Premium Member Thank You For This Bounty, God
Thank you for this bounty, God
that you give to me
for grain that grows within the field
and fruit upon the tree
Thank you for the little seeds
that in the spring are sown
and with your gifts of sun and rain
have through the summer grown
Thank you for the farmers,...

A Mutiny On the Bounty
It was a sight that I could not forsee
Ambushed by my own men at morning hour
Hands tight with cord and naked from the waist
A mean air on the Bounty blew unkind
It was the troubled wind of mutiny
My men, whose morals all have been erased
Once officers,...

Premium Member Treasured Bounty
Inside the oceans current channelling energy begins 
combing deep sands awakening feelings soar high 

Within a deep fountain appearing dressed in liquid light 
brighter than the sun your brilliance shines straight through 

Crown of awareness to see into the heart 
where there is no in...

Premium Member Breathless Bounty
A dream once entered the hall leading 
to the stairway of enchanting dining room
one guest echoes rang out bells began chiming 
inside an echo to the soul dancing paradise golden sands speak

Blowing whispers silently upon a heartbeat calls 
footsteps your stage platform takes to dancing...

What of life’s bounty will long life ensure?
What value is purpose as life we endure?
Is it beauty, or talent, or money we need?
Is it fame or glory, or some secret creed?

From dawns early light ‘til twilight’s sunset,
Which way shall I travel, which is my best...

Matinee On the Bounty
BEYOND THE MILK OF HERA PAST THE HEAVEN'S VERTEBRAE
THE STARS BLINK GLEAMING SAGAS, IN THE DAWN THEY FADE AWAY
MY SHIP MAKES AN INCISION IN EVERY THING THEY SAY

THE SEA WEARS LIKE A SILKY DRESS THE BEAUTY OF THE NIGHT
AND NEVER DOES THE MOON APPEAR SO...

As I Gazed Awestruck, Thankful For Such Lush Bounty

    When you directed flames- my lust anticipated
    your red-lips brushed my cheek- I knew it was Fated.
    Will you seek those lover's days again as oft do...

NATURE’S BOUNTY

Blend of green and gold
Like a star-filled night
It’s God’s hand we hold
In awe of nature's nativity

The trees they sway
In a field of poppies
They dance all day
Amidst rustic hues

The lush turquoise-mint grass
Like the splendiferous sea
Wafting hymns of early mass
Blow through rich maple trees

A church chapel...

* When I was three years old *

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


My childhood ...

A tree full-to-overflowing
Branches weighty with fruit, blossoms
Each, a sweet memory of life ... family
Summers on the lake, winters in the mountains

The loving, teaching strength of Mom
Always nurturing, caring, molding the clay with precise intent
Guiding my brother...

A Bounty From Universe And Its Golden Bowl

Poets dream but reality wakes deep sorrows
world plots and schemes, as future holds our tomorrows
walking oft blinded to treachery and deceit,
setup and shocked, at world's wicked evil we meet,
many a pawn, in a world savage and quite mad

Harvest Bounty

Season of harvest, horn of plenty;
Tiller of soil reaping the fields:
Grains and legumes, hay and vegetables,
Fruits and plants, gourds and melons;
Filling silos, barns, pantries, and cellars.

Grapes abound, on vines climbing trellises;
And plump, red tomatoes dangle from stakes
While apples’ grapple, to keep from falling,
And livestock...
