if you remember love
just add hope
share it in your own words
despite rain
despite uncertainty
share a story that conveys
love belongs to everyone
don’t be surprised if
it brings about smiles
drawing back the curtains
eventually brings sunlight
by mary ann blinkhorn
he eliminates his overbrilliant hat
exposing his heart to her
time: post industrial green
it was said their love would never last
that he’d mess up
that she’d grow tired of him
that he could never change…
they were wrong
by mary ann blinkhorn
maddened mirror
drives the verse
to a different story
one-way clouds passing
I see it in your chain-link eyes
words strolling
past plain park bench
where nobody’s hat sits
fashion — a frilly portrait
stage rises
ink climbs
gathers new newts
let your eyes breathe, man
time is a would-be warm arm no longer
love — an open eye that sees the light
your verses breathe like skinny tall desserts
garnished with maraschino cherries
charm, style and mistakes
by mary ann blinkhorn
she completes the poem,
LIFE, LOVE AND STUPIDITY
her ink-filled yawn
disguising a cross face
ah, solitude
by mary ann blinkhorn
hollered phrase
comforted by a whisper
let it ride
through hollow ancient times
bypassing today’s onlookers
caressed by tomorrow’s sunflower
its yellow reminder
that without love
it really doesn’t matter
by mary ann blinkhorn
How beautiful is this!
in the presence of love
kiss is a long word
digging its heels into earth
a carry-on
to the center of each new moment
the center of all that matters
kiss is a long word
by mary ann blinkhorn
So true!
