Loss
What have I seen?
not actually sure
a losing team
there isn’t a cure
batters could not hit
pitcher let up many runs
balls popping out of mitts
fans annoyed; this was no fun
no hope for them
fans have gone away
behind by 10
maybe some other day
fans today were shedding tears
future days bring applause & cheers

Ode to Grey Skies
A Sonnet
I write to thee oh beautiful grey skies
Thou has blessed us with plenty of fine rain
Thine sight might be a pain to some sore eyes
Thus I pen this ode but not to complain
Every day thy clouds look a bit scary
Another storm forms filling us with dread
Local news makes us weary and wary
As downpours and floods are surging ahead
So I ask thee oh beautiful grey skies
Please listen to my pleas and humble rhyme
The drawn-out drought has come to a demise
We prayed for rain but not all at the same time
...

The Miller's Tale ( Pushkin Sonnet )
Young housewives—dark thrills inspire them;
but, when pressed for action doth feign
virtue against a parish man,
while bedding a more nobler Cane.
Ye husbands! heed this chronicle!
When deceit doth snake full circle
seeking to utterly deceive,
truth can be too hard to believe.
The poor husband, an innocent,
reputable among town folk,
unwittingly becomes a joke
in the sinner's moral dissent!
The husband prays for a godsend;
The parishioner! He's a...

Twilight Furrows
Twilight Furrows
The evenin' stretchs out somber shadows
Snaking slowly, across the deep furrows
And the far distance holds a fainting glow
It's time then, for a regretful adieu ........!
Between the pines, walking the outworn lane
An endless path, watching a sun that wanes
Among fiery mist, and a blinking ray,
A path, that holds remains of yesterday
Burnt umber land, turned at december's throes
Lonely sparrow and a pack of black crows
A whole year flew by, the idles lands lie
Yet, no time when...
The evenin' stretchs out somber shadows
Snaking slowly, across the deep furrows
And the far distance holds a fainting glow
It's time then, for a regretful adieu ........!
Between the pines, walking the outworn lane
An endless path, watching a sun that wanes
Among fiery mist, and a blinking ray,
A path, that holds remains of yesterday
Burnt umber land, turned at december's throes

A whole year flew by, the idles lands lie

Awakening
Finding myself in the fire, I seethe.
Roasting under the breath of your harsh words.
You are suppressing me; I cannot breathe.
Smoke fills my lungs, my deliverance slurred.
Long gone is the compassion I once felt.
I have been left here with horror and fear.
Asking for assistance, I remain knelt.
Can my voice carry any favor here?
Like the phoenix, I rise from the ashes!
Demanding that you look into my eyes
as my talons engrave you with gashes.
I free myself from your prison of lies!
Spanning my wings, floating...
Roasting under the breath of your harsh words.
You are suppressing me; I cannot breathe.
Smoke fills my lungs, my deliverance slurred.
Long gone is the compassion I once felt.
I have been left here with horror and fear.
Asking for assistance, I remain knelt.
Can my voice carry any favor here?
Like the phoenix, I rise from the ashes!
Demanding that you look into my eyes
as my talons engrave you with gashes.
I free myself from your prison of lies!
Spanning my wings, floating...

So not
I am going to tell you what love is not.
All stars in the sky your eyes can see.
All salt left after drying the dead sea.
Stone hiding in the flesh of an apricot.
Love's not the echo of a far gun shot.
Is not a meal where all is gluten free.
Autumnal flapping wings all over me.
Not giving away all things you've got.
Is not having dreams took by assault.
Wich bird sings in the glory mornings.
What started fight of thunder and bolt.
love's not count pace of heart beating.
The break in your heart is not my fault. ...

Anew
Cast before oceans countenance
I lay upon grit and grain
O'r flesh, tides pull in transcendence
As waters of brine balm my souls distain
Serenade me , sweet singing azure
Blessed is your eternal roaring sound
Your currents soothe as they shatter shore
To heavens, my gracious praise resounds
Your essence gently cleanses as it quells
As your flow will surge on infinitely
May your peace, within me, forever dwell
Laid anew on sands of tranquility
Under curtains of blue skies, soul shall rise
Healed by oceans...

Spring Clean
Spring is in the air and for sure it works
I'm busy with dusters and suchlike stuff,
this sap's rising and for once I'll not shirk
in shaking the house free of dust and fluff.
And the cobwebby clutter of my mind
blown clean with wide open window of eyes,
my melatonin induced sleep, seemed kind
during cold nights, till I woke to spring's highs...
And, NaPoWriMo Twenty-Twenty-Four,
proving their dedication to their art,
with new poetical subjects galore,
as I, again think, next year, I'll take part... ...

Sonnet Nr.03 — Tragedy in Gaza
In the Gaza Extermination Zone
unacceptable by any measure
the dogged pursuit of Hamas erasure
kills civilians in and out of their homes;
as buildings collapse, hear the crunch of bones
relentless missiles fired with a leisure
that clock religious measure-for-treasure
dating back to fantasy chromosomes
Strange, Palestinians too are Semitic
Jewish-Arab brotherhood rejected
extremists in charge, apocalyptic,
fellow humans march for peace, suspected
meanwhile,...

Take You Home (Scottish Sonnet)
The days, so dreary and dark.
The hours, desolate and stark
Like the first days of winter.
All the minutes have splintered
And broke apart like fractured
Sunlight. There is manufactured
Love and happiness to make
The world happy, but one takes
It away. The real smile is there
Between the cracks and I swear
One day that the world will be
Happy again. One day the sea
Takes you home after long days.
There you will feel sunshine rays.
The hours, desolate and stark
Like the first days of winter.
All the minutes have splintered
And broke apart like fractured
Sunlight. There is manufactured
Love and happiness to make
The world happy, but one takes
It away. The real smile is there
Between the cracks and I swear
One day that the world will be
Happy again. One day the sea
Takes you home after long days.
There you will feel sunshine rays.

Frostbitten
Awoke, amid my heart, found frosting quick
Unknowing as to when I fell asleep
From winter solstice ice chill gathered thick
Supine among the alpines, eyelids creep
With crystalline-based breathless pleas to Him
As liquid past reminds to me old love
But changing winds bring forth, behind a scrim
A thawing sun, ignites to sky above
And spring brings blood red warmth to this dead heart
Lost love recalls in present veins to flow
Abundance melts steel future to depart
Into the past and fade away as snow
Just as the Winter's grip gives...
Unknowing as to when I fell asleep
From winter solstice ice chill gathered thick
Supine among the alpines, eyelids creep
With crystalline-based breathless pleas to Him
As liquid past reminds to me old love
But changing winds bring forth, behind a scrim
A thawing sun, ignites to sky above
And spring brings blood red warmth to this dead heart
Lost love recalls in present veins to flow
Abundance melts steel future to depart
Into the past and fade away as snow
