Best Alouette Poems

Gardens at Keukenhoff (Alouette)

As the tulips rise
With their sweet surprise
Fragrance permeates the air
Colors cover land
From God's divine hand
In these gardens we all share.

Such astounding views
Come enjoy the hues
As varied blossoms cascade.
Seek a bench to gaze
At the mirror maze
With lush tulips on parade.

Another lame duck
That ran out of luck
Encountered financial loss
A failure at work
Now seen as a jerk
He happens to be the boss!

Employees revolt
His feathers will moult
His dignity has been plucked
He needs a new perk
Lost wife then his work
In more than one way he’s f***ed.

Watch the birds in flight
As they soar from sight
Over verdant canopies,
With their nests below
Tiny feathers grow
On their fledglings in the trees.

Hungry mouths to feed
With the gathered seed
Found upon the dewy sod,
Which the skylark brings.
Afterward she sings
Her sweet gift of song to God.

AN AURORA ALOUETTE - RAIN DOGS

the morning dewdrops
the sap on the trees
the wind blowing pleasingly
a stroll I will take
a joyous promenade
with my umbrella and cane.

rain oh rain will show
dawn is to enjoy.
gloomy not, away I go
pouring cats and dogs.
glumly aurora
dulcetly I sing “Rain Dogs.”

Stone better than gold
        One that can`t be sold
Crystals that shine more than stars
        Men behold thy face
       with rays full of grace
Fresh pretty skin...

Watch the sun appear
On this Solstice clear
Over Stonehenge monoliths.
Sing the sacred song
Honoring the throng
Of the ancient spirit’s gifts.

Let the sun stand still
As we feel the thrill
Of Midsummer’s energy.
Summer has begun
Now our hearts are one
As we mark in harmony

Power of the sun
That our Solstice's spun,
We gather...

Feel the autumn breeze
Rustle through the trees.
View how painted leaves abound.
Watch the dappled sun
Play on every one
As they drift toward the ground.

See the harvest moon
Say good-bye too soon
As the colors fade away.
Let yourself be lost
In the lacey frost
While in mounds of leaves kids play.

September is here
With skies bright and clear.
Summer birds will be southbound.
Cooler breezes near.
School football we cheer.
The young quarterback is downed.

Parents go berserk,
Call player a jerk
For manhandling their loved son.
The ref's not a shirk,
Is good at his work,
Says no infraction was done....

My Lark, whom I plucked in the Dark

Alouette, gentille alouette
Aloutte, je te plumerai

Alouette(a) we are all a wetta
Alouette(a) I will pluck you dry

Pluck you dry, pluck you dry
Ben oui,  mais ben oui,  lets look to the sky

Alouette(a), gently let me caress you
Alouette(a), these...

Crocus bow your heads
As you rise from beds
From your sleep beneath the ground.
Tulips where are you?
Please don't leave me blue,
Sunny daffodils abound!

I am seeking spring
Seen in everything
As cold winter melts away.
Trees soon come alive,
Little buds survive
And they bloom in bright display.

Then with sweet surprise
Beauty fills...

RICH HARVEST,  LONG WINTER  - ALOUETTE



Summer’s green near shut  -
Held ajar by glut. 
Overgenerous rewards
On the groaning ground  -
Spilling o’er with round,
Bursting butter-beans in gourds.

Now is winter’s brown  -
The piled logs run down.
Drifting dead, the months prolong,
Freeze all thought of...

Cleansing of body and mind- the Indian Way- An Alouette



For any Hindu

Bathing in Sindhu

Or Ganga thought to be pure

On fetes, on deaths

Tilak on foreheads

To meditate for mind’s cure





Indian Brahmins

In temple domains

Recite mantras while bathing

Then a marjanam 

Followed by japam

Trikal Sandhya with chanting



============================

Mom you're so lovely!
Like my lil’ bunny!
Your arms are fluffy and soft;
Want to hold you more;
Makes me feel secure;
With your hands all of me oft,

Mom you're so cuddly!
Want you beside me!
Wake me up a lil’ later;
Miss you so by then;
Like I miss you when
My eyes...

longer than Haikus
this the form i use
till my inspiration gone
five five and seven
in lyric heaven
my pen just writes on and on.

like treasures of gold
my words in heart hold
a wealth of thought and feeling
spill out upon page
enhanced through the age
this my way of self-healing.

WORDS - ALOUETTE

Nightmares in my skin;
Scourging deep within.
Blood and bones sizzling abreast...
Aged tired nerves plead
from words carving bleed
to screams of cruel arrest.

Head like tomb stillness
chaining rock stiffness.
Iron hurt span rumbling din.
To endure, my gong,
stopping a torch song.
Hence, be far in any sin.
