Weekly Short Stories Contest and Company! discussion

Jocilene Lima is the featured poet this month on Days of Stone.

A poet not to be missed :)

And a few recent haiku poems:

#1
Clock hands meet briefly,
measure the time they're apart
the way we once did.

#2
Spring cleaning windows
a paw print from last summer
fractures the sunlight.

#3
Red and blue fireflies
weave urgently through the night;
a widow slumbers.

#4
The sound of his name
on lips that once whispered mine,
nails scrape a chalkboard.

#5
By fractured moonlight
she writes poems on my skin
in cigarette burns.

#6
In permanent ink
her name is tattooed between
starlight and daybreak.

Awesome stuff, Joci! Congratulations.
