Ancient Maiden Dream
Ancient Maiden Dream
Olive grove maiden
Serves an Italian smile
With hot tea lips
On a Mediterranean shore
Where ancient Roman waves
Lap the Sicilian sand
Her Pompeian eyes
Frescoed in colors of love
She reclines on pink boudoir pillows
Where an artist paints her complexion
In soft brushstrokes of Venus splendor
As finches perch on fig tree boughs
Outside her window
Until she harvests grapes
When the sky is painted
In the maiden blush
Of a ripening peach
As tides rush...
Olive grove maiden

In soft brushstrokes of Venus splendor
As finches perch on fig tree boughs
Outside her window
Until she harvests grapes
When the sky is painted
In the maiden blush
Of a ripening peach

The Pond Life MafIa
Ive always wondered
How anyone, or thing
Could be
"Pissed as a newt!"
Does this suggest
As i may digress
That newts
Have an alcohol problem?
Presumably reknowned
For getting inebriated!
Although "pissed" in other countries
Refers to being angry
Which is more disconcerting
As i now live in fear
Of gangs of angry intoxicated newts
Wandering the streets
Both pissed off, and pissed
Like pondlife mafia!

first warmth of spring
first
warmth
of spring,
sun
and blue
speaking
assured,
blazes
growing,
moments
amazed
and leaping
combinations
of colors
buffeted
with sweet
moods,
giving me
pleasure,
streaming
within
my gaze.

It's a wonderful life
As a comet burns bright
And streaks across the night sky
So goes life
Against the fabric of time
Blink and you might miss
This strange celestial star
As it burns itself out
Fragmented from friction
But those lucky enough
To see it's blazing glory
Will speak of the miracle
They were blessed to see
And I will also
Count myself fortunate
To witness this mysterious magic
In a cursed and weary world
And streaks across the night sky
So goes life
Against the fabric of time
Blink and you might miss
This strange celestial star
As it burns itself out
Fragmented from friction
But those lucky enough
To see it's blazing glory
Will speak of the miracle
They were blessed to see
And I will also
Count myself fortunate
To witness this mysterious magic
In a cursed and weary world

Not A Book Worm
I moved into my new place of residence today
A lovely old wooden framed dwelling
With its own library
(I may become a book worm once ive settled!)
I should mention, that i don't own this property
And if the owners knew i was here
They would literally resort to any means to get me out
Even resorting to having me killed
So i keep a very low profile
Thus have moved into the loft
Hidden amongst the big oaken beams
I think i'm in luck
As i'm the only woodworm in the house!

we make new names for old Gods
The evening sky blushes through my window
between twilight and darkness we lie, looking out
waiting for the stars through the
leafy silhouettes of palm tress
I try to teach you all the names
of the creeping constellations
but you make up your own
giggling into the deepening sky
We are so small under the burning tendrils of light
and so blessed to see them, and name them at all
between twilight and darkness we lie, looking out
waiting for the stars through the
leafy silhouettes of palm tress
I try to teach you all the names
of the creeping constellations
but you make up your own

and so blessed to see them, and name them at all

The Carbon Family Picnic
The Carbon Clan's
Autumn Harvest
Cornucopia
At Evergreen Meadow,
Chapter 1
The air shimmered with a crisp, autumnal chill. It was the eve of the harvest moon, a night of abundance and gratitude, when the sprawling Carbon Clan gathered in one place to celebrate the year's bounty. This year, the honor fell to Carbon-12, their steadfast patriarch, whose sprawling oak tree in Evergreen Meadow served as the clan's traditional gathering spot.
Carbon-12 surveyed the crowd with a warm, golden smile. His countless bonds had created a sprawling family,...

Periodic Table of Arguments
Oxygen, a fiery little redhead with a southern drawl, tapped her foot impatiently.
"Hydro, honey, you're fixin' to make a fool out of yourself. Carbon is obviously gonna choose me. We make water together, darlin'. Everybody needs water. It's the lifeblood of everything!"
Hydrogen, Oxygen's nervous little sister with a squeaky voice, wrung her hands.
"You're so bossy!" Whispering loudly. "So grabby! You hog all the electrons! I offer Carbon a nice, even share. Think of all the cool stuff we can build together – hydrocarbons, the...

Flow Slow
In nature's infatuation
as clouds flow slow
winsome the hours
as gladsome soft winds blow
melodies euphoric
whispering lightsome oboes
tending to the peace
of silence below
as clouds flow slow
winsome the hours
as gladsome soft winds blow
melodies euphoric
whispering lightsome oboes
tending to the peace

Shin-rin Yoku Too!
Sun bathing
One tends to get a nice tan
To much sun
One goes lobster!
Shin-rin Yoku (tree bathing)
I spent to long under the leaves
And turned green!
this experience
Left me feeling jaded!

Rainbows (Acrostic)
Rainbows arc across the sky
Are beautiful, wonderful, and noticeably shy
Instantly magical, and a little surreal
Now they come in the shape of half a wheel!
Because rainbows have been around since times of old
Of tales, at rainbows ende, lies a pot of gold
Wonderful arrayS of colours, that pirouette
So: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet

new sun
that
morning's
ember,
how it
jumps,
it flies
on the
edge of
rumors,
each
descending
into the
corners
of
my room,
scraping
the
darkness
away,
leaving
my world
smoldering
while the
sun's
bloom
moves on.
