Forks
Separated but together
Close but not touching
Works as one
True cooperation
Solid base of support
Accomplishes mission
Gives a lesson
DAY 6- FORKS (written on day 23)
A raw thought teases
I lean in
It falls away
Like an unstick pin
I troll my brain
Dredge for light
But I’ve gone too deep
Caught writer’s blight
For eighteen days
The FORKS fight back
Inspiration
Flees attack
I deke, shift plans
Try styles untouched
FORKS won’t bend
Their path hides much
Blind with fog
I cede the game
Then sparks flare up
Feed thoughts to flame

A Way of Becoming
Sitting in silence
listen, feel, observe, create
redefine a life.
Day 7 Poetry Challenge A Way of Becoming by Kathie Sutherland
every morning she becomes new
opens her eyes to real moments
senses soul in the mirror of imagery
soul is not sensible but fluid and loose
soul is a wave of belly bump
and shivers up the spine
arm hairs lift, goose flesh pimples
every morning she becomes new
opens her eyes to other worlds
April 6th – Forks
Forks in the road
Forks in the kitchen
If you only have spoons
Quit yer bitchin’
Forks cannot hold
The best part of the soup
But they will strain the meat
From the rest of the goop
If you should drop a fork
My grandma once said
You’re going to get company
Best make up the bed
Two roads diverged
The poet’s rhyme
So go one way today
And the next another time!
Don’t run with a fork
-Wait!- or is that a knife?
Fall, either way
It could change your life.
You might think this lame
My words might confuse
Well, all I can say
Spoon, knife, and fork you!
