'Word Poems' from the Labyrinth

 These poems are written by each of us at our weekly gathering contributing a word - and then as a group, we make a poem of them.  We do 2 poems a week - one for each of the two blackboards in the Labyrinth.   

15 October 2021

Freedom, breath, soul:

Blue dress rocks.

Kerry returns!!!

Peace

Walking mindfully.

22 October 2021

The day blind stars

Laughed with whimsy glee

To see the lavender grey potato winking.

From winter’s ashes

Distant thunder augers

Emerging possibilities -

Sunshine, soothing breeze….

9 October 2021

Intimacy

Like soil enrichment with kelp

Heartfelt delight

Harvest broom

Sweeps the serrated leaves

To circle the rock

Grateful

5 November 2021

Birthdays:

Sensitive to variety and ease:

The magnificence of joy

The mystery comforts.

Crunch

Crayons unfolding the humble dimensions of life

To find love and gratitude.

(in honor of Larysa’s vibrant crayon drawing)

19 November 2021

Contentment:

Blue wren in the egg of life

Contemplating the rock.

Under the blue sky

The rose struggles

And grows into forgiveness.

26 November 2021

The peaceful tree rethought:

Woven into a basket

To move to complete serenity.

Under a full moon

The advantage of Stonehenge at solstice

Constructs wind chimes to bring peace.

3 December 2021

Flowers and Unrelenting Zephyrs

Blow the Shadows of the Parasol

From my Heart

The Fire of Poetry

Illuminates a Dappled Path

To the Suspended Temple.

10 December 2021

In Gratitude

I Celebrate the Fire of Peace

With my Mother in the Egg

The Emergence of a Baby Butterfly

Through the Purple Rain

Mushrooms into Innocence

14 January 2022

Leap, Turn,

Attune to the Magic

Anticipate

The Joy of the Blessings

The malleable shadows of beauty

Have no names

Only the flow of release to peace

21 January 2022

Our bitey, flamboyant and facetious group

comprehensively forged

the tangible, crooked path

The melancholy song of the elephant

gives a sumptuous touch

to the heartfelt autocorrect.

28 January 2022

Tranquil opportunity on a solitary ridge:

Cells experience the Universe.

Matured food fetish -

Hapless, and painfully trudging

Electric!!!!!!

4 February 2022

The paradoxical Pied Piper

Singing into the wind

Gentle, yet boisterous angelic fragrances.

Our unrelentingly earthly journey:

Solitude in comm-Unity

To the heavenly unpronouncible.

11 February 2022

Graceful wind in the trees

Playing songs in the leaves

Respectful and Serene

Contemplate

The rhyme of the trees

Bending without reason

18 February 2022

Food and Fire brings

Other Worldly visions

Absorbing and interwoven

Congratulations Larysa

On your cool, sumptious studio

For windborn books

14 March 2022

The luminous spider slept

While the dog perplexed the fly

By playing with the prunings.

The fly mocked the spider

As the doggy

Diminished the cobweb.

11 March 2022

The spilled cement

formed a sculpture

requiring no perseverence

Blythe rhythm of the harmonica

Centered in her receptive bosom

14 March 2022

Transition to her majestic future house

Redolent of sonorous birdsong.

The moon's effulgence

Softens the symmetrical landscapes

Into new resplendence.

24 March 2022

Is the vigorous puppy, now silent

In the foliage-edged sunshine,

Complicit in the last hallelujah of the shell???

The wisdom of the bush fly

Depicts the intriguing potential

Of trickling water.

1 April 2022

Let us with the Holy Fool

Be Contemptuous of the Rumble

and Scroll Ourselves into

Adulation of Beauty.

Searching for Simplicity:

the Power of White Lightning

Exempts Too-muchness.

8 April 2022

 Mystical branches

Swaying languidly

Fermenting thoughts

Astute and fiery.

My desire for coffee

In the mystical valley evolved.

However, I'm skint.

15 April 2022

Gum nuts from my trees

Bring new life, and openness

To the Australian Festive wreath.

22 April 2022

The fallen tree lay in the delicate autumnal luminosity,

Enamoured and completely in tune

That it should become food.

The convoluted art piece caused confused laughter,

And brought happiness to our souls

As it is dedicated to conviviality.

6 May 2022

 Astonishment!

A sensitive flower responding to a majestic fragment of music

My celebrating hand

Enthusiastically crumbles 

Passive containment.

For amusement.

20 May 2022

The jocular connection of

the infinite Tarot community

is a transient wheel.

A seagull caught the wind-swept scarf

and dropped it

on the bounteous community of flowers.

Quite surreal!!

Friday 3 June

Sensitive hearts

walk in amicable delight,

creating a circle of healing grace.

The iridescent blue mercy of a superior divine hope

gives a clandestine, spiritual sensitivity.

I especially enjoy the use of 'clandestine': marked by, held in, or conducted with secrecy - a gentle reminder of how often we might discount - or hide - the spiritual side of our lives.

24 June

We sparkle carefully

With the enthusiastic courage

Of sunlight and fire

Praying for gold,

Women hope in prickly pain.

5 July 2022 

The curious blue dog

Languished happily

In the sunlit nest.

We calmly threw the chilly books

Onto the fire.

Typically they  turned yellow.

29 July 2022

The dedicated shiver

Of the ragged cake

Forged a fiery rock.

The weird breeze

Hurried the leaves

Into a bountiful roll.

5 August 2022

The Owl's serendipitous music

shines into the heavens.

The magical branch of bereavement

Escalates into Emmanuel.

(the power of light - god is with us)

12 August 2022

The heartfelt banishment of truth

Betrays the fallen

The violinist lost her equanimity

As the tangle of string slowly expanded.

19 August 2022

Letting go of her fear of the binary

Allowed for expanded bosom connection.

Gentleness:

Sunshine-draped shoulders

Bristled with warmth.

26 August 2022

Our curiosity about the value of deadfall

Led to a confluence of opinions - delusional.

2 September 2022

Bow and Discover

Our Spring Flight of Delight!

Heartstar's authentic magic

peeks out of the trees.

16 September 2022

Seeds of the medicine flower

Make a succulent sandwich.

She twigged that laughter

Can change the character

Of an authoritarian air.

23 September 2022

Rejoice at the balance of the equinox

Weaving shafts of light.

The journey of the breeze evokes memories

Of the sun glistening on a raindrop

And frogs singing: Ribbet! Ribbet!

7 October 2022

The enlightened story turned

Turmoil to Peace.

The Pathway detours...

Rejoice!!! We have a map!

14 October 2022

The spring wind invites

Comfortable simplicity.

Swaying completely quietly:

The branch.

21 October 2022

The window of the mind

Shows thoughtful plenty

And joyous cares.

Music sparks in me an onward turning,

Branching to the peak.

28 October 2022

Impatient for renewal,

Laughter is embraced

By murmuring power.

In the confusion of choices,

My toes reclaim

Their graceful openness.

4 November 2022

The diverse swishing

of the leaves

diverts us from 

drumming

This day,

the beltane wind

converts the seasonal lock

18 November 2022

The repeating sundance

Sparkles the seed

Overcoming futility.

Prune the insidious infection

By lighting a fire.

25 November 2022

Home is a joyous spiral

of survival and connection

Butterfly wings carry

Colourful swirls of rejoicing

1 December 2022

The clarity of the wind chimes

Gives joy

The forceful wind gathers parsnips

To create a Zen-Doodle

9 December 2022

The faithful circle of sweetness

Massaged by the wind

Builds relationships in stone.

A mirage of sensitive fire

Creates a web of plenty

From material bark.

16 December 2022

A book as a flower press

Is a well-known response

Like Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book

6 January 2023

The procrastinating pocket resigned itself

To accept the crystal contemplating the breeze

Under the umbrella.

6 January 2023

The cicadas communicated through laughter

That they forfeited the staff and towel

To the fire.

13 January 2023

The perplexed lizard and the butterfly

Watched from the cloud

The salt saturated sandwich

Sink slowly in the swamp.

Living in the maze between anguish and perfection

Would eliminate the question

Of the toll of fortitude.

20 January 2023

The forefalling fairy spiralled into the spongy soil

When the flow of music ended.

The hungry spider jumped over the raindrop

And into the red stinkhorn fungus.

27 January 2023

Nurturing release secures the humidity

Like a candle.

The breathtaking breeze brought relief

From the sculpture of grief.

3 February 2023

The Elves and the frogs accepted the heat

As it was good for the trees and flowers.

My love for cake gives me

The courage and wisdom

To live with diligence and candour.

17 February 2023

Sublime changes through subtle decay

In life's adventures

Faithful friendships leave no regrets
