A lightbulb explodes and not from a wattage overload…

A Flash Poem by Chris Butler

You can put a gun to a man’s head
and make him move a rock up a hill.
You cannot put a bullet in a man’s head
and expect him to have a bright idea.

At the Witching Hour

A Flash Poem by Chris Butler

I dream of angels
but sleep with demons.

The Textures

A Poem by Maik Strosahl

When I recall the moments
I cherish most,
they were not just clear skies,
perfectly stilled forests
and mirrored lakes.

I treasure the textures:
the wisps and shadows
of clouds as they menace
then pass over the horizon;
the bend and release
of a breeze against
the ever green,
the sycamore,
a blade of grass;
the waves as they crash
onto a rocky shore,
the wake as it wobbles the bobber,
the memories that flood with ripples.

Settling Down
