dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Going, Going, Gone Poeming
“Without reflection we go blindly on our way ….” Margaret J. Wheatley
To Go To be or to go, do I need to go, do I want to go anywhere at all, the mountains in the distance called me to their high places, but I preferred to go to the valleys of my heart and dwell in presence. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

“Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid of standing still.” Chinese proverb

“It is a beautiful and delightful sight to behold the body of the moon.” Galileo Galilei
Baring Her Soul The revelled edge of night's memory softened to a surreal stillness of quiet beauty, the calm before the passion, the moment of adventurous eyes seeking the other's horizon of subtle knowing in delicate movement, moon smiled, shed her shawl, baring her soul for embrace. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
VJs Weekly Challenge – Repercussions
“Death is not the opposite of life but a part of it.” Haruki Murakami
Reper-cussions Soft percussion tears, sombre funeral beat, who will mourn her choice of passage or dare to judge the repercussion that is her ending or, perhaps, her beginning, this dove at peace, but it was I who left the door ajar and the window closed. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Martin Luther King Jr. (which he borrowed from Theodore Parker)
Exhaling Hope Fractals of compassion, microscopic beauty clear to the naked eye in the everyone journey of justice, bending that arc and shortening its awaited time, holding ourselves accountable for neighbours of every living kind, that all might breathe as we breathe, inverting mindlessness, exhaling hope.

dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Way
“One’s destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.” Henry Miller (and clearly riffing on Proust)
The Blurred Horizon Putting our fingers in fires we rolled down mountains eagerly consuming ego paths of reason and invitation, traversing fences, leaping gates, chasing balloons and butterflies of promise while toasting sunsets, weeping over mortality and pain, there is only ever the blurred horizon of experience. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Dabbling In Poetry
“Creativity takes courage.” Henri Matisse
Be It Pen, Key or Brush Not everything must be real for its own sake, licence is better in every art in the telling of a story, more colour, or less, provokes a reaction, a narrative of broad strokes and dabs be it pen, key or brush, touches me deeply. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

Orange Fish A school of orange fish swam so gently through my breakfast, spreading out across the crusty sea, cresting amber waves and buttery coves under the shadow of Damocles sword poised to slice the moment in two, and be caught in the net of mine. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

You Are where I Gather Sombre the days with greying sky wetting my windows, mellowing my mood, Delius drifting upwards like angel wings of lightness, floating above the warm hearth of gentle glow, I reach out for you, you are where I gather soft whispers, my true inglenook. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
