or maybe
sirocco winds
a tangle of secrets

i prefer the second version, terri. very nice.
Very nice, Terri! I think the first version without explicitly mentioning ‘secrets’ works even better.
I, too, prefer the first version.
secrets…
what the wind knows
of the swallow

This is excellent, Cara.
passing it on…
the dragon’s tail slithers
into 2013
the eagle soars
the alley
whispered below
inside
a sea shell-
whispers
Nice.

door ajar
a space
for secrets
waves
lapping at the shore
secrets
the secret
she couldn’t keep…
aspens in the wind
dusty seashell
the words he whispered
in my ear

nice, Polona.
hidden
in a seashell
vast ocean
of myself
Her breath touched my cheek
Felt a wisp of hair, rose scent
My secret sister.
I whisper
with each secret
closer to you
fading sun –
the flutter of your breath
on my cheek
sweet nothings . . .
crocus buds beneath
a blanket of snow
glacial rift —
the secrets
we never shared
empty seashell-
the words I still dream
of hearing
ice moon —
the one outside
looks in
hiding
behind cupped hand–
gossip
inside joke . . .
sun motes gather
on an orchid bud
spring wind whispering a secret for this ear
It is true
No matter what
Wind blows,
Grasses bend
Christmas moon–
the memory of her
peppermint breath
What gorgeous posts by everybody!
recess hour
those tamarind balls
over too soon
to spark jealousy
he recites the names of saints
his voice a seashell
smiling
a slow recognition
of my inner voice
the slow recognition
of my inner voice
smiling
maybe I should edit *before* I post:
the slow recognition
of my inner voice
. . . smiling back
super moon …
all he thinks about is
the laundry
