Rhythm of the Ocean
Ocean in constant motion.
Sparkling waves, disordered and
Emanating from random directions,
Crash against rock faces with staggering force.
Glistening, dynamic, tremendous and strong;
So unpredictable.
Simmering cauldron, bubbling and glimmering,
A beautiful sight; close your eyes and you'll
Capture a moment, a vision, a frame;
Enduring image, yet static and still.
Consider the movement, the dynamism which drives
These momentary frames towards a peak, a new form,
And back again.
As multiple waves
Collide to...

Smaller Still
When you close your eyes here,
It's easy to imagine
Relentless waves washing the shore,
But it's really the wind
Rustling the evergreens
We drove north today;
Arrived just after midnight.
Their chocolate lab,
Old Diamond, greeted our sight
Pulled up to an '83 Glendette trailer,
1/8 of a mile behind the house,
5 hours north
Where blueberries grow
Fresh air gives the lungs a break,
And the stars here make me...

Rabbit Song
I smell that you
are chasing me with your eyes,
and I leave my scent behind
so that you may know the joy of
my leaping / if only for ignorance
of what a stone feels.
My only conquest
is to break the grasses down;
not to diminish them but
encourage them by chewing
their stalks to a pulp.
I eat what nobody wants
and leave their digested remains behind
in your overgrown pasture.
How do I survive;
this is how, and why --
I am light as air, I think,
and the ways of the world don't
collect...

Ohhhh You..... Little human, Youuuu....
..your obvious illicit opinion of me....
(.....shows vividly your view of me as an illiterate, illegitimate, improper taboo.
...A, "NO NO...."
....eyes are precise....
....when a soul has been Freed from the wools that the world tried to smother them with.
Yet an unofficial, unlicensed and interdicted opinion is taken as OUTSIDE THE LAW.
.....by this forbidden, verboten WILDCAT!

Hither and Thither
around and around and around the Sun
not Jupiter, Earth, not anyone -
the barycentre is the place,
around it unseen is where we all race
on and on and on until death
embraces us with our very last breath
in the spaces through which we are flying
twisting and turning as we are dying
electrons in currents flow in between
hither and thither in what we dream
as egos form to then disappear
re-emerging, it's as if we're
puffy white clouds on warm summer days
each personality merely a haze
of who we thought we...

Multi-faceted
Only in one direction,
the mountain waterfall rushes
It takes you to the world of oblivion,
Where dreams are like a masquerade
But he runs without stopping,
He is at the feet of the rugged mountains
Rocks twist ropes from him,
Appointing a sentence
The waterfall kisses the feet,
Pleasing the cold stone
He is looking for a way to her heart,
Because Love is so multi-faceted ...

Pleasing the cold stone
He is looking for a way to her heart,

The Found
Feathery dandelions in zephyrs
Pearline stream across the scene
Polemic dream prolific crossing
Traversing verse – No reversing
Wing span the width of self study
Radiant radius – Heart felt svelte
Displacing gold rays cast in vast
Vestiges in traces/faces of places
Singular as stellar daytime altar
Exalted – Exacted epoch trance
Entranced - As self taught solar
Soul of a heart of an art of a hole
Shadows cast in simulation speeds
Roots of weeds as the silence below
Winged insect takes flight on wings ...

mockingbird song
To kill a mockingbird is to destroy innocence—innocence
injured or ruined through contact with evil.
sincere, she sings her mocking song,
perched on a wayward branch;
songs that to other birds belong
she copyrights carte blanche.
orchestral suites of flutes and strings
and horns and piccolos:
the music this imposter...
injured or ruined through contact with evil.
sincere, she sings her mocking song,
perched on a wayward branch;
songs that to other birds belong
she copyrights carte blanche.
orchestral suites of flutes and strings
and horns and piccolos:

A Silly Haiku About Frogs
Frogs 🐸 hop on long legs
Lily pads distribute their weight
Or else, they will croak
