Cobblestoned Poems

Squirrels and Hounds

...The squirrel’s hell is, for the hound, heaven. 
And the rain, thunder, which flatten leaven,

Tears spring forth joyful, in equal power
With grief and...

POWER IN THE TONGUE

...A petite yet sinewy muscle, exuding charisma,
A citadel of expression, tenacious in awe.

Its tentacles sting with a vindictive jest,
While cavernous blooms cradle the nectar’s quest.

It Started With A Blank Canvas

...It started with a blank canvas when I was twelve.
I started seeing this vision and I knew it was not a dream
for I always saw the vision when I was awake and about.
It started blank, all white, ju...

The Narrow Streets

...They wend their way through Sunshine City
Cobblestoned, sloped, and Old World pretty;
And lined with colorful, homes in glad unity,
Streets linked heart to heart, in deep affinity.

A bird with an enormous wingspan darkened the sky
it was a night of horror in the Middle East.

blood ran in ancient, narro...

My cold skin streaked by the hushed warmth of sorrow
Broken morning wooing my pain
Withered leaves once the color of emeralds
Prance over the cobblesto...

Kandy Kingdom

...There's a castle in Duluth
Made out of sugar cubes

And the moat that flows out front
Is filled with soda pop

Fruit that grows on trees 
Is the finest in jelly beans

Wildflower

...A wildflower grows on the cobblestoned streets of this dingy town,
Among the dirt and debris left behind by the seasons.
A misplaced beauty working her way up among the cracks between
the rocks of...

the gray clouds, airplanes in them
the night cooing and pigeons roosting
Sirma's garden gone to roses and seed

                        That airplane overhead!...

The Dam Broke In Quebec

...The dam broke in Quebec.
My thoughts,
my words, 
and my pen
all moved.
Moved like the thin layer 
of brackish water
over the icy depths
of le Fleave St. Laurent.

...A littered path of dreams that lay broken.
Humbled desires strewn over this road.
These are the sorrows that need to be spoken.
This is the bearing of love's grievous load.

Flowing waves of soothing peace;
Cobblestoned bottom....
