Wordling Andrew

A funny word flies out before

they laugh – and springs towards the sun.

Let them chase it through a door,

pant and run.

Chortling, away it bounds,

giggles as it leaps along,

ringing like a bell, it sounds

a tinkling song.

Hightail as it flies away,

belly laugh – before they weep;

working magic through the day

and then we sleep.

Sigh

Breathe in, contract.

Breathe out, lungs.

Breathe in, heart.

Breathe out, expand.

Hold in, contract.

Speak out, expand.

Hold on, contract.

Let go, expand:

breathe in,

breathe out,

breathe

in and out;

in,

out.

Scrabble and Poetry

 Scrutinizing letters at a board,

can I find a pattern for the most

letters, words and spaces in a twist:

pen inside my mouth to stop the world?

But no - no no, my consonants and vowels

confabulate a shuffled sanity,

click and land, enough, imperfectly:

when nuts are out – stop hammering the shell.
