Fable of the Night
O, my angel, how smitten are yearnings of lonely night!
Will lover’s fantasy enchant, dream of this dreary night?
Though alluring is its rhythm, are you aware my sweet love,
Forlorn is the song, vying favor of this sullen night?
Glance of seduction, glamor of opulence, express doubt:
Can an...

The Fable of the Fox and GooseThere once was a fox, as wise as can be,
He lived in the hollow of an old oak tree.
Not so very far from an ol’ Farmer’s Farm;
A farmer he knew would do him great harm.
Also, on that farm lived a lively...

Chicken Little's Sad Demise - Fable(7/5 Trochee Poem)
Chicken Little, thinking that
sky was soon to fall,
saw a mortuary and
crawled beneath a pall.
He was in a strange dark box
where a dead man lay.
Then before he knew it, they
hauled that box away!
He was moved, but that poor bird

Fable of Felicity
In the orchard of opalescence
magnificent myriads of mellows
fervently flow in fountains
breathing beguile blossoms
a forgotten fable ferments,
in haunting hollows I hear.
My heart is a restless garden
with varying pulses of penumbra
conflicts caressing cuddles
tenacious tattered thorns
singing to sumptuous serenades
where brisking bubbles burst
butterflies spread beautiful wings
bees buzzing like ballerinas
to...

Seeing her son’s smile fade and his face turn to bother,
A question she made, then asked, as his loving Mother.

Fable of the FallOnce casting violent rays
The setting sun will fall
Among the depth of the haze
The darkness will swallow all
Inside a deep vast cave
A new hero will rise
The princess he will save
And bring darkness to demise
But he faces many troubles
Along his dreary path
The danger on earth just doubles
Will...

This Is No FableI was relaxing in my sunroom, one very peaceful afternoon,
Enjoying the fables of Aesop, and all the flowers abloom.
The view from the many windows, was gold sunshiny delight,
With blossoms and rich greenery, and many birds in flight.
Every now and then I chuckled, at comical characters...

But the rabbit came in second place
So the notion that speed
Makes the win guaranteed
Just isn't always the case....

your fate may be sealed”

hovering o’er my garden blooms while searching for...
