summer's kiss
the lilting sun sang of summertime
when in full array
the flowers in tune
did dance for their God
now sleepy in the garden
his warming rays too far away to wake them
they one by one closed their petals
and prepare for winter's Odyssey
as frost took over the land
all nature protested the end to summer's gayety
alas with a kiss and a promise
the sun sank behind the horizon
to rise again the following season
when in full array
the flowers in tune
did dance for their God
now sleepy in the garden
his warming rays too far away to wake them
they one by one closed their petals
and prepare for winter's Odyssey
as frost took over the land
all nature protested the end to summer's gayety
alas with a kiss and a promise
the sun sank behind the horizon
to rise again the following season

Three Limericks from Poet-Land
Compulsive
The poet was up in the night
compelled like a madman to write
and when he had finished
he lay down and grimaced
“well such is the poet’s delight”.
Almost
The poem was suitably long
with language both clever and strong
it told a great story
which flowed pulsatory
until the last stanza went wrung.
Poetics
Poetic devices when blundered
make poems seem painting-by-numbers
original taste
is skewered, disgraced
and thunder of wonder is plundered.

Sweet, May She Be
May she always come to you as vivid as a dream; nearly so, that you almost cry Bringing forth a rattle within your bones; stirring and shaking you so
Blessed be her voice; hovering about you as if clouds over treetops high
Ever should you be a ship lost at sea; she - your anchor from a wretched undertow
May you feel ever so wondrous - as if being at the summit of the greatest mountain Cherish and nourish her so; as she brings the scribbling thoughts...
Blessed be her voice; hovering about you as if clouds over treetops high
Ever should you be a ship lost at sea; she - your anchor from a wretched undertow

Life, is a process of making mistakes.
If you're not making mistakes, you're not learning, and if you're not learning, you're not evolving.
Nothing, is ever easy.
If you want something, you have to earn it.
That applies to respect, trust, friendship and love too.
The age of entitlement is over, and if you're not willing to walk through the moments in life that are going to burn you with fire, then you'll never know your true capacity, or inner strength, to get you to the other side.

Coddiwomple ( after Theodor [Dr] Seuss Geisel )
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
Despite what you don’t know!
Don't worry now -
it's impossible to lose!
Hello! Hello!
It’s time to go – don’t doubt yourself!
Jump right up and step on out!
You may not know
which road to trust - but
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
You’re Coddiwomple-confused!
Being so little so long!
But time has come to choose!
Is “Right” the greater arrow?
Or “Left” the lesser narrow?!
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
Hello! Hello!
This is...
Despite what you don’t know!
Don't worry now -
it's impossible to lose!

She Drips Words
She drips her words like rain and aching cunts,
Her meter perfect, porn; she paints her art.
She's high class, mind of a geisha, She Wolf; hunts,
The detailed devils work in angel's heart.
A sonnet is her chosen poem form,
With words that coax the mind to sultry bliss.
I think of her wrists bound and panties torn,
Imagine strokes of tongue in stolen kiss.
A lover of the arts and sex, with words,
Each line she writes is perfectly controlled,
A banquet of delight like flight of birds,
She wraps her rhyme o'er peaks and folds. ...
Her meter perfect, porn; she paints her art.

Imagine strokes of tongue in stolen kiss.

A banquet of delight like flight of birds,
She wraps her rhyme o'er peaks and folds. ...

Marathon In The Morning
I never knew I possessed it until I became a serious marathon runner.
The things one must do to win in this game we call life, in regards from a marathon runner’s point of view.
Treadmill duration lasting for over an hour, sometimes, maybe two, spinning classes, monthly colon cleanses, 1500 caloric intake, increase protein intake, watch carb intake, no starches. No sweets, thank goodness I’m a vegetarian.
When you see all those entries runners’ bibs plastered to their backs, their shorts,...

St. Paddy Laddy
A young lad from Napa Valley
Drank to much on St. Paddy's
Waking the next day
Much to his dismay
He'd married Sasquatch Sally

Storms and Rain
Even as gray clouds form
covering the sky once blue
and hiding the world away,
the darkness shall not tarnish
or take any moments away.
Even in the middle
of such a lasting storm
beauty can always be found,
we watch the tiny raindrops
gently play on the ground.
Mother nature shares her plan
we can look and find
even a storm provides a need,
bright flowers begin to bloom
where once were waiting tiny seeds.
