Long Appreciatively Poems

Paradise
like Rome
is not built
and not rebuilt
and rebuilt
and redeveloped
and healed
and redeemed
in one 24-hour
cycle
and recycle
and revolving
round day v night,

And/or 
appreciatively regarding both day
and dualdark
rich and fertile 
souled and soiled
recycling night.

So too
my personal
and political
and economic
and ecological
and theologically reformed...

directing dramatists with doubtful determinations to 
delightful dactylic discriptions. 
Edible...

Frothy lacy Queen Anne ’s lace
Majestically surveys her field
The grasshoppers are flying today
Clipping onto tall grasses to launch themselves

Monarchs glide past; she preens, hoping one will stop.

Bewildering.
But I'm thankful for the deceptive pastels.

They cover me.
Protect me.
Without them, I harbor no...

Appreciatively the night blooms I gander.
Awash in lustrous moonbeams on scented paths,
I listen to frogs croak in nighttime baths.

The sinuous twists bring me to a green maze,
