Hawk Hovering
Hawk hovering
scanning
Their eyes everywhere
Yet attacks on easy prey
fading as days become
short & sinister dark
Creatures of knowledge
know to hold the higher
ground
Digging in deep
waiting out it's cold front
& watchful gaze to sweep past

Whilome
A fable of old to fascinate and tease,
worthy of Chaucer when at his best.
With a fickle Princess in finery and pride,
with a favour seeking Prince fugitive to love.
Frost of her heart flood of his woes.
Furrow your brows, France is where it starts ...
worthy of Chaucer when at his best.
With a fickle Princess in finery and pride,
with a favour seeking Prince fugitive to love.
Frost of her heart flood of his woes.
Furrow your brows, France is where it starts ...

AUTUMN/FALL COMES - NUDIST'S LAMENT
The leaves are falling off the bushes,
There'll be none left to hide blushes
As we walk, hands on middle crossed,
To salvage the dignity lost.
When it gets icy and slipping,
It's too cold for skinny dipping.
Frost at extremities gets nipping,
Ambles are turned to skinny skipping.
Our summer tans will fade away,
Leaving our skins a fleshy grey
Unless we've cash to fly away
Where tropic suns still heat the day.
There'll be none left to hide blushes
As we walk, hands on middle crossed,
To salvage the dignity lost.
When it gets icy and slipping,
It's too cold for skinny dipping.
Frost at extremities gets nipping,
Ambles are turned to skinny skipping.
Our summer tans will fade away,
Leaving our skins a fleshy grey
Unless we've cash to fly away
Where tropic suns still heat the day.

Mentality
Am I all that you perceive
Or am I simply a charlatan out to deceive
Three hundred and sixty degrees is what it takes to please
The creature of the disease called, "Supremacy"
Having been bound and chained
Forced to travel the plains
Accepting the rules of your domain
For I am not the same
Able to bear any burden, endure any pain
Toeing the line between madness and sane
I realize it has to be, this is my destiny
I must suffer to fulfill the prophecy
Standing in the midst of the rift
letting my mental drift ...
Or am I simply a charlatan out to deceive

Monday Night Ritual
I thirst for facets and dimension in every drop of sentence medicine
Speaking indiscreet is the canary in the coalmine
Vote with your feet to carry and hold the line
I'm done with backsliding, pity isn't kindness, too much credit for the mindless
Unwinding the narrative on what blinds my mix
Pounding in a few dozen extra articles to round out my time
Sounds spin out where the unexpected related bits stir new thought-form vibrations,
Bubbles come into tune and disperse, like a Quantum Seafoam Universe
...

Gentle Winds
Come along gentle winds
watch the flowers and grass sway,
see the happy clouds moving
through the hours of the day.
Blowing from day to night
through the trees you turn,
carrying a child's laughter
as he flies his toy kite.
Over fields of green and gold
travelling the world over,
and coming home again
never tiring, never growing old.
we want you to stay
but you must go,
along as you go
whistling as you play.
watch the flowers and grass sway,
see the happy clouds moving
through the hours of the day.
Blowing from day to night
through the trees you turn,
carrying a child's laughter
as he flies his toy kite.
Over fields of green and gold
travelling the world over,
and coming home again
never tiring, never growing old.
we want you to stay
but you must go,
along as you go
whistling as you play.

Rooster Coupling with Train
The rooster courts the Empire Builder
They are flying floating naked
Echoing up Yaksum Canyon and bouncing back again
Shimmering mourning petal punctuated notes
Dispersing sweetness, rosy ringing animation
A spectacle turning every sleepbound ear
His strutting praise studs her mournful dew
So full of want it half wakes each of us
Dogs whimper, paws twitch fast
Horses whicker, greying glowing embers shift and drop
Shameless intertwined exploring, rising in the valley air
We...

A Poetry Medic's Dream (for the Poetic Medic #2 Comp)
Night kingdoms,
Grappling, between dark and light
fire breathing birds by the dozen,
moths of doom, small luminous insects
floated on river water thoughts as
stars among darkness;
if white, all so perfect.
pockets full with earth seeds
arranging times: Stone lichens
their skirts tenderly vanished
branches, trees work around me
at least remembered:
took her back before
I fell into a morning thought
something in my bed: who?
if Rose had slept
She heard nothing
but
they never do
Grappling, between dark and light
fire breathing birds by the dozen,
moths of doom, small luminous insects
floated on river water thoughts as
stars among darkness;
if white, all so perfect.
pockets full with earth seeds
arranging times: Stone lichens
their skirts tenderly vanished
branches, trees work around me
at least remembered:
took her back before
I fell into a morning thought
something in my bed: who?

nowhere...
there's so many directions to take
so many roads
yet
we choose to place footprints
over yesterday’s footprints
so many roads
yet
we choose to place footprints
over yesterday’s footprints
