Residual Joy
Did you ever have one of those magical nights
When everything clicks into place?
When the stars are aligned and your mood is defined
By a flood of support to embrace?

Surrounded by loved ones and showered with warmth,
The smiles seem to sprout with no end.
You’re super aware that...

squirrels glean the meaty spoils

Residual
wafting through the rafters
or through the cracked door window
it is sent ashamedly 
yet at the show last night
they passed it freely
like conversation
and better than
a simple
handshake
the music was mellow
the lavatories scarce and
the beers and hot dogs
plenty

it helps to flow
relax and perhaps
make lovely lapses of
thought
judgment
time and bide
such...

Mournful, Residual Toll
Lamp shade shrouds my blanched soul
Dimming, residual light o'er weary heart doth roll
Flickering memories cloud my intellectual pole
Obscure shadows flutter through subconscious pinhole
Dusk, fading hope through my restive spirit doth stroll
Encroaching darkness shutters my resolve; my psyche doth patrol
Murky thoughts leaf through my sensory scroll
Shimmering...

Residual Affects
Residual Affects

There are effects that became residual;
For some could never be conventional,
And from day to day do vary and vary,
As cows diligently give milk in a dairy;
Hopefully environment is conditional.

Condition of environment is cause
of many things that are created.

Rabbit Residual
Who did plod through the fresh laid sod
What plunderous rogue could be so treacherous
When did the fresh, bright mane garner brackish stain
Where did the stealthy herbivore dump digested core
Why did that silly hare his gastronomical fare share...

Residual Jiggles
I
Reduced to nothing
But not absolute Zero
I have residual energy
And nothing is not nothing
It has something, always
And we can get something out of nothing

II
The quantum world tells us truths
About nothing: if I am as a quantum vacuum
I have residual Jiggles
So let your jiggles jangle
The Universe decreed...

Residual and Conventional
Residual, Conventional and Hysterical 

This should be a real change. Is anyone
else out there game besides me? Here
goes again.

The effects could start out conventional;
What they ended being were residual;
What I would find most appalling?
Is for the temptation I was falling;
Hemorrhoids said to not be hysterical.

Residual Love
Lingering glance more than circumstance,
Endearing gesture not mere chance.
Corresponding smile engenders romance;
Suggestive movements invite dalliance.
 
An enticing scent that permeates,
An enchanting voice that resonates,
An alluring personality that levitates,
A tender feeling that stimulates....

Crow's Residual
Spring's christening morn, they sow each, leased field
You squawk at their noisy machines, fabricated skill
In due time, green shoots sprout; twined destinies distilled
Awaiting Harvest moon's celestial seal
You ready your nettled till; contraband to fill
Before hoary frost can shower its blighting chill
Mechanized hands garnish nature's wage;...

Spring's Stormy Residual
Swirling wisps mount the horizon
Cresting over their funnel spouts
Steaming ground-swells incubate on earth's oven 
Thermal currents surge upward through the convector
Cooling reams ballast the sides descending the shaft
Energizing columns fueling the expanding balloon
Cooling and condensing into droplets of dew sublime
Pairing together in cacophonous chorus ascending briny...

More Than Residual
a potent indication
of residual energy
slowly taking possession
of my sanity
         I feel it manipulate
         each experience
         toying with my fate
  ...
