Abuzz Poems

In the intimate interlace of chance and fate, in the ultimate interplay of time and place, and with the consummate checkmate of my human dignity, all that is -- is over, in the stormy, swarming space of mere moments.

Days are longer, the Jays are warming up
Two months to go, baseball will start doing its stuff
Go Blue Jays Go
Win the big show
We're rooting for you, this year will be abuzz

How could that possibly be so confusing
Intentionally unintentional which...Read More

A gust of wind with a chill on its tail
 rushes through the trees in gray and pale,
high up in the naked branch
 tiny spectral lights begin to twinkle and dance;
a shiver and a blink ties us to hazy unseen...Read More

November first two thousand nineteen...
abuzz with Autumnal thrum

Divine myriad biota amidst
heavenly Lily of the valley
(Convallaria majalis),
he didst imaginatively greet
Edenic heavenly terra
incognita immeasurably sweet

Gaia's quintessential orchestration
resplendent sensational treat
natural splendour regaling,
this fellow wayfarer
happenstance gifted autochthonous peoples

espied proud specimens unobtrusive
planted armada,...Read More

With Me, Bella and Jess 
And Mummy is all delight

Dress, Dad had bought
She looks...Read More

In my nocturnal connection I live between two worlds 
the one that is past and the one that has just begun

In a tiara and wings
Zigging
Zagging
Bounding with being
I am a queen
Doing that little dance
That tells you
Everywhere I've been
Abloom
Abuzz
Bathing in
The pollen of play
Lapping up life
Nectaring
Dripping
Coiling to spring

You wouldn't know it
By looking at me
But I can fly!

And then comes the sting

Pollination’s lush ballet
Find your Zen with gentle glances

Grand jetés in jaundiced sway 
Be still...a garden dances

Succulent as new romance is
Nectar sweet - a frail buffet  
Find your Zen with gentle...Read More

I live on Bella Boulevard.
Some call it “Singles Street.”
For residents, life can be hard,
and many long to meet
someone. They wish to be discreet.
These ladies will be caught off-guard,
their faith in men so sorely marred,
their equilibrium j—jarred
by one with tongue so...Read More

They will follow ur trail

Sol struggles to break through curtains of rain
as sporadic shafts of light pierce the gloom.
His determination is not in vain
as warm beams simulate flowers to bloom
and parade before Him in full costume.

Droplets glisten in the light like jewels
offsetting the dreariness...Read More

Barbarously mine

Broken enough 
It hurts, it does.
Fearing no repairs,
Not making it abuzz.
Got a control over me,
In ways that can’t be explained.
Take a shot at it,
I’ve got nomore to be lost and nomore to be gained.

Even today your name sends a...Read More

Soon it will be 2019,
As Santa Claus glides in
On his reindeer chariot
Millions of souls rejoice 
All around the world.
The year 2018, still holding 
Onto the world, in its embrace,
Has sounded its bugle of retreat
Sober and serene,
As if to atone silently
For...Read More

Mushroom village, population thirty-five.
Was perfect until Faerie Marie had quints.
Six happy faerie midwives flitted toward the hive.
They gobbled down all of Billy Faerie’s chocolate mints.

Mama Brownie went into labor an hour later.
Two of the midwives left the other four in...Read More

The bandits jolted as slugs struck home hard,
only one was able to shoot back,
Meredith’s horse reared, and tossed her off,
she slammed to the ground and lay flat.

The thugs slumped lowed and slipped right off their mounts,
all but one of them...Read More

Hollywood abuzz over each toss of her lace...

Birds are chirping praise to the sun
whose rays fuel the leaves on the trees
and keep the air abuzz with bees

In its spat with spring...summer won
ushering in sweltering heat
while peonies bloom smelling so sweet
