A progressing cascade that doesn’t fade, 
Self-made, self-aware word engineer,
Deploying cutting edge concepts into the atmosphere,

Over Stonehenge monoliths.
Sing the sacred song
Honoring the throng
Of the ancient spirit’s gifts.

Let the sun stand still

Of Midsummer’s energy.
Summer has begun
Now our hearts are one
As we...

towards you
unknown

speaking to a...

Marked the end of Harvest Season.
It's not the name of a Celtic god,

A digit on the calendar year end shifts
Despair transitioning into doubtful hope
In truth what has changed, if we be adrift
Rooted in mind body as with fears we grope

Twenty twenty gone; we are lucky to be...

These chillers and killers and villains great
From a Halloween party that misbehaved
Not tricking or treating but sick and depraved
No bobbing for apples but slashing with knives
No life of...

A piece of this kind I had been stalling 
But it had a voice and had been calling:

An April fool
twelve months out of the year.
And it’s been a full calendar year
without you in it.

Empty spaces 
take up my planner now.
Devoid of you and me

Born in the Year of the Rabbit.

Mistakes they might make before becoming hares

Bogdan Chmielnicki sits astride a horse
A magnificent statue in Central Kiev
To a monumental Ukrainian figure
A George Washtington-style liberator
He took it to the Poles in the 1600's

A lone Jew glances at Bogdan on his horse
Forgive him...

Who ran a gargantuan toy workshop
Gone by the name of Saint Nick

These lovely plants, trees, shrubs
Thrive the year around with their
Constant coloring and aura of most
Majestic “Deep Greenness” which

Of life that they portend in all of
