Long Alouette Poems

My Lark, whom I plucked in the Dark

Alouette, gentille alouette
Aloutte, je te plumerai

Alouette(a) we are all a wetta
Alouette(a) I will pluck you dry

Pluck you dry, pluck you dry
Ben oui,  mais ben oui,  lets...

Watch the sun appear
On this Solstice clear
Over Stonehenge monoliths.
Sing the sacred song
Honoring the throng
Of the ancient spirit’s gifts.

Let the sun stand still
As we feel the thrill
Of Midsummer’s energy.
Summer has begun
Now our hearts are one
As we...

How can you not love the language, the accent…
they way they form their words in France?
How French words flow so easily…linger in the air…and dance

Luckily we didn’t have to go to France…
to hear their language...

My Love (Alouette)

Loving all these years
Through my joy and tears…
My sweet memories don't fade.
When I dream of you
Feelings do renew
And my joy seems Heaven made.

It feels so very real
As my heart does heal
From the aftermath...

Precious Preemie (Alouette)

Precious little lass
Time will come to pass
When your preemie days have gone.
As spring flowers bloom
You'll be blooming soon
As you grow with every dawn.

Mommy loves you so
Daddy too I know
That you'll grow up sweet...

Pristine mountain breeze
Shivers naked trees...
Autumn whispers her adieu.
Northern air descends
Chilling snow filled winds,
Pines view a magic milieu.

In the frigid snow
Icy crystals grow
In the beauty of the light.
Snowflakes bring a sigh...
Snowdrifts rising high
As the winter sky...

(To be sung to the tune of “Alouette”)

Obfuscation, we like obfuscation
Obfuscation, the game we like to play
When you muddle and confuse, then you simply cannot lose,
Complicate, obfuscate, 
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Obfuscation, we like obfuscation
Obfuscation, the...

Crocus bow your heads
As you rise from beds
From your sleep beneath the ground.
Tulips where are you?
Please don't leave me blue,
Sunny daffodils abound!

I am seeking spring
Seen in everything
As cold winter melts away.
Trees soon come alive,
Little buds...

Cleansing of body and mind- the Indian Way- An Alouette



For any Hindu

Bathing in Sindhu

Or Ganga thought to be pure

On fetes, on deaths

Tilak on foreheads

To meditate for mind’s cure





Indian Brahmins

In temple domains

Recite mantras while bathing

Then a...

Gardens at Keukenhoff (Alouette)

As the tulips rise
With their sweet surprise
Fragrance permeates the air
Colors cover land
From God's divine hand
In these gardens we all share.

Such astounding views
Come enjoy the hues
As varied blossoms cascade.
Seek a bench to gaze
At...

The hammock invites
Fantasy of flight.
Not now though, small boy in tow
"Grangee, watch me play
I'll dump fresh mowed hay,"
His imagination grows

Cat and dog take place
At my sides in space.
Hammock starts to slip and slide.
Scat cat; shoo...

White Tip, Red Coat/Alouette


Numbed, I sit alone
neither dish nor bone
to console me as a friend,
space and time confined
future now defined
by this leash - me at the end.

Length of tattered rope
freedom’s shortened hope
dulls the eyes and...

By Olusegun Arowolo

This night of snow falls
will cause few snowballs
the hour to burn coal is here
room becomes chilly
which makes me silly
yet happy, I'm not out there.

love to sleep tonight
I've to face this plight
though I want...

ALOUETTE

A tremulous violin rises into the sky
Leaving its thoughtful melodic trail
Faint echoes of English countryside
And for this listener, evoking pride
The lark still ascending, tells its tale
We’re left in tears and all know why

As I experience...

Alouette, skylark
Get home; it's past dark
Nighttime has fallen too soon!
Alouette, so late
Fly away home, straight!
Fly by the light of the moon.

Dinnertime, skylark
Past time to embark,
Fly away, fly straight ahead!
Little ones pleading,
In need of feeding,
Tuck all...

I do not fear death
or grieve my last breath.
I'll leave this physical realm,
to what, I don't know
but I'm psyched to go,
the feeling should overwhelm.

Relinquishing life
for an afterlife
curiosity numbs fear
though life bonds sever.
My soul's forever
and faith...

Gripped with freedom gear
Driving well, sans fear
Our son whirls in joyous spree
Quelling my heart’s shout
Smiting mother's doubt...
He champions victor’s glee!

In special wheelchair
There he zooms with flair
Gesturing triumphant sign…
Oh, we feel so blest
Since his spastic pest

All Skylarks are still
Trapped in fog unreal
Fly, Skylark, fly, flap your wings
Skylark babies tweet
Their song a tune sweet
Baby Skylark sing, sing, sing 

Baby Skylark seek
Food to fill their cheek
Daddy with worms fills all needs
Sing, baby...

Sound poem.

Have you ever been to a party?
Do you listen to its sounds?
The sound of children's laughter 
Ringing through the house, the sound of the meat 
sizzling on the BBQ,the thumping thud of children
Running,the chatter...

The heavens, their stage;
spotlights of sunrays.
Soaring angelic chorus.
Ballerina dance,
their movements enhanced
by beautiful songs of love.

A sweet lullaby
drifts down from the sky.
Performance demands a hush.
Entranced, we are now,
as they take their bow.
Mother Earth's mobile for us.

Homeless on the street
disheveled and beat
most think they're abject losers, 
unkempt, filthy freaks
without baths for weeks,
street drunks and drug abusers.

From crippled beggars
to teen bootleggers,
kinder souls can feel their pain
and offer up change.
A polite exchange,
though their...

Whenever we fight,
It seems we lose sight,
Too much diverts our vision;

So we hurl our slurs,
Dig deep with our spurs,
Invectives make incisions;

So I leave the house.
Away from my spouse,
Go breathe the clean air, calm down;

Find solace...

Let the darkness drift
atmosphere will shift
carry away the foul air
for the trees will clean
everything be green
for our world we should take care

Pollution will kill
We will pay the bill
There will be no second chance
Please do all...
