The
Poetry of JO Janoski
Sun
Remarkable
Sun remarkable,
how like a god your brilliance.
Mystery of life,
Light incomprehensible,
Burning sphere who would be king.

Shoe
Shine Man
shoe shine man
smeared
black wax
on empty shoes.
zombie
just arrived
dirty clumping steps.
silence
in rhythmic
chit chat galore.
buffed
to life
as shiny mannequin.
on
thin air
dusty street corner.
by
mister clean
shoe shine man.

Whispering
Secrets
I walk my heart gathering bits of sun.
Lacy trees sway their limbs in swift hello
while I pleasure in this world of just one
adrift in flower sea orange yellow.
Bird songs drift by on breezes soft yet
warm,
air ballerinas twirling on tip toe.
Nature lingering like honey bees swarm,
I'm longing to stay and needing to go.
Life everlasting in fields filled with
sun,
and I, an interloper in this dream.
Other-worldly reveries will be spun
after I've gone as sun and wind shall deem.
Flowery fields glisten, shimmer in gold
whispering secrets never to be told.
