Long Arthropods Poems

Shapes, colors, and surfaces have long nature shone. 
Anthocyanin in plant sap gives blossoms their tone. 

All tones in the universe bear upon humankind. 
Waves and waterfalls etched them and mixed their shade.

Poetic Verses, Words Composed, To A Wren

They have not taken thee, thou art too small
To tinge their fancy with a moment's flush;
Thy safely lieth in a ruined wall,
Thy plainsong blendeth with loud water's rush.
In dusky...

In dusky shade thy duskier...

White books, black books, tawny books,
Paperbacks, hardbacks, beautifully bound books,
Pure books, lax books, learned books, lay books,
Plain...

peas do it

The world's a grand kaleidoscope
comprised of shuffled scenery.
It shares its everlasting grace
as we walk amongst its majesty.

Green geysers sprout from earthen springs
with herbal shards as ornaments.
The blossoms of the world parade
to the joy of floral...

Therein lies the problem, we inadvertently do control the weather, climate warming via pollution, and clouds can be made to rain. Fauna and flora decimated, extinctions, ten plus a day. A lot of mammals threatened,...

The quite ebony night blew its warm teasing breath---
taunting my wet shining sable skin with a faint coolness.
The paused crescent moon struggled with opaque-like clouds
to dispense sojourning light as it trekked across the sky

The rushing rivers falling fast 
With fury born on high, 
Cut deeply into ages past 
Where fossil forests lie, 

Their life and death transformed to stone 
Yet titan trees are proud

With fury born on high, 
Cut deeply into ages past

through stones, plants, amoebas, arthropods,

reptilians, arachnids, mammals, men
and women, a reptilian again
as punishment for hubris, even gods -

the small "g" gods. As for the...

Brittle to the touch
So fragile these walls
that are put up to hide
happiness in exchange for anonymity.

These natives of what would be Aberdeen,
