Purge Our Consciences
From my lowly bachelor’s house
Proudly christened ‘Embassy Fair’
I woke up to the chirping of birds
On the trees above and across the vale
And the riverine bushes in-between
I woke up to the crowing of cocks
And the mooing...

Dark Reflection

its voice deep and mellow like smooth satiny chocolate,
"There is more, much more than good and evil,"
the words thunderously whispered.
The verdant emerald green of the forest quivering at the sound,
drawing in upon...

All roads there are paved,

How Lady Learned At Last
*** How Lady Learned at Last ***
For decades, Lady daydreamed, wanting a full closet,
A packed, complete fashionable style:
Shoes to hats, to crown the French Bob
Of shinny, brunnette tresses above her hazel eyes.
There’d be gauzy blouses...

Beauty
White Dove coos the light through the bedroom window
leaving puddles of glimmering pools on the darkened floor
as the evening wanes and night takes control.
The door slowly opens and you shuffle your weary body
through the moonlit...

White Wine And Feather Boa Dreams
I wrap myself
in feather-boa-fantasies of his dreams
sinuous pinot-grigio-me;
X-rated and never sated
dancing to rock ‘n roll— 80’s dated

welcome to the conjugal jungle
of not-so-rusted lust
sixty-something-shapely...

The Drove
The trail was long and very dusty
great clouds churned up by hooves
of the vast herd being wrangled on
300 more miles of eating their dust
Bandana's tightly wrapped round faces
cries of "get up there" ringing out
bawling calves...

For the last time they all wanted to meet
him to share their thoughts, feelings; he heard them

T’was dry the spring with thunderstorms that rumbled across dry;
most every day was under sun or star filled sky,
the grass had burnt off early; hay mowed this year was scarce,
closed paddocks saved the milkers where...
