Flume Sonnet

It thunders through like a rampaging doom,
water cracked the stone, and carved out this chute,
the locals around here call it the Flume,
white water churning through a confined route.

Roiling, throwing mist onto the rocks,
always wet and sporting a sheen of green,
so loud is the torrent it’s hard to talk
over the noise as the water careens.

Empties out into four small waterfalls,
which widen into a wading-deep pool,
folks splash around, and the kids short and tall
dunk heads in the cascades, thinking it’s cool.

But never dare try riding the cataract,
even dumb kids know they will not come back.


Within the Dirt, Stars Form

Dusting the floor,
my broom wrestles
with the cobwebs lingering
from yesterday's sales,
all around the ceramics
the threads poke
in all directions,
I kick the dustpan 
and the dirt crystalizes 
in midair,

for a moment, it was beautiful. 

Sirius, bright as always but
Canopus, closely behind. 

The vacant moment 
stabilizes,
attuning gravity 
for the slightest
second.

The image painted its portrait 
onto the walls just as 

Starry Night captured Van Gogh. 

Unlike brilliant masterminds,
the stars fall as gravity remembers
its role. 

The glittering dots flake 
over my feet blending 
back into the ground,

the straws weak grip lifts
the dirt kicking it back
outside, yet again it forms 
high up in the skies blending 
with nature as it hides,

slowly it vanishes 
as its memory remains

within the dirt, stars form.

Premium MemberImagination

Clouds of many forms, shifting in the sky,
Fading in and out, quietly passing by.
Seeing floating forms in full animation,
Requires a reset of mind’s vibration.

For one must look deeply beyond mere sight,
To see all the shapes in the dark and light.
Open channels of imagination,
Now you recognize the mind’s creation.

Cloud after cloud they begin to connect,
You still can’t decide just what to expect.
Coming into focus from bleak contrast,
The things you are seeing just cannot last.

Seeing with faith through an opened mind’s eye,
Created wonders in creation’s sky.

Normalcy

A return to Normalcy
As night comes, all are at ease 
We return to slumber 
In the electric comfort 
Of artificiality that is our lives 
We revel in the false sense of our own 
Modern conveniences
We forget the thin veil between 
Our electric life, truth of nature’s brutality
Of our existence, we believe we are
Immune to the real world, harsher realities 
Till only a loss of electric life or death, finite
Our comfort zone is rot, lost, and won
Something jars us back to reality 
Of the world so frail 
So it goes for everything n anyone 
We are wrapped in ourselves
We are ignorant of the truth, in flesh
We hid in the comfort of our arrogance 
We whitewash our history 
We tell ourselves one thing 
We miss direct our attention 
With glamour, illusions, n media broadcasts 
Peel back the thin layer of civility 
See the bones of mortality 
The flesh of humanity
The blood of our souls, vanity
We are primal and dangerous
Everything foretold, lost 
We are comforted by our excesses
We fear what we cannot hold
And believe all we are sold
As we turn in for a much-needed reprieve
A needed night's rest, we are in our woolen 
Wilds and slumber in our hypocrisy.

had so much plucky luck

they invested in tranquil park ponds

then meditated swimming alongside fronds !

the squirrel sensed danger
     quickly it ran up the tree
          helpless the dog barked

Premium MemberClouds Blowing in the Wind

The clouds are swirling in the wind,
Unique designs appear within.
An artist’s brush could be the air,
For many forms are found up there.

Look up there, it’s a swimming whale,
‘Twill quickly change with the next gale.
It seems so strange to change so much,
It makes it hard to keep in touch.

There’s a ship with the flag raised high,
It slowly fades as it drifts by.
A dragon flies upon the mast,
With raging winds, it will not last.

One way to live with all this change,
Enjoy each form when it’s in range.
Then like a child with a new toy,
Each change will bring with it more joy.

Don’t allow fear to have its way,
Change will come with every new day.
Giving us a chance to mature,
A better chance to feel secure.

Premium MemberOver Calm Seas

Image #5

Over calm seas the sun does rise
Far away and seeming so small
Truth is where our perspective lies
Over calm seas

One of the largest of them all;
Sea creature with bandits disguise
The sun balancing like a ball

So deceived by fallible eyes
This whale makes the sun rise and fall
Painting red, orange, yellow skies
Over calm seas

spirally coiled shell
     crawling across the sidewalk
           two tiny feelers

Common

From beneath a veil,
A shroud itself hidden,
Anonymity It's masquerade.
Tired secrets languish,
Benighted by nature,
Emerald, to pale green and white, from jade.
A sough in the head,
Of their tepid maker,
Whispers nothing, wholly unaware.
Crafty camouflage,
For the crafter of secrets,
Who never knew they were there.
The irony aroma,
Stagnant blood without pressure,
Metallic, unmoved, unaffected.
Averse to sense,
Illusory marionette's,
Clear strings, turbid skeins undetected.
And the irony lies,
With an off thirst disguised,
By the growing pines of set minds thought unique.
And as trite as the urges,
Desperate purges,
Like mewls of the sheep seeking shade from critique.

Premium MemberThe Heart Of Night

The heart of Night pierced by first light,
Dawn gives birth to a brand new day.
And wildflowers instinctively;
begin opening their petals.

Shadows scurry back into cracks,
the heart of Night pierced by first light.
And color steps from the shadows,
as the moon completes its cycle.

A spectacular sun rises
once more, to push back the darkness.
The heart of Night pierced by first light,
Sol illuminates a blue sky.

Dusk and Dawn are a package deal,
for light and dark are conjoined twins.
Dawn sparks the day that Dusk ended,
the heart of Night pierced by first light.

a lone flower sway -
beneath a weeping willow
basho dreams of spring

Premium MemberA Pause In Time

Gazing up at the stars at night;
Nature's beauty tends to awe you.
You see ebony pierced by light;
devoid of all traces of blue.
And you feel small;
amidst it all.

Watching a shooting star take flight,
you enjoy a breathtaking view.
And savor a cosmic delight;
that takes but a second or two.
A pause in time;
that feels sublime.

Premium MemberDawn Collapses Night

Dawn collapses night; the stars disappear;
the crickets fall silent, and Sol rises.
And ebony bleeds with a scarlet smear,
as Nature dons one of many guises.

A sea of blue washes across the sky
as sunbeams color clouds a rosy pink.
And while dragonflies flex their wings to fly,
shadowy silhouettes silently shrink.

While twittering songbirds sing to the sun,
butterflies fly from flower to flower.
And on silken threads that a spider spun;
dewdrops gleam in the early morning hour.

With one turn of Earth’s planetary gear
Dawn collapses night; the stars disappear.
