as if to walk
confidently
with great armies
yet hesitation
was witnessed
in their waving gestures
perplexed
and touching
green crowns,
there they...

A New Mythology
There is a new mythology emerging,
Howling from the hind end of the pack,
Scorching the composted leavings
Of established orthodoxy as a pillar of flame
Showing the way for true rock & rollers.
It’s...

Mighty Oak Tree, Its Acorns Fed Many
(A Native American Food Source)
Hard-cast shell
flung down in Fall,
food for man and beast

majestic Oaks rain
fruited missiles to ground:
thy treasure feeds life itself

A Noble Tree
The heavens shimmer
as billowy linen-white gossamer clouds slip away, as soft blossoms open for the sun.
Mystical wings of Eden brush sunset colors;
caress the rose petal; touch the lustrous cream bisque glossed onto an...

Thanx Maya

When the battlefields become only fields.
When the swords of hope, become only hope.
When money is worthless and only hearts do we steal.
When all is said and done…only then will we know.
When wishes become our...

Black Cat In the Window
Black cat in the window
looking at the world,
lickin' on its mittens,
its tail unfurled.
Watching every bird
in the yard fly by,
watching every cloud
drifting through the sky.
Dog on the doorstep
squinting in the sun,
waiting for its owner
to get the...

On a Frosty Morn
Leaves glitter quietly, serene and slumbering,
Beneath the frost’s quick breath.
Amber, gold and mahogany – crisp as the voice of winter
Shadowed by trembling winds of December,
Hopeful and happy beneath the jewels of laughing songs,
Inspirations drifting softly...

The answer came, “No!” Thus,
At age 9, at the start of summer, I searched
Our not especially well-kept house and yard
For every scrap...

Stillness
I was a learned meteorologist, studying azure atmosphere and vivid weather,
To give a prophetic daily forecast, like bees gliding remote locales of heather.
Often I had to issue advisories and warnings, like a jumbo roar of...

Come Closer, Look Again
Smaller than a dinosaur,
But bigger than a bear,
A boulder’s tucked back in the woods,
Forever, it’s been there.
It’s wondrous in its natural form,
A nursery, home, and den.
You may not notice at first glance,
Come closer,...

The Old Oak
I once was a grand and old oak tree,
Wearing my crown with shades of green.
A protector of fields, a watcher of night.
I stood with my pride, till the mornings soft light.
I watched the burrows, and...

Beneath the Oak Tree
I kneel to pray beneath an oak tree’s leaves,
where my journey began.
Broken limbs straggle over a patchy lawn,
a neglected place full of holes,
shoveled from childhood memories.
I bow at the altar of the tall oak.

The Work: Summer Solstice, Avebury
Across the land this morn, a roll of light
Gave birth to shadows, cast from chalky hills
The larks ascended, sang away the night
Vibrated sky to waking with their trills
‘Tis Summer; round the circle swirls the...

Rumors of Light
Echoed in the embrace of autumn’s wind,
Gentling whispers, sighing
Breathing prayers who consume guarded
Flames from yesterday’s shadows
Considered by the trembling branches,
Tugging against the gusts,
Laughing into the twisted leaves, dancing
Swirling caresses of soft amber,
Succulent tangerine...

My Missing Muse
I have tried to write as of late,
but my mind has become a true blank slate.

I have to think of something grand.
Lately I lack poetic...
