Best Vista Poems

     her mind 
     a box of 
     melted crayons
     her hands 
     a vista of fire
     magic wands  ...

El amor a primera vista
No se define con los ojos. 
Se define con la química inexplicable 
Que toma control instantáneo
Sobre dos personas sin conocerse.

Ya sea física oh virtualmente, 
Esta emoción envuelve los sentidos de los individuos 
Obstruyendo la razón y en forzando determinación
Para ir contra...

Barco do Boa Vista 2 

Windswept, worn and weary sails
You might think that this boat ails
But with sound and sturdy, solid mast
She sails the ocean's waves at last

There was one here not long before her
But she sailed away to who knows where
Perhaps the Pirates thought...

a hint of orange
filled with flakes of creamy white
evening sky sings song...

A
change
of name-
rebranding
just gilds the lily....

It’s like an outlet for my emotion
Whether good or bad like a magic potion
Especially when they are all over the place
Like going around in a maze
Empty and confused
Until I read a poem, I feel infused
The visions a joy
The laughter all part of the ploy
Words take...

Mountain ranges all blurry
peeking through the mist
The sun is still rising
as it does the mist disperses

Showing us crevasses
faint wandering paths
near to steep ravines
trees dotted around

A quiet magical time
follows the dawn
deer appear to drink
the eagle swoops

Every where a surprise
snowdrops nestling
in a patch of snow
startling in their...

I travelled North
Where I began my nest.
I travelled South
On a ministry quest.
Not a great success,
But I did my best.

Then I travelled East
For a brief visit,
but could not abide New York City.

So I travelled West,
An abode of trials and tests.
I fell in love with The City...

Again on the side of the road with my head under the hood,
A firm jiggle on the starter wire and start again she probably should.
More than a month’s salary to get her fixed, I cannot afford to pay,
So every time she conks out on me...

consider that you have discovered a place that was once
a exotic place for the rich and famous of the world which
is in utter overgrowth of scattered blocks of fireplace
blocks and cinder.  a rather ghostly place that involves
a long drive up a two way tree...

I AM VISTA

i am artificial
i am disposable
i am programmable
i am binary
i am machine
i am obsolete

i am error
i am problematic
i am incompatible
i am vista
there is no light
on the faraway screen

i do not like this energy
i exist too nervously
 the monitor is watching me
i am overdue for...

Belmont wallows in westering 

twilight, sheep graze in cold 

pastures, hares scamper, 

ignoring a circling hawk.


Blackpool's urban sprawl crawls off 

up to the scarred horizon, the Tower* 

pricks the heavens like a syringe, 

spilling the blood-red sun.


Evening falls, I'm all alone

and free to stare, ...

That ancient mount climbs
Until crowned by cloud,
A feat I observe
Each glorious morn
While snug in this bed
And knowing with smugness
That prince of an outcrop
Through this window peers in,
Full of envy for soundness
Of love in my marriage,
Love thriving more lively
Than deciduous trees
Arrayed on tall slopes,
Love gushing more...

Though the pallid water fell high 
And bathed the blue rocks continual clean.
Though to the deep,
 The cattle walked over the centuries-old glaciers
Though the horror of Sindh could be heard 
And the hurry of her water seen.
Though the calm cool lakes created
 Long lingering waves.
Though...

The Buena Vista

We met innocently, yet always at the famous, 
crowded, Buena Vista Cafe.
Renowned for Irish coffee and it's view
of  the spectacular, San Francisco Bay.
Over Irish coffees, we shared our days.
You, the journalist and I, the teacher.


After awhile the jabbering ceases.
We are now out in...
