclude and raw
Given to abandon
Seeing no flaws

Trembling ground
Shook tranquility
An unstoppable flow
Revealing fragility

Innocence taken
Doubt uncovered
Reflections begin
Forever smothered

.

Paucity

Rabies and wine

Scabies and rice

Songbirds twitter

Serpents slither

Quarry

Plump marshmallows

Sugary treat

Flame to transform

Caramel sweet

Knit

Flares and jam

Bright for sight

Hiss and bite

Marrow

Nectarine, peach and plum.

Skin, flesh, juice and stone.

Tremble, quake, quiver, scream.

Titter, chuckle, laugh, roar.

Quota

Essential regret

A spider speck

Flagrant wink

An empty sink

 Pudding

Nights respite

Alphabet delight 

Demeanour

Drifting in and around

He wore a sailor’s gown

Three lengths woven coarse

To bridle a wicked horse

Jelly

Forty five degrees

Converging to a point

Skate and glide

Tumble and fall

A whistling wind screams ruin

Quiet chokes the crush

Scramble and claw

Rive and score

Tremendous feat never a chance

Blast doubt and turn a route
