Glassy Ibis the OneiropomposThere you sit on an outcrop of black volcanic rock

Is Aldebaran's path traced in...Read More

A Performance of The Magic Flute
The Great Hall of the People, Beijing.
Mozart tonight.
After the opera,
she appears above us,
stepping out of
a Chinese painting of heaven.
She is the Queen of the Night,
an Ibis arriving amid grackles.
After the performance
she descends into the foyer.
Camera’s whir, we press forward
to glimpse...Read More

A Summers' Day in FloridaThe lake shimmers in the early breeze
Dancing rivulets of light kissed by the rising sun,
Reflecting passing clouds hopscotching with such ease
It heralds a new day just now begun.
Observing its environs with majestic grace
An Ibis meanders daintily along waters’ edge,
Confident...Read More

Squirrel's squeaky squeal
Squirrel's squeaky squeal...!
It was a warm evening stroll
along the bund of a canal;
The river flowing further away,
I used canal bund for my sway.
The muddy man-made track,
along the thickly wooded bank!
Many pleasant birds in sight,
going about their duties right!
Egrets, Storks,...Read More

A lone ibis drifts on weeds reflecting my emptiness
When summer dreams grow dull through ashen eyes ...Read More

casting rays on Tomoka Pond.

displaying multi-hued plumage.

On Our Lake
The morning -
kayaks launch, voices call,
sound moves cleanly over deep waters.
White ibis and blue heron cordon cypress knees;
shallow eddies mirror the faces of our dreams.
At twilight, sherbet reflections paint
sunlight's fair, fading face
on our lake.

visiting shadows
tossing and turning

held inside sleepless
hidden from sight

claws in cold steel
ripping and tearing
burning hell

battling feeling fight
glowing eyes
in angers jewels
born out of
the depths
rising from
a hellish pit
baptized in...Read More

as echoes carry

IBIS 101He's treading the shallows
at the border of the lake like
a house cat kneading your lap,
his neck like radar, scanning a map

the borders of the lake are Zen,
that the mire in which they anchor
is armor...Read More
