Premium MemberFamine - For Real

...The sinking sun is now undone, 
                       the sky is fading red
and shadows prowl neath cloak and cowl
                       for midnight lies ahead.

Beyond the heap, the honchos ...

red-eyed in underland

...a blood-letting sun
sets as slow as an amber tear
in a shot glass

dotty is lost in oz
ruby slippers
run on a treadmill
of long summer evenings
avocados turn brown
drowned by a late light

Closer To The Heart

...




Felicity balms in a vapor of gold, 
where the dawn silverly unfolds,
as flagged standard- bearer showing, 
pregnancy of colors bold, of heavenly hue.

Like dew on petals of
hope- retu...

Premium MemberRangitoto School Daze

...
In my youth's frolic at King Lear and Pi
  all my daze was a Shakespearean tale.
Not algebra, not prose did edify

The Romantic View

           Honeysuckle breathes in the shallow wind,

Premium MemberAuction On a Windy Hill

...Beneath billowing sack cloth tent 
An auctioneer jibber-jabbers his words.
Below his red mahogany dais
Sit Fifty Amish American women and girls.

Astral Visitations

...Often, after a day of walking
in and out of my mind,
I will put on a nightcap,
it's not a substantial cap like a bobble hat
it's more a cowl, a hood, a cloud-basket.

Beneath this dark covering...

Shedding her skin and matters within
As the moon shone overhead
The shadowed trees filling with dread!

...Descending on this night, a foul
darkness falls like the Reaper's cowl.
And shadows conceal the undead,
instilling the living with dread.

Bone Freeze

...Bent and bundled
in the cold woods. Hot breath
rolling out white ghosts.

Among the tall and grey boned -

freeze framed
under a grey cowl sky.

Hungry woods are these...

while rising to meet its maker
as all mortal ties to life cease
