From out of relative darkness
Comes brightness
Was it the moment of clarity
Brought about by the smile of Luna
Or that single moment
When you smiled, at the simple fact
I couldn’t live without you
For now I’m skipping and hopping
Out on the stars
Because of three simple words
Whispered softly in my ear

Signs that winter is on its way
Quite inquisitive fellow made his way across the garden fence
Under the fir trees and around the hyacinths
In search, of something
Round , red brown, and tasty to
Restock his larder for winter
Every now and then looking around, protecting his hide
Looking for morsels in every inch of the garden
#octpowrimo
The trees are changing
As the temperature drops
As fast as the rain
Vibrant greens transform
Into a picturesque palette5
Of reds and browns
Signs of mercury
Travelling swiftly towards
The thermometer bulb
And deciduous trees all
Shed their leaves and seeds
In attempt to create new plants
#octpowrimo #hidden #dragons
the mighty dragons didn’t disappear,
reality is…they took a different form
each knight giving up their quest of vanquish as
every dragon decided to rest among the greens
Seen hiding in the forests, or swimming in the depths
#octpowrimo
winters calling,
in some ways, the mercury retreating was
notably a sign from the thermometer
travelling swiftly toward the bulb
even the food has changed from salads to
roasts and shepherds pie

An acrostic by inky
Problems occur like the morning rain
Reality is, that’s what life has to throw at you
Each little problem, obstacle or challenge
Can topple you in an instant , however
In case you need them … there are
People who can help you,
In your hour of need
They’re there at a moments notice
An umbrella from the dropping rain
They’re your friends, pals, buddies
In sight, in rain or shine
On good days or bad
Never forgetting you and bringing a smile

taken into consideration
over years of treatment, therapy, and exercise
reaction to my medical condition could be
taken as torture as
under orders from the quacks I’ve been
really put through the ringer…
even though , looking back, it was doing me good
#octpowrimo #ifiwereyou
opinion is a wonderful thing
but after you’ve vented your spleen
across two pages of finest vellum
re read, recollect your thoughts, and rewrite
for once you’ve stuck it in the envelope
and it’s journeyed to the news paper
a different edition of who you are
will be plastered over the letters page
and though you won’t see them
all eyes will turn on you

It’s hard for a seed
To grow up in the big city
As it flies from its mum
And falls to the floor
Drifting in the wind
If lucky, it will land
Onto soft warm soil
But usually, it finds concrete
So it sleeps , and it grows
Fed by the rain
While it finds its own way
Through the sand and the drains
Popping up for sunshine
To the world saying hello
Don’t pull it from the pavement
For a bit, let it grow.
Here’s Another poem on a tree seed Helicopters, feel free to take a look and comment

I don’t remember exactly
When my clumbersome feet
Felt lighter than a feather
Perhaps it was walking across fields of flowers
Or watching the squirrels In the local park,
Rolling around in the mounds of freshly cut grass
Or maybe, it was the taste of strawberries in winter,
Hiding away in a little fruit tartlet
Or at most, the moment at that high school dance
Where the girl I had an eye on gave me half a chance
Moments now scattered in the mind, here and there
Moments I was literally dancing on air
