Poems About the Countryside Seeking Honest Critique

upon a country walk
there was a note on
the gate which lead into the
field. it said “please close
the gate.” it being
already shut, it left me
somewhat unfulfilled ..

song of the villagers
music festivals are alright
in their way, but
I live here and they’re generally
in mine, okay?

Move Along Folks
Invisible.
Nothing
to see.
Standing there
patiently,
waiting on
visibility or
at least a little
transparency.

FLOWERS / SOURGRASS
Beauty queen farmer
Aristocratic nose
Hands in the dirt
Fingering what grows
Velvet buds of hounds tongue
Let them open up
Pour the taste of cucumber
Into your glassy cup
And there’s calochortus tolmiei
Known as pussy’s ears
White and purple fur display
The morning dew like tears
Speaking of that’s what you’ll cry
From biting this one’s neck
A prickly and bracing spurt
Sourgrass- what the heck?!

ECONO CLASS AGAIN (12-4-2001, somewhere in the air over Maryland)
above this sea
of clouds
upon these silver
wings
eating salted
peanuts
at thirty thousand
feet
gazing out my
tiny little
oval window
like some soaring
sky god
looking down
at earth below
in awe
of what i
see
so high above
it all
transfixed within
its passing daydreams
hypnotic fleeting
view
until i suddenly
recall
the true nature
of my present
lofty domain
and ascended
sense of higher
being
as not...

marriages...of bramble, beetle eggs and tortoise shells
pour clary
tea
into saltpots
esther
I am in sin
all ghosts
lay in my glasses
their library breathes heavy
they refuse
to face the open window
the lie didn't work
it was a poor
and malconceived plan
I had been recognized
within a crowd
in some text
the flavor of a meal
in ways the broads
of a bramble breaks ...

country roads
There are songs that come free from the blue-eyed grass, from the dust of a
thousand country roads. This is one of them.” —Robert James Waller
Christ!
the city is killing me!
her walls are fingers
at my throat,
like the gloat
of vile harbingers—
daily die i to be free.
heist
mobs
hem me in on every side,
police sirening
through the night,
peace in flight,
wild children screaming
where they yesterday would ride.
sobs
blend
into every living pulse ...

Moorland Solitude
The spongy earth springs underfoot
Concealing all below;
You mind your way,
This eerie day,
You're careful how you go.
As mists roll off the craggy moss
Concealing all above;
You find your way,
This eerie day,
About a place you love.
A speck of rain anoints your head
Concealing thoughts inside;
You see your way,
This eerie day,
To let your qualms, subside.
The heather forms a carpet here
Concealing peril's traits;
You pick your way,
This eerie day,
Where a quaggy...

Blood of galaxies
So let's hold hands
Walk down the trail
To see the trees stretching high
Higher it seems than the sky
Piercing the heavens they go
If only we could follow
Your hand in mine
Your eyes and my eyes
Staring up as we do together
We will see the heavens drip
Down the branches that pierce it
Reaching out to taste the galaxies
The blood of heaven on our mouths
We've doomed ourselves
By simply knowing it's taste
Inescapable that knowledge
It's like knowing exactly enough
And never learning another thing
All is...

A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET
If you could would you be truly able to come with me as we enjoy the fresh air, that filters through our lungs like a sweet summer breeze, that softly caressing our skin as the winds whisper tenderly in our ears. Sending us subliminal messages that only we two can hear. If you could would you come with me as we float out to sea feeling, the ripples beneath the surface of our feet as each soft wave slowly guide us on a subconscious journey. As we watch the golden sunrise off into the distance, as we watch the birds in flight dancing upon the very winds of time. If you could would you be...
