Long Buckwheat Poems

Myrtle Parker

Myrtle Parker lived on the Riviera,
That’s the English one not the French.
Her favourite tipple is Red Currant Cider,
Only beverage her thirst would quench.

Never did she marry no husband,
Preference for life single and free,
Though kept...

Grab a wooden spoon, and choose a mixing bowl
A breakfast that is piping hot is worth its weight in gold!
You can make them by the dozens, or one or two will do
Make them for your...

Among tall weeds are waving tulips, with satin pearls of dew
Blowing trumpets, and brushing grasses, with shades of cheerful tunes
Creating carpets soft and fair, where  every eye can rest,
Dancing petals kiss the breezes, in...

Do you see that tree up on the hill empty of friends as far as the eye can see?
No green bushy trees surround it just buckwheat and bugs
Do you think it’s lonely or just happy...

From buckwheat bloom to goldcup flower, 
From my sill of shade, to your wealthy dower, 
The junctures, the times, we came upon together. 
Now these goldcups, finally had color. 
Transpiring your truths, I tally a...

I stopped awhile, to rest my legs, and spied a crevice in the wall
where mossy stones, and flagstones, lost, are hidden in the vines
I'm quite intrigued, so I must squeeze, and curl myself into a...

The pure stream rumbles out, surely sacred
With magical properties evoking sighs.
Ancient secrets of this place become naked.
Suspicions, therefore, do quickly arise.

Will fertility come to its demise,
Or will seeds of ideas, thus, be blended
For evoking unique...

Morning's Glory

Out from
the bowels of night.
Mornings, glory child
begins to 
crown.

 Riding
on wings of honeysuckle 
Dawn radiates her warmth.  
Breaking the silence of slumber
forcing the night to 
step down.

 Ivory
Swatches are whipped
into a cloudy vanilla...

Fleece of morning Light

Out from the shadows
 of the night
A new morning 
begins to take flight

On breezes of honeysuckle
 scented shrouds 
Across a sky adorned in
whimsical lacey clouds

The silence of slumber
 breaks from a frown

Beneath the opal passage of the morning
I surrender to my gaze, and I am thrilled
Where the cattle graze upon the hills
The grass is wet and chilled by morning dew

Under haze and clouds, and glow of...

Having not done the things I wanted to do
and the things I've done not being what I wanted to do
I sit here looking at lichen on the north side of trees.

Black-capped chickadees
cheerful and truthful expression

THINGS  THAT  MAKE  ME   SMILE


Cats sitting on a fence-posts with  curled-up tail wrapped around neatly. 
Penguins waddling  off-balance, out of their element completely.
Babies  snuggled up with only...

Stalky lupines add a purple fringe
to rugs beneath the lodgepole pine
In tall cool grass, where deer have been
the sun slides down between the limbs 

The blue wild flax,  on slender stems
will bend and bow...

Do You Remember?

Do you remember "Spanky" Mcfarland on "Our Gang"?
Wasn't he talented, smart, and cute to boot?!
And how about Alfalfa, with his love for lil Darla,
and his hair shaped in a point?
One of a kind,...

A luminous sun steadily glaring
Becomes a phenomenal scene
Can blind the observer's eyes
Diffusing its light very quickly
Effulgent as a winter's moon
Fascinating as the calmest sea
Grand illusion of the unreachable Paradise
Herald of the unconquerable skies
Image of the...

I had a lunatic feeling, once, of caging a bird,
I had purchased a very beautifully-looking cage;
I had kept a myna in it and did very well gird,
I saw to it that she felt happy and...

She served toast and jam with chamomile tea,
And placed a tidy white petunia on the table.
She brought grits and gravy with hickory smoked bacon,
Then flipped a western omelet on a bed of crisp hash browns.

Sporadically, language falls short of the lasting mark
To instantly share awe-inspiring testimonies and remark

Appalling atrocities of war and unfathomed sorrow
Millions of people are on the hunt for a wheel-barrow

This loaded backpack was previously packed for...

Nutritious noodles, curled like worms in a dish,
Served with sauce in a salad; stuffed with fish.
Veiled with vegetables… making a perfect pasta.
Superb, succulent, smooth and rolling in… strata;
Hot from the oven, often boiled before it’s...
