Dawn Steps Lightly into the Day
...
Silence quells the bells
as dawn sneaks into the space,
where darkness reigned supreme.
All is hushed and holding back.
For something to be assembled.
From the dis-membered memories,

Glistening like hairy sugar bombs
Through barns of dozy prized cows
Stinky squeaky piggies squeal off-key
While whirligig Ferris Wheels grind and spin
In the hum of ...

Bran Castle
...A female gymnast in Romania
Sweet girl's name is Nadia
Went to a castle passed Brasov
A legendary castle, not of Romanov

I sometimes think of there and then,
And when I'm drowsing in my chair
My dozy thoughts go back to there.
I rest nearby a fireside glare
A glass in hand and he...

when the Kings rider strode in demanding a bed,

Sitting In My Lawn Chair Tanning
...Sitting in my lawn chair tanning
On my little patch of asphalt,
Many things I see occurring
I normally just would not see.
Like spiders spinning dinner webs,
Butterfly on its way somewhere,

Brrr! It’s getting mighty cold.
