Colorful Veils by Crystal Price

COLORFUL VEILS 


A caramel stickler...
Glazers of bronze...
Dabbings of browns...
Patted with a dry speckled sponge...

Admirable patience...
Intently he glares...
Hands arrested by perfection...
Heels rooted in fruitful care...

Reveal is close...
Masterpiece near complete...
He will not surrender...
Til Mr. Canvas takes a speak...

Standing back...
He reflects from afar...
Devoted to the composition...
Journey from war to scar...

Ear to easel...
He anticipates the sound...
Revering in the final ticks...
3...2...1...Sheet down

Gently in Nature by Michael Griffith

Gently in Nature I wish today's sunlight could last forever. Our sky a blue that can't be defined by a crayon's name. Neither can the amber of your hair - They're both found gently in nature.

You will correct me when I misremember the breed of the runaway dog we saw and the name of that deli where we bought those regrettable sandwiches when I tell our friends about this perfect picnic day, but for now all I want to focus on is that spark in your smile as you look up into my squinting-in-the-sun eyes, a spark of love found gently in your nature. BIO:   Michael Griffith began writing poetry while recovering from a life-changing injury. Poetry helped his mind and spirit stay healthy as his body healed. His poetry has recently appeared in Ripen the Page, Dual Coast Poetry, Poetry Quarterly, Degenerate Literature, the Starving P

Grounded Angel By Desiree Cady

Grounded Angel By Desiree Cady The devil appeared Such an evil, dark one Told me his plan By the end I knew I was done. I had met a force Sure to break me down In a pool of my own blood I was sure to drown. He said, " You can't be this innocent, You can't be this sweet. I will deny you of your wings And you can join me below in my hellish heat." He proceeded to attack, Stripped me of my wings.. But I sensed God was present So I didn't feel a thing. He thought he had won As he took my weapons of flight But I fooled him..for even a broken winged angel Can still stand up and fight.

After the attack and a few suicide attempts, I vowed to tell my story and help inspire others to get help and to know that they are not alone.  I am currently wrapping up two manuscripts for public
