Like any transition Summer springs from a bud and burgeons into bloom, fulfilling the legacy of nature's constant change of state. Gone but remembered.
From frolicking in the sweltry sun to a cooling composure - the questing quill sows its elucidating wisdom to embark on a final journey - crafting the legacy. Gone but remembered.
Autumn! Season of fecund harvest when poets forage for mocking muses amidst the gaudy palette of fading charm. Gone but remembered.

I gazed upon the crystal
only hard before the thaw
and as you warmed to melt
your gem-like qualities seemed
of mine to adore
unlike the slush of snow
unlike the muddies of rain
unlike a city's drainage
a heart needs only another
willing to sustain
for love is greater immortal
than the many painted temples
with flawless sculpted gods
far greater than most paradise imagined
above the ringing stars and their
singing elucidating bards
love is more the remnant sea
almighty rivers and streams
real lords of man and lands
within their never-ending travails
carrying life's speckles of gold
as well as life's sentient rearranging
sands

I think form in poetry
(in all sorts of writing)
is akin to math: without meaning
until we are talking the likes of
apples and oranges; buildings
and their elucidating inhabitants:
what goes into, and then comes
from our hearts – minds that dream...
The crux of any communication
is what is being said, how it is
being said~and whether the discourse
is perceived alive or sterile –
I do not want my works to have the
equivalency of genetically modified seed,
producing one crop, going no further than
one mouth; adding no reverberating
crunch to the ear of humanity~myself preferring
cremation to the dormancy of an embalmed grave....

Natural is the new synthetic
Its all hoax of aesthetic
Clear skin is the new frenzy
The pressure is too profound , you see!
Five to ten bottles consumed of lake
Might as well call it plastic . It’s all fake .
the “new natural” is all a trend
Get a brush and blend
this needs to mend
The workouts , the starvation
Is supposed to bring me to salvation?
The big butts and small waist
Exercising with haste
Keeping up with societies paste
Just to fit the picture of “nature”
Hour glass , a curvature.
Curls are a blessing
As soon as its broadcasted , time for confessing
The fruits and greens
Turning health into a “thing” , sigh only us teens.
Rosy red lips another spell
Society has some elucidating to do , can’t you tell

My eyes
Inseparably focused
On the plain, colorless canvas
And yet
Still ideating
A bright, elucidating palette,
The golden curls
Falling over the strong, pensive face
Shown glancing
At something unseen,
“Oh,” I wonder,
“What might it be that fixates you so?”
Do you heed caution?
Perhaps an undisclosed epiphany?
Or is it fear
Which makes your broad jaw drop?
The great, big arms
Spread wide open
Like a pair of ivory wings
To either assist
In advancing
Or eluding,
Have you shared this secret
With another?
Else, it is your intention
To keep silent
And allow time
To take its turbulent course.

Farmer Fred the raconteur
I’ve often said is full of manure
When spinning yarns of yesteryear
His tales grow taller beer by beer
He orates on about three little pigs
Elucidating eloquently on their building of digs
In Fred’s varied version there is not a wolf
The malefactor being a malcontented oaf

Enlightened I, Look Beyond
Cacophonous chatter reverberates down congested hallways
Human minds stir anxious thoughts
Yet amidst the scattered, clouded banter
I force myself to read on.
The world spins on, a chaotic top
Trying not to fall off the coffee stained table, I breathe in
Snow white corset pulls tight digging persistent daggers
To taunt skin, clung to sore screaming ribs
Eyes blur to printed words
Ponders wander behind carefully edited pages
Earthquakes rumble shifting tectonic plates within my brain
Steady the queen,
Forfeit a few pawns to disastrous tremors
Continue on, dead set center of the hurricane
Enlightened I let in the light
Elucidating my next move
Peer into the future
Do not ignore the present gifts
Have faith, My Child, for when you believe you’ll find
Sanctuary is within the groove

Admirable ... water copulating with nippleless sand
Utility ... industry caressed by the gentlest hand
Desirable ... I drip memories from my heart like a gland
Respectable ... yet voluptuous and hard to understand
Elucidating ... lighting the tunnels to seek your man
You are God's gift ... and I seek you to complete his plan.
Sensuous ... moaning for me, making your ice cream
Aggressive and flammable on the paper of desire
Passionate and loveable frolicking on my dream
Productive prodigy inspiring hope in broken lyre.

Poison
silently kills
my miserable soul
elucidating my weak heart
I’ll die.
