The scent of ripe peach cures your health;
the doctor retreats from apples.
Food fights our organic battles
among the fruits and nuts for wealth.

Four lines find ways to comic speech
by reading earnest delusions
which sell your way with illusions
of health through the scent of ripe peach.

Too tired to stop for breath I reach
for will to slow to a wander.
Less hard to stop while I ponder
a four lines’ path to comic speech.

With time’s passing everything fades,
but still I must never forget
it’s easier to smile than fret
what life or death waters I wade.
-Lynne
It’s too stunning to be dying;
to even touch dying still leaves
a sense of true solace that grieves
me as it fades with time’s passing.
-Lynne
Who catches? Is someone coming?
The world snaps back hocus-pocus,
eyes instead of the eye focus.
Is that dying? It’s too stunning.
-Lynne
White bursts while the eye watches.
Transfixed, floating, the mind reviews
choices, regrets, what’s left to do.
Is someone coming? Who catches?
-Lynne
Eye turned prism sees light reversed,
spread colors returned to whole white.
Look at this! Look at this!…this sight,
while the eye watches white burst.
-Lynne
I yearn for the colorless light,
bright, bright until beatific.
Time to muse my life’s specifics,
gentle ease into that good night.
–Lynne
I like words’ sound more than meaning,
but quatrains are not just rhythms.
Poetry’s sense shines through prisms,
split light makes colors for yearning.
