Best Expanded Poems

She said concretize
and her vocabulary
Typified my desire
for words
amorously.
Then I came
across boondoggle
and thought
hell no, 
Not me
feed me every
word in your
dictionary
take me from
dilettante
to fait-accompli
Make me the greatest
of all time
if only in my mind
Her tongue
can use my mind
indiscriminately
to the point
of confessing
Ooo, I like that
and all manners
of Freudian slips

Timeless experience
Precognating vivid dreams
Choices reality

Awareness goes through
Vibrant colors and sparkling orbs
Mingle around one

Thoughts transcend afar
Amplifying energy 
Speed up creations

Foretell scenarios
Taking probable options
Obvious gratefulness

Breaking the barriers
Forbidden act to defy
Absolute freedom....

I cannot lie, I’m not that spry 
still angling is my game 
but never had luck with walleye
pickerel by Ontario's name.

We're windbound on Wasaksina
waiting for the west wind to wane
We're windbound on Wasaksina
with walleye all to blame.

Wasaksina Lake up Temagami way
has  a wicked western...

Does it mean we are friends if I mirror your thoughts,
That we like the same jokes or our politics sing
A conventional melody?

Does the ground shake (we stand on) when boundaries slip,
When emotional dams burst, magnetic fields flip
As convection cells drift and my South becomes North
Or...

Stars adrift on wicked laughter 
dance amidst these April nights. 
Fragile, pristine alabaster 
stars adrift on wicked laughter. 
Tumbling, twirling falling faster 
asterisms cool and white. 
Stars adrift on wicked laughter 
dance amidst these April nights. 

Buds bow down to frozen masters 
claiming spring as...

Pretty blossoms in the spring
“Bob” for them at Halloween

BBQ cooked with the wood
Sauce, butter, juice – also good

Red, yellow, green - take your pick
Dipped in caramel on a stick

Sweet, sour, tart- taste to savor
Raw, bake, fry – lots of flavor

Cake, muffins, fritters - to try
The...

upon the vast, vertical canvas;
footholds few and far between;
you're standing on a frail protrusion
face to the wall
staring
without encouragement
at one frozen frame

 i jumped 
and now i'm falling
i'm seeing the eternal flow
through only my eyes
but the image moves;
a silent bolt of lightning
so believe not the completion

Each cool summer breeze
Sets the stage for something hot
Like loves engagement

Fun in the sun crazed
Develops such great delight
Each bright new day’s hour
Enlightens freedoms desires
Each night awakening fires

Summer flows ever quickly
Like fleeting poetry lines
Memories linger longer
Forever expanded

I have dreamt of magnolia fields 
Glistening beneath summer clouds, 
Where childish fascination meets reality, 
And it is so much more. 

Aspirations clung to watermelon vines 
And filled the air with persuasive appeal. 
Yet, beyond these striking moments of clarity 
There is much more. 

So...

These words that pour out from thoughts.
Randomly without making patterns, at first.

OK. Sometimes making random patterns.
Spurting out and mixing like
Ingredients for a batter.

Swirls like nothing else.
Until cohesive in my mind.
Maybe not in yours.

Meaning in my...

The individual in the inexorable flow of time,
certain miracles of nature never be the same.
Patterns of needs and response are created,
touching the mysteries of natures integrity related.
Revealing the whole of which one is part,
integral completeness as time perspective art.
If you are born at night your...

Deep in meditation, I waited. 
Breathing slow, soft and deep; I waited. 
Then exploded on the inner screen 
Such an image of the Divine Matrix 
It took my breath away. 

There sat I, alone, yoga posed and silent
And from my glowing body spanned
A multitude of...
