In 15 Words or Less Poems

A cracked gate, a cracked door can go either way, can't it? This week's "In 15 Words or Less" inspired two poems:

 

 

Squeeze through!
Darkness is creeping
Dinner is ready
Mom is waiting
Hurry up!

 

Silenced

Cold and forbidding,
Frozen in place,
An insincere gesture;
Hard to read
Impossible to approach. 

Upon further review:  an edited version

Silenced 

An insincere gesture:
Cold and forbidding,
Frozen in place;
Impossible to read
Foolish to approach.

I love the familiarity of the first, but your revision on the second is very, very good.

Love the photograph and the poems it inspired...

These are terrific. The photo that inspired them is a bit spooky, really.

Great picture. "The Squeeze through, Mom is waiting..." poem reminds me of Peter Rabbit (which is a good thing!)
