Kayak Poems

Fall
blazed trees
paint hued shades
on mirrored stream
stillness sheen ripples in wake of kayak.

Please repaper my kayak redder
The level I refer to is new
 I'll wait here Madam, in my Civic
Until the deed is done, thank you!

Go have adventures,
don’t rot in your home,
go have adventures,
you were born to roam.

Go climb a mountain
and drink in the view,
see all of the world
unfold beneath you.

Go rent a kayak
and paddle the lakes,
a canoe or tube
would also be great.

Go ride a...Read More

From the bower of my abode,
At dawn and twilight I strode.
Crispy leaves rustled as I passed,
Over frosty, shimmering grass.

Craving even paler sun on my face,
Amid stiff breezes I set a good pace.
Staying indoors all day I couldn’t bear,
After a busy...Read More

Wild and free,... pounds a torrent of water.
Turbulence hurtling hard, flows down the  cliff, 
a jagged rock journey... to a tranquil river. 

Slow soft foams... kayak a serene river,
of cool,.. calm,.. crystal clear water.
Gentle splashing sound, loudly hugs the...Read More

as wind slowly, silently, stirs dry grass
forest ruminants eye darkening skies
sniffing for the scents of Winter’s warning
watch the fading “V’s” - distant disguise.

once dappled fawns stand tall now tawny
alert to changes in the forest’s tone
urgency replaces Summer’s idyll

Dee saw a seed and planted it in the garden over yonder.
The next day dawn dewed  on its nectar with sweet delight. 
She was sitting next to the kayak and began to ponder,
“is it I? It is I who...Read More

Anna, the prayerful child, has these requests this season to Abba Father:
Bob, her friend-boxer to avoid and never miss a bad dab
Cedec, the street child to attend Camp Mac’s for kids
Dad Dado to be drawn onward the Lord’s will;

Eve, for...Read More

Springtime reminds me of my “dad”.
He loved how the flowers got redder,
When it's “noon” in spring I’m a lil lad.
I think “mom” enjoys its weather.

“WoW” as I gaze at majestic trees,
I feel peace on a different “level”.
Me and my sis...Read More

TENET OF REIFIER NATURE

Summer’s departing footsteps on the eve of autumn I hear
as the sun blazing the topography mellows down at noon,
and on dewed meadow at sunrise verdant shimmers appear,
the blushing leaves rustle as they’ll become redder soon.

The dawn’s tapestry...Read More

'No pain,no gain‘ Mum reminded us wryly.
'No lemon no melon' Dad quipped adding pith to the bitter- sweet maxim.
So there we stood, Sis and I, incarcerated by our own parents and ordered to repaper the entire kitchen.
Just desserts in their...Read More

The grass "dewed" in spring’s early morning shimmer
Upon a crocus lay an "alula" in the sun with a glimmer
A symbol of many flights on every "level" there is to be
Whether it be "solos" or those together, feeling free

Often at "noon"...Read More

one hundred meters run and swim
gymnastic teeters in the gym

In this plush modern world of convenience
where everything you could want can be sent
to your house with just a single mouse-click,
it’s no wonder men feel depressed and sick.
A sex evolved for hard peril and work,
now just sits around, unchallenged, inert.

(A Palindrome poem is unique.
You can read the verse line 
from left to right. You can also 
read the verse line backwards 
from right to left. And the clear 
meaning will remain!)

Performing a deed is my first goal

A tenet contrasted in this fold

A civic duty to behold

My wisdom is as a radar bleep

To utilize it as I peep

To find a way as one who sees

At the county fair when the time keeper went toot. 

Little Natan riding a ewe bolted out of the shoot

Keeping his weight level was quite a fight

Mom and dad watched as he hung on with

One of our wildest, most memorable family sagas
involved my reckless brother, a racecar, a warm
spring day, and a non-adventurer, me. I warned, “Pop
said stay home today and mow.”  “Sometimes Pa’s a sap”!
he scoffed. “When I race, I always win...Read More

Anna is a charming Mom,
I met her at my gym.
A madam of sorts, quiet and calm,
Level headed, articulate, fit & trim.

Between sets we talk, of life’s little sagas,
Comparing civic cares and concerns.
Verbal jousts before noon, while avoiding drama,
Like racecar drivers,...Read More
