Barbara Elizabeth Mercer Poems

Shined in on me tonight
A phosphorescent presence loomed
Bathed me in my bed tonight
Filled my lighthouse in the sky
...

Haiku

Fast flight of Blue Jays
Descending on autumn's trees
...

Existing on the inside of myths
Inside looking outward
Inward - backward - forward
Gears oiled - presuming truths
...

Piano jazzing
Keys twinkling
Fingers flying
fleeting feeling
...

The saving grace
Of metaphor
Allowing free intepretation
To the reader's experience
...
