Hillside Violet Chant
Written: August 19, 2023
______________________________________________________________
Tall bundles of wild fragrant lavender bloom.
Life's hidden clasps in the round garden boom.
They tower over the lavish green landscape.
Intricately marked, vibrant auburn shape.
They sway silently in the mild breeze.
Their petals—such lovely sighs, appease.
A picture—a utopian scene, a work of natural art.
This garden on a hill—an exquisite part
The wind blew—carrying their

On the Hillside
-----------
On the slope of the forest where the nightingale nests.
There, on the downhill,
where is a hundred-year-old oak tree.
Barely embraced by your tender arms.
In Hadrian's shrine shade.
*
Our garden is right there.
Your embrace is a garden to my being.
Shelter for the soul,
food for the body.
The game of life is weaved by our hands,
in the face

Logging a Hillside Revised
I
A stand of timber
Each tall tree
Talking with the wind
II
Clearcut
How quietly the wind
Blows
III
Thousands of seedlings
Planted one by one
Reaching for the wind

I Stand Alone On a Hillside Barren
I stand alone on a hillside barren
Of trees and rocks, and similar thing,
Once they were lush with foliage green
But now they are stripped of everything.
Ancient mountains verdant ripped away
The price of greed more than evident,
By harvesting narrow top seams of coal
Crushing heavy equipment came and went.
West Virginia’s hills were once majestic
Grand and proud they towered

Steep Hillside Snow-
steep snow storms hillside;
as excellent lorry prowls;
under snow showers;
~
mountings blizzard storms;
covering grounds hills valleys
accumulated
~
white dust sparkle specs
falling downward down to ground
steep snow storm hillside

A Welcome In the Hillside
( Mum pictured in her Welsh costume on St David's Day)
I wrote these words to fit the well known Welsh song melody 'Calon Lan' as in the audio above.
Wales to me, through childhood vision
calls to mind a country home,
full of welcome and adventure
where I once would freely roam.
Land of song and rolling hillsides
rugged coasts

On the Hillside Shore Seagulls Drools At An Old Filthy Bottle-
witching hillside shore
a nocturnal seagulls drools
at the old bottle
dead invertebrates
gulls scavengers eating
most things clean or not
listing hillside shore
the nocturnal seagulls drools
into the bottle

Bottle a Vase Full of Flowers Picked From the Hillside - a Haiku
Bottle a vase Full of Flowers Picked from the Hillside - A Haiku
hillside steep flowers
green bottle stands placed in vase
flowers picked placed
all arrangements in
inside of a bottle green
swimming in water
while outside all’s wild
betrayed by birds steep flowers
they pick, pollinate

Hillside Grounded Fallen Rains--
Water falls off the hillsides;
Vapor mistily spits drops;
Within the moment of sunrise;
the lightening stops;
~
Water rains down again falls;
From the cloudy skies;
Evaporates air, dries;
Thunder shakes and stalls;
