Poetic Utterances
by Marie Bortolotto
1/
your last breath
doesn't exist --
so you can relax
and breath now
2/
an autumn butterfly
among dead flowers
seeking solace

Poetic Sketches
by Marie Bortolotto
1/
how sad!
last flowers of summer
turn their death masks
toward the ashen sky
2/
breathing in
breathing out
each day
a miracle
3/
lost poems --
arriving from nowhere
memory releases them
into the wordless realm
4/
searching for poems --
how many miles have I walked in these shoes?
Poetic Sketches
by Marie Bortolotto
1/
forlorn woman
shrouded in drizzle
2/
homeless man --
our eyes meet in silence
3/
homeless man --
I throw some coins into his baseball cap
4/
noisy intersection --
a woman scurries with her yappy dogs
5/
walking --
the rain pours down on my lonely thoughts
6/
empty bowl -- a beggar sits cross-legged on the pavement
7/
tiptoeing --
fallen chestnuts
helter-skelter
8/
a lone crow strolls down the rain-soaked street

Poetic Sketches
by Marie Bortolotto
1/
cloudy day
my breath lost
in the wind
2/
rainy day
this too shall pass
walk on
3/
each day,
I wait for poems
to enter my heart

Free-Form Haiku
by Marie Bortolotto
1/
walking and waiting
no poems today
2/
waiting --
a poem appears
out of nowhere
3/
What was I seeking years ago? I don't remember --
Nothing to find but what's here!
4/
breath of fresh air --
the wind blows away my thoughts
5/
momentary respite
cackling crows lecture me
atop the cell phone tower

Poetic Sketch
by Marie Bortolotto
What will you make of your life
when the bloom is off the rose
and delusions no longer fascinate?
Was it all you thought it would be?
Did you find what you were seeking,
fall on your knees, in awe?
Remember --
It's never too late
to find beauty hidden
in the silence of things
