Forewarning of Dawn

A bird that dips and wavers
Over lone waters round,
Then with a cry that quavers
Is gone—a spectral sound.
— Cale Young Rice

Sopping wet, the organ floats,
flounders in one of several boats,

severed from the blue-green sea,
nevermore to scurry into the lee.

Hearty laughs, ebb and flow, on wind
oblivious to a malevolent whirlwind.

Cupid’s arrow, a bullseye contortion,
took from mate, a

Fair steadfast of the Lord
New in the morning.

Red Sky Dawning Forewarning

Brilliant start will depart
with storm, tempest fermenting.
Red at dusk fomenting,
brewing, red sky delight!
Cheers folks! Let's party!

A Mild and Forewarning Season

Tomorrow hovers, an uncertain ghost
trying to recall how to haunt.
The calm is over, the leafy drape dropped.
Beyond the window
sparrows are digging trenches,
feathered preppers pecking on the edge
of a dim and looming sunset.

November peeks out
from under a russet and smoky skirt,
It is losing its color
turning into a pale harbinger,
beckoning us into darker dreams.
The climate is finding

Beware the frustration,
     the ultimate complication
          of the premarital affair.

Forewarning
It's only morning
But my day starts off far from boring
Usually up by 6 AM, not snoring

Weather getting colder or warming
Clouds in the sky forming
Soon to be storming
Thundering, and pouring
Nearby rapids that continue roaring
Birds in the sky soaring
Above houses with wooden or tile flooring

She acted like she was adoring
Then quickly was ignoring

Meanwhile I kept exploring
And scoring

Forewarning

It came in silence of the night
And almost stilled my heart with fright.
The voice was very low and clear
Saying the name of my only son
Telling me that his life was done.

That night I slept no other wink.
My mind was muddled, I could not think.
I had seen my son that very day.
He was happy and looking

A Spring Forewarning

Take care, fellow, that you not a cuckold be,
for spring is in the air; the cuckoo sings!
Woo your wife and treat her tenderly.
Flirtatious whims can blossom into flings;
a woman left alone might test her wings!

Note: A cuckold is someone whose
wife has cheated on him.

The Forewarning

Taking a stand is more like a demand.

Quit asking for what they ignore.

Be more than a supporter. Be a man.

Otherwise you will always be on the other side of their door.

Knock, Knock, Knock. Their not letting you in.

Your visions to them are a bore.

Be forewarned. Don't become another victim scorn.

We vote at their polls. Wonder
