| 4th element It's cold water falling from grey skies that washes away our grime and fears and douses old fires that never die. It pools where puddles splash with glee and mixes with dirt to make mud pies that frisky winds doth never lift. See summer's sun turns all to dust; but, do not grieve when water fails like us. © Copyright 2022 Kåre Enga [178.380] (15.mars.2022) For

| Satin and silk so meek and mild down by the shore sleepy mid-week dreams to explore nothing to do little to say ignoring prompts napping all day © Copyright 2022 Kåre Enga [178.377] (7.mars.2022) for "EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT"  |
| In the garden He approached me head held high, open arms suggesting more than a hug. I thought about his offer. Sure, he was tiny, but as cute as a bug can be. Unless you're me, big, bold and constantly hungry. It was my job to maintain the bowers. Make sure that pests didn't take over flowers. I earned my security badge daily. But I am who I am, no praying mantis but predator and — he was so cute — and eager! We mated. I bit off his head. Lament not for the dead. His sacrifice made a bountiful meal. Our offspring will protect this patch until winter comes. © Copyright 2022 Kåre Enga [178.373] (28.februar.2022) 14 lines... almost a sonnet.  For February, 2022

| Ancient Axe From the Ancient Axe the roots of peace spread out. The blood of millions barely enough to feed it for a thousand years, red turning black then fading. Even stones forgot how it had covered altars and splattered walls. All trace of it was gone. But a breeze began to waft across the land that war forgot, rippled wheat fields, stirred deep waters. Ancient forest-trees were too late to react, their branches hewn to handles as ploughs were forged into blades. Peace was sundered. The Ancient Axe revived at last. © Kåre Enga 2011-11-26 [168.255] (edited 2022-02-27) 16 lines, free verse Original in "Knapweed No.4" [December.1. 2011] |
| There was a time I held the key to your heart. Once there was time. No more. I hear an adagio from the cellist next door. Better than the explosions coming closer. Soon. Very soon. Why lament about life when there's so little left. I should ask him for a beer. You would find that funny. I still don't drink beer. Lips that taste wine... Your lips are not near. And they are dust. Has it been fifty years? There's no story left untold. No last wishes to be undone. I hold your watch and key. Soon. Very soon. |
| The Connoisseur He was a connoisseur of living before he died, age twenty-two and — holding. I'm leaving before I fall apart; now, don't be grieving. I savored every moment — breathing. © Copyright 2022 Kåre Enga [178.370] (18.februar.2022) For:

Dappled Day Dawning The frisky breeze played with the leaves leaving patterns of dark-green and green-gold sprinkled across the lawn. The young sapling joined in swaying in a dance. And me? I sat there mesmerized, entranced a chameleon changing colors —from— this to that. © 2022 Kåre Enga [178.369] (17.februar.2022) |

| Wednesday morning, ten o'clock Cotton balls bloom from bare branches. Ermine blankets cloak peaked rooves. Flags wave to sullen clouds as if to shoo them west. My morning coffee, light and sweet, greets me at ten a.m. Winter's dawn has fled. Mist shrouded mountains will not budge. It's still cold out there, they said. © Copyright 2022 Kåre Enga [178.367] (16.februar.2022) |
