Best Catches Poems

Tall, gray, trees stand together like statues
Across the winter’s landscape of hills
Some snow still clings to the arms of branches
Reaching wide, reaching far and wide!
Today, there is no wind in this still life view
Of land, rocks, and trees to dark blue mountains
A strip of pale...

As the light catches the leaf
twisting  in descent
so it does on occasion
illumine sharp in motion
some fragment shed
from an insight flourishing
too peripheral to draw
sustenance from the root
and so condemned to decay
yet by crimson or saffron seeming
to contradict the process of corruption
become by drifting
beyond wisdom’s influence
beautiful

It was a huge celebration of friends on the Fourth of July
There was Tammy with beautiful hair and those dark tanned legs

What first catches my eye
Is a word…or a phrase
That exerts a pull realized
Upon entering a maze
An air of adventure
That’s what it’s about
Where will this word lead you

It’s only the start
The essential beginning
Yet only a part
As...

Beating the master gardener by a few minutes or steps
Ruffled marigold seeds were waiting to be planted in seedling trays
It was March the fifteenth, an opportune time to get things started

It eventually lets go of the catch,
Not knowing what to do.
Likewise, when my enemy catches me at it,
I had it!
But if ever, by chance,
I catch my enemy at it,
I would end up...

Working online today,
his focus drawn away.
To risque sites he stray.

Lured to ads on the side.
Temptation from worldwide.
Delete! He tries to hide.

And then he thinks he’s free
from images he see.
Aha -  he cannot flee.

His history begin

On record he's staying....

Time catches up with us 
When we think we can outrun it.
We inevitably slow down,
But time presses on steadily, [and]
Before we know it, we’re entrapped
In the web of our consequences,
And all the things we thought
Wouldn’t, really did matter.

Time catches up with us,
So much older and...

in that particular time in moment
was made totally unique

took inspiration
from the work area, on the background
where he attempts writing

disvalued methods

and you carry on
Recruited by the devil
he doesn't know I'm taking over
never to see the fake of God
for what revenge I'd make
for all of us that gazed upon
a cloud
knows there very little the air...
