Brooding and still with empty calendar pages
For this pilgrim on a pilgrimage past new mile markers
Engraved with resolution quoting harmony

On an artificial bough.

I wriggle through the tight spaces,
moving between these fussy wise cracks,

The Greasy SaddleIn walked the Redeyed Stranger
Bragging: he used an excessive amount of
bagging gestures and words. He was told by
his handler to tune down the rhetoric, as one

Autumn's Silent VerseI hear the words. In autumn's silent verse
lie anapestic wafts of falling leaves
with golden syllables both bright and terse,
the crimson pluck of summer as it grieves
its loss of verdant shimmer. In the wake
of crisp...

Companions on my journey
Surround me in anthems -
When the dawn rises up,
In afternoons of reflection,
In slumber’s reveries -

Asking only breath
In canticles and choruses –
Paeans and in psalms –

brushing past the dentally doctored,

Music - PotdMusic
Mystical labyrinth of twisting harmonic warnings
Gazing into infinity’s composing handiwork –
Moonbeams in silver sung sonatas –
Ivory hued cantatas resolved from heart pacing crescendos
Spring’s soothing birdcalls after tympanic thunder.
Measured tempos of rhythms...

Wall In the WoodsWall in the Woods
A solitary pensive woodland canticle
Wanders through summer’s souvenirs,
A gypsy quilt of green transformed to crimson flame,
And prophesies of empty paeans swiftly riding
Through a meandering row of barren arms
Keeping silent watch at last...

Night StreetThe dank petrichor of grainy night,
meters stand like gravestones,
the obsidian avenue slick as a sapphire,
windowed granite rising in sharp cut shadows,
wind gusting, tumbleweed clouds somersaulting
in a moonless ghost town.
I jingle keys with atonal...

Melancholy's GardenLost in a wistful arbor, where malaise blooms,
Mists flower in hypnotic bleak violet dusks
Shades of brooding melancholy
Bruise my treasured bouquets of dreams
And plod through ponderous mists
In metamorphic doldrums
Cold inertia spirals into lamentations,
Midnights...

Beauty, Like Most Things, Is SubjectiveBeauty, like most things, is subjective
Some people prefer a statue, marble,
Crafted at the enervation of the sculptor.

Dancing in plumes to an atonal rhythm.
Call me crazy, but I prefer...
