Boar Poems

You came in a beat up old blue Landie

with tales of sleeping giants on your lips.

It was your first night in the cottage

when the Wye was skipping over stones,

dividing the spiked water milfoil

with sacred Pumlumon Fawr sunk into the sunset.

Hunters In The Snow

Slowly, the hunters break stride through the snow
Hunched over in failure their heads hung low,
Below the hill where villagers at play
Will soon be sad with no food on the way.

The meager kill slung across one’s shoulders
Barely enough...Read More

At night, city lights are incomparable 
to your unblemished smile, 
Those eyes that twinkle
as the star blinks.
You as a diminutive creature 
that exists enormously
within my realm, 
Lighting up all the dark
nooks of the horizon, 
Taming the wild boar, 
As you...Read More

Wheels of life dangle from delicate branches

Sway in the wind and embrace in quiet caress

	I used to be an acorn

		Now I am a tree


Seasons coloured in outside their softened contours 

Green yellow orange and red waiting for indigo crowns

	Roots' undergrowth...Read More

We were invited to a house
which had a rusty door.
We went inside and heard a sound
made by the creaky ____________.

We looked around the living room.
We tried to find our host.
And there...Read More

There was a king in ancient Greece,
and Minos was his name. 
His kingdom was an island — Crete.
Enormous was his fame.

In Athens ruled another king
he too — a mighty one.
And once he was the gracious host
of Minos' only son.

The lad...Read More

I crossed the mountain, with an I;
The cross I bear is on a hill;
These steps I take I take in stride;
My sins I bear have been spilled;

HE HELD THE CROSS FOR ME

I part take of the water;
In-bedded and swallowed;
Why? even...Read More

I tried to tell me young bloke about the job behind a ‘barrer’,
and I’ll admit it’s hard to keep him on the straight and ‘narrer’.
It’s not that I have the coppers bashing down our flamin’ door,
but he always takes the...Read More

The ocean of untold, the universe of unforgiving,
Dare me to speak up without husk, bare and bold,
Without submitting to the summit, wild as a boar,  
The peak of power unchained, to the stars I’d soar.

I throw myself in an...Read More

Let My People Go


Ain’t I a woman?
Ain’t I a girl? 
Ain’t I one to bleed in underwear?
Ain’t I one to wear brazier 
And raise them high into the air?
Ain’t I one to carry life 
And push it out into the...Read More

If I weren’t afraid I’d forage ahead,
Run through the forest like a wild boar, red!
I’d crush all the foliage barefoot and bled,
Never looking backwards, but focused ahead.
I’d wait for the darkness for its better to hide,
From the trailing vultures circling...Read More

We are the story tellers,
Once of nature loving best.
River and mountain lake and forest
Teaming life of air or land.
We loved the wolf, big hearted proud
The stubborn boar reclusive bear.
Each with spirit man endowed them
To tell of knowing natures worth.
Shaman natures...Read More

Legends be told, and written in tomes of a creature which roams the residence of the family: Lee-
Through shrubs and trees, though silent and unseen, it seeks seeds-
Ones of fire. Ones of sweet.
The creature seen only when: upon them, it...Read More

Tree sparrow has sang the song of early spring: 
with a flock of titmouses on a piece of lard, 
on the wings of the jaybirds with a patch of sky, 
with the smell of a fox...Read More

Happily ensconced in a glimmering tree
Wearing buckle belts on his pudgy left knee
The old Vogan king took a potshot at me.

My men promptly snatched him up and threw him down
Tore off his wig, his shirt, and his hideous crown
Kicked him...Read More

Down in the depths
Of the old god sea
The world was yet to see
The love and beauty
Of thee
Proud and capricious
What punishment

For such Vanity
But marriage
To the blacken forge

It wasn’t hard for 
The brave and handsome
Ares
To fall in love
with thee
Under the...Read More

A single smile can open bolted doors
uncork expensive champagne
put balm on broken souls
chase lightning and thunder away.
A single smile can stop wars
sprinkle a little hope
blunt the tusk of the boar,
give tarp and a tea to the homeless
lay a flower on...Read More

Disseminated information...
(perhaps theme broached before, yes)?
(alternate title:The hunger for knowledge)

Whither hearing, vis (ideally,
liberal commentators I adore),
asper "NON FAKE") news,
more than weather, latest sports score
or reading, (yes of course

out loud applying index finger de rigueur
of right hand as pointer)
poetically mentioned once...Read More

ONCE UPON a RUBY 

Ruby was our storyteller, 
she could spin an A-1 seller.
Tell us bout a buck or doe, 
escaping lions or wild-boar foe. 

She could give a giant rock,
spirit and life, and make it talk. 
If something got...Read More

The sound of heavy breathing
I pressed my right eye against the peephole
Nobody was there
A cold feeling ran deep through my sole
As I pressed my eye against the hole

Who’s their I said, in a horrified way
Nobody answered
Chocked up twice I said,...Read More

 Did I even Mention before?
Theres some tension in my core
I can't be silent, no more
I always close my doors
And try to forget unsettled scores
And try to complete undone chores
Try to numb myself
Set on collision course
Try to hold down Hulk

Genuine Fecklessness Exemplifies Despondent Creature Because...

Lackluster life lived
     as each subsequent day,
a carbon copy

though far from
being clinically depressed, this boar
