in life you flow like
a blue river wavy 
and speedy towards
 the ocean gleefully
undisturbed 
attached to
 the moment like 
a lover
you might look up or 
fro lights of virtues 
guide not of
 fear or greed

Silent Parade - Anacreontic Verse

He curses sunrise,
it starts his demise.
He lies in bed,
wishing he was dead.
As somber thoughts creep,
they hurt him too deep,
he just wants to weep
and forever sleep.
His mind's gone berserk,
as the pills don't...

Despite the distance,
like moon and ocean,
I feel her close, but
touchless and tasteless.
Craving her comfort.
like a thief without
his precious treasure,
I yearn for one glimpse.
Tongue is silent, but
as spirits ignite,
'urges' call her name.
Her voice cools embers,
as souls...

With kind, gentle eyes
Caressing with smiles
Whispering shyly
Within sapphire lights
Resembling fireflies
Flickering thru nights
Enchanting the stars
Passionate praises
Powerful prayers
Echoing through dreams
Coloring worlds whole
Soothing compassion
Filling my heart up
With graceful pure love
Promising my thoughts
Surely find a place
On silence that waits
Only...

Anacreontic Verse 4 - Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Edward Ebbs


a midsummer’s day
shares hope aglow
vigor shines beneath
soft hues of yellow
willows stroke the breeze
with sweet cherry trees
florets peek hello
vivid hummingbirds
whisper sharp tunes
without needed words
it gently consumes
the pink lily blooms

Like a mad man
without a plan,
slightly insane,
dancing in the rain,
pixilated dreams
like shallow streams,
leave me bemused,
restless, but amused,
but my soul is tried
from those bullets fired,
when loved ones depart,
leaves holes in my heart,
as guns aren't coded,
when locked...

(Anacreontic Verse)

My color is white -
white like a dove
seeking peace.
A second color
flutters near me.
It’s the yellow
of a canary 
that sings in the sun.
Basking in light,
it’s looking for fun.
Your color is red -
red like a fire,

Anacreontic

Yes, she will come
The warming one.
May kisses cascade
On Spring as she fades.
Calendars are wrong
Summers come along
Some unscheduled day
Secreted by May.

Stroll in fun June
Who holds the moon
To gaily display
As her own balloon.
Watch June move sure
For the...

Oh summer moon
your soft light
highlights my hair,
makes me aware
of the ocean tides
when the grunion
run at very high
tides, as females
dig their tails
into the sand to
lay their eggs.
Fertilization
from a male 
occurs and after
ten days with the
next set...

oh summertime
in Canada
short and sweet
put on my flip flops
pretty sundress
and go for a walk
pick wildflowers
on a forest path
go for a hike
farmer's market
picnic in the park
feed the ducks
and the swans
dangle my feet
in a cool stream
collect odd...

Form: Anacreontic verse


I lay and stare
you’re lying there
Constant commitment
Gave you my word
Gave me your heart
Pledge a guarantee
Promises anew
We’ll always be us
Cherished passion
Adoring fondness
My darling husband
Relish in your touch
Heartstrings attached
Play with my hair
Pure predilection
Held in high...

My darling, your smile
Memories revive
Blushing eventide
Where emotions pry
Rekindling our vibes
On marigold skies
As bashful moon vies
Twinkle in your eyes
Yearning earnestly
Missives of feelings
Invoking in dreams 
Rise of new morning
As rays of sun blue
Sparkle drops of dew
When you...

patterns on water,
in the clear blue lake,
what makes them appear?
perhaps the air gush,
a little trout’s flip,
or bubbles from deep,
a lost frond of leaf,
by the boatman’s oar,
when water birds soar,
family of ducks,
little pup that skips,
his owner’s...

--Anacreontic Verse--

Dry heavens build 
Temple to the North
Fluff billows up from
Crags to stratosphere
Midnight cover 
Issues forth
Engulfs solar orb 

Cloud King’s dance begins
Footfalls fill the sky
Grape press of the Gods
Now drowns our sins
Monsoon rain’s vintage 
Pours...

days of my childhood
tumbling by ~  ~

feeding ducks
in a lush green park

lady shouts

I run home
fall and scrap my...

Honeyed gold pearled shades
brown ferns and aspens
