Long Bay window Poems

Stars fall under failing skies...stars fall...stars fall...
And sadly...i start to drive.
Through the unremarkable village with its tall 
Georgian Bay window panes, lightless,
devoid of visages; outwardly staring back at my 
Abject countenance with detached contempt and...

I ordered...

Our long time catered chef...
prepared a meal fit for (psst... me) a king

Actually professional cook
(trained since infancy)
long a staple of our family
since... oh way before
my bubba's zayda's time
naturally became (according
to rules of primogeniture)

the feudal rule...

I am sitting in this cabin,
’twas built so long ago
up here in the wild mountains,
has a big bay window,
a vast and sprawling forestscape
greets my wandering eyes,
then comes that familiar urge
to get up, go outside.
Go traipse...

Something's changed, I don't recall this door.
The mat that once read 'welcome'...now gone. 
Am I lost in the night, or had I forgotten some slight..
had my address been quelled by another time?

The new curtains in...

I am in the entrance foyer of a large house.
The wood floor is highly polished. 
There is a large stairway with a turned, wood bannister.
Dad is telling my three year...

She enters carefully
A journey that began so long ago
Culminating on this threshold of discovery 
With the turning of the knob, an old door, of peeling paint and squeaking hinge
The house, a derelict with broken shutters
Darkness,...

Evening cicadas
Cacophony climax;
Night time music

~~~~~~~~~


By this playground
Noisy frolic parades;
Little feet gather

~~~~~~~~~


Haiku moment:
Brief promontory,
Dragonfly buzz

~~~~~~~~~


Raining non-stop
Wet moments splash;
Umbrella parade

~~~~~~~~~


Aqueous verses
Heavy pieces drowning;
Pouring rain recites

~~~~~~~~~


Walkway cobblestones
Busy footfalls conspire;
Old man ponders

~~~~~~~~~


Odd faces
Cellphone conversations;
Bus-stop queue

~~~~~~~~~


Gone away
Cannes vacation;
Stopover at Nice

~~~~~~~~~

NO SANTA CLAUS?

Brother Billy told him,
“Aint no Santa Claus”
Timmy didn’t want to believe his sibling
Just the very name of Santa was magic –
Santa Claus
Those fur-lined endings
Anta
Aus
The colorful red suit
Splendid black boots
Wide leather belt
And that snowball...

THE SUNFLOWERS- With the morning sun on the rise, they slowly lift their heads and their petals of yellowish-gold spread smiling with the sun.

From my bay window, each pane holds my small world
window leaks anticipation out and in this glassy casement
here seasons show their multi-colored faces in a whisper
 
Trees liberated from weight of their leaves, I eavesdrop...
wintertime's...

Not too long ago, in a forest so dense,
a pine tree shot up from a seedling that fell
between bigger ones that prevented the sun
from helping it grow, and it felt so alone.

If only I could...

"December" Contest

Somewhere after fall but before the Spring,
The white mist of snow whispers in my ear,
Such delicate words I have heard from all the de-leaved branches,
Streak in the cloudy skies,

For December...

Rustling blades of ruby sprinkle on my front lawn,
the gazebo is flooded with gold and chartreuse leaves-

I want to go back
to my childhood home
for it was the place where I was
the most happy
when I close my eyes I can see
our row house with lace curtains
on the windows
and flower boxes so pretty

mother nature has a way of retracting her 
tale told-
weeping when icicles melt, for she knows 
their weakness; thawing can be so rough

like weathered wood needing dehydration,
shattered glass needing repairing, 
renovation needed to heal this...

My heart utters gently: you are seven; 
I am too. Yet, the bloom of womanhood
carries us now unto fields where
spiced pleasure and abandonment mingle…
I reminisce our childhood years, when as a girl,
we would look out...

Bamboo leaves
Speak to the wind;
Ancient murmurs

~~~~~~~~~


New day hurls fast
Hymn of birdsong;
Sunburst glare

~~~~~~~~~


Birthday moods
Moments parade;
Hawkish sights

Curious tourist
Digital memories;
Another picture

Silent sentinel
Watches over me;
Guardian angel

New air-con poise
Cool ambience streams;
Outside heart wave

Evening dark
Hungry baby birds;
Chattering instincts

He was standing there, like a painting by Raphael,
Above a parking garage, for show,
For all to see, behind a bay window,
A forgotten resident of our Daytona Beach Hotel.

And I stared up in awe and dismay,
Stunned,...
