imagist poems

waves fumble-crash on (quivering)

grains, tumbling into the deep.

---

needles catch on endless thread;

the quilt frayed—growing, dying.

---

acrylic paint spilled across pavement;

handprints permanently planted on the ground.

---

the television screen shatters & soft static stills to silence—

lemon juice dripping down the wall.

---

cars tires swish by, headlights glowing,

steady raindrops drumming under dark clouds.

These are actually from old poems that I've made, but in a different style (Imagism)! The goal is to create a single image and being concise with your words.
