Visual Feast




Mirrored thoughts tarnished
morphed muse twirls light
voyeur caught stealing gold
haunted dancer exposed
her orb grows cold.

Hickory nuts fall from black n' white
world portal blurs sun's muse
skeletal hands clock time out
Soleil spray paints her art
tickled pink her show on Saturday, at noon. 



© Ellen Wilson





Sun kissed spoils
linger baking in pink oven
Where did dinner guest go? perhaps...
gathering mushrooms for stew...
Time tempers meal



© Ellen Wilson




Midnight snack for us
spicy meat day baked
 scurry to finish
crowd demands encore
off to replay Sweet Sacrifice.

  1. I especially love the first one, kiddo with the orb growing cold. Chilly. Do you really roast them for a midnight snack, or am I reading this wrong?
