Balance huge tray
of bananas on your head
to sell on the busy street
street commerce
cars waiting
people selling their product
cool breeze

Words
Crazy Robin
Crazy robin has scarred all my windows
dirty bird footprints all over the glass
all summer he will tap and crash
each window a new threat
til he has exhausted himself
or found a lover
A Poem
A poem is a waterfall of words
cascading over rock
sometimes flowing
sometimes not
it pools
here
Song of the She-bird
On the fringe of the forest
bell-voiced song of the she-bird
heard on this moon-blown night
while others sleep
the she-bird sings
about branches
sky
water-spoken sounds til light

dVerse prompt using hyphenated words
Rock Turning
I turn a rock
earthworm wiggles away
I turn a rock
see a salamander shine
I turn a rock
soft mossy side now down
I turn a rock
expose it to the light
Tear or Tear
Of all the words that sound the same
some appear the same
you cannot know the difference
by how it’s spelled
Take for instance tear and tear
not one word but two
which is which
is hard to do
There is a tear for you.
The tear was on her sleeve.
A tear went through her heart.
Each tear moved them apart.
This tear brought memories of you.
Many tears made her leave.
This little tear is the start of something big.
