<div class="text-justify">Happy Friday! Recently, @owasco posted <a href="https://steemit.com/hive-114105/@owasco/raptor-a-collection-of-poems">a collection of poems</a> that reminded me how much I enjoy shorter-length poems. I thought I would try my hand at writing a few and create some composite images to go along with each one. After that, I am going to repeat them without the images in between, as some prefer text only. <em><b>In a comment below, let me know which was your favorite, or even write a micropoem of your own in response :-)</b></em> Have a great weekend ahead!</div>

<h2>darkless</h2>

through the bright haze
of progress—
inscrutable stars 
play hide & seek
in the grey-lit city night.

<h2>prison break</h2>

I sit and think—
—half-feverishly—
of a phrase in the shape
of a jail-door's key.

<h2>infrastructure</h2>

tendons, joints creak;
hands reach, interlace—
form a sanguine bridge,
over a heartless place.

___

<h2>ear-worms</h2>

discordant motifs jostle 
—subterranean—
through tunnels to the tram:
launch into a waiting train,
and mingle silently.

<h2>impressionable</h2>

my mind:
the kind of putty
that stretches
until it gets too cold
and snaps.
