No Delight: Anonymous

01/13/201507/14/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

As the spear held true The arrow flew The clasp held tight The brave looked about His stead and torso Cast a shadow That he shook a bit And felt the truth As a majesty held fast And his stead budged slightly A pinto he sat As White said no And budged his might As … Continue reading No Delight: Anonymous

Keepsake: Anonymous

01/13/201505/31/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The initial step is but a motion to a stairway An idea indebt could be a struggle to achieve a way A call to an idea could be an insight to a door But a poor man could be a sight to mislead the rich A million dollars may be a way to pay a … Continue reading Keepsake: Anonymous

A bird in flight no more: Anonymous

01/13/201505/31/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

One foot to the other foot Claws extended over the pedal Eyes looking up and forward As a bird having an injury Once in flight circling about after a fly And fluttering about around Against the shyness of the sun so beckoned the moon After a day in the air And on the twig of … Continue reading A bird in flight no more: Anonymous

A Carrot: Anonymous

01/13/201505/31/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

How are things profound if they are not sought How is being not profound if it is not found In the sea to have a sight of the majesty of all You must first see and gather the sight But foremost the most is sought to be kept As a treasure of values as in … Continue reading A Carrot: Anonymous

The Beast From Within: Megan Tyler

12/10/201405/31/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

She combs through the flaming flesh that is guarded by  a hungry monster alive  in the ticking torso of her body rattling hands turn on the faucets to block the  disturbing noise of the beast that is         scratching my skin  climb out from the cobwebbed throat that it is trapped in. … Continue reading The Beast From Within: Megan Tyler

Wandering One: Spencer Elliot Carr

12/10/201410/20/2021 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I look ahead, My vision remains in the alley, A future lit by mercury street lamps. The light above me flickers and dies, I hover in the shadows, Left foot, Right. Left foot, Right. Keep walking. Must keep walking.

Journey: Cassandra Kulay

12/10/201407/12/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I am learning to trust you And this feeling of effervescence That allows your soul to gently Glow with luminescence. Sensing emotions, like playing An instrument, improves with will and practice, dangerous and intoxicating when your guard relaxes. You have come into your power when you can pursue your own song, and done well on your … Continue reading Journey: Cassandra Kulay

Sunshine Poem: Fern Barthlette Jr.

12/10/201407/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

You are so warm in the spring and summer, But so deceiving in the winter frost, Snow, but still warm, it fills our hearts With love and grace, the hot beams shining On our rosy cheeks, it also seems to Be there when we are feeling blue, and low We love the warmth that comes … Continue reading Sunshine Poem: Fern Barthlette Jr.

I Deal: James Adamson

12/10/201407/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

To the Glory of God To Gweyneth, with Love Flags rise above the cloud wall They are seen by dead birds, welcomed by sailing planets Boots stick to the dirt as hands cripple under scholarship The gun I hold could kill my soul Babies in cribs could be saved Love and forgiveness are a clear … Continue reading I Deal: James Adamson

My Song: Melody Chepil

12/10/201407/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

My song is quietly sung in the dark and shouted from rooftops in the bright sunlight of a new day. It is that which is dared to be spoken aloud. The secrets of being and the know of knowing echoes through my skin and dances through my heart, thrilling, waiting near and far. Going away … Continue reading My Song: Melody Chepil
