The Delerium

By Scott Bailey © 2026

Through the haze
Shimmering orange fish
Burning the trees
With its breath
A dragon fish
Dragging its luggage
Through the detritus
Of the deep

Tides shift

Simplicity

By Scott Bailey © 2026


Your dogs chin on your knee
Bills paid
A cup of tea
Simple joys
What most of us crave
Beyond all the noise
