Ode to a Journalist
...You made up your mind to view the world
With different eyes —eyes recessed, eyes inundated with lustre,
Straining to catch every flight of the dancing seasons that hurled
Man and beast...

The cottage with its black window frames and white pebble dash glows in the

lost Night
...Surrounded by gold Lustre
Old Clock chiming

Nights Infusion

Pharaohs joke was here
Denim clad oxymorons

Archways lean close

Talk To Me of Daybreak

Of questing light
The sky
Salted with clouds
crimson with a spectrum of a rainbow at dawn

I witnessed three rainbow archways.
Framed by sun-kissed red apartments,
The setting sun kisses goodbye to the cloudless sky.

The One-Eyed King
...The death knell, ringing requiem bell,
a saddening sound,
archways they pass, tears flood the mass,
deep and deathly profound.
Of what we know, strange seeds we sow,
returning to us with a taun...

he feels like an island in a lake,
a deep lake glistening in lithesome ripples.
His cranky old face sees an illuminated white lotus,

Those yummy spicy Windmills, I say,
So good spread with soft cream cheese,
To keep myself if you please.
Got in my clunker to head down the road,
