Title before the Poem/Egg before the Chicken???
I have this unfortunate talent for discovering a title before I can fully imagine the poem that goes with it. I woke up yesterday with such a title and ever since have been trying to come up with an opening line. Anyone else have this problem? Or am I uniquely insane?

Loved this One
I loved this. Funny and yet also beautiful.

Rising Sunflower
Secret countries rival
between the long-legged trees
crowned with sunbursts,
the happiest orange
This field,
a world enough of color
to overshadow all
the dark-damp ground below
One head nods above, petals spread
like arms of rising sun
Nautilus
A folded heart
thrown down on the sand
like abandoned love,
an exquisite exoskeleton:
its graceful curves
wrapped tight as fingers
in a worn-out glove
New poems
For the longest now I have posted more visual art than poetry. It is addictive working with images, deciding what they are after they are finished. It is a bit like automatic writing. I think I need to put my pen to paper just move it around and around and see what emerged. For starters I am going to try to make poems to fit the images I have been posting. Lets see what happens.
