Long Catchup Poems

I've never seen a baby so merry as Martha...
They say March newborns are bellwethers for blissful Springs Mary...
Hannah, Haverhill has been a hard place to call home
I'm sorry about Elizabeth's hanging, 
Thomas has honored you...

""He-cried-smiled-and-breathed-his-first-breath, my heart-soared - he-could have-
died there - God-is a good-God I-say. Love found me again-soon there-after as I cried holding

Rainy day clouds
Ominous shades;
Wet, wet, wet

Dawn unzips
Light spreads far;
New birth unravels

Hibiscus florals
Pink, orange and red blooms;
Bright sensations

Punctuates busy avenue;
Brilliant conversations

Early start
East Coast Ferry Terminal;
Sleepy journey


Trip for two
Getaway spa resort;
Rest and recuperate


Mystic moments:
Retreat into void --
Battery recharging


To re-jig sense
Spur sensorial feel;
Find and anchor


Getaway mode
Three days of rest;
Tropical idyll


Sing a song
Joy floods again;
Refresh soiled templates


Doing nothing

Wit moves ritual
In ample flair,
Jest frames ample
As cheer now airs.


Sunday funds spills
As party plays,
A time to feel
What Christmas says.


A fond time here
To greet and touch,
A hundred cheers
With food fare much.


Happy each face
In glimpses fond,
Love can...

Grave of silence,
Death on meter,
Consequence of disobedience remarks its keeper,
Smiles on our face,
Brute speeders ready aim!
Up above is a sky,what's up is a fame,
Benovelent subjects awhile,throwing crab speeches into ear,
Down from the hill,down on gear,
Through...

thoughts in my head
a piece of my heart
right there on her plate

she pokes it with a fork 
adds sauce made...

Blurry e-motion
Waiting on words;
Upheaval swirls


Meal time posture
Food court harvest;
Same old stuff


Chinatown fringe 
Walkabout excursion;
Hot humid weather chokes


Word for word jazz
Relevance juxtaposed;
Poignant verse strains 


Book store punctuates
Tucked in a corner;
Niched following


Verse genres ply
Moods and variations;
Starling change...

The very sound of it strikes a chord.

There are soup cooks,

Whispers from a golden sycamore,
it willingly dispenses green leaf secrets to us souls in autumn phase.
Branches creak but somehow never break despite the brittle onslaughts from an ever changing volatile environment.
Sagacious  watchdogs for all...

 Cats got yo tongue,

Family banquet
Happy setting;
Catchup conversations


Mahjong session
Strategic thinking;
Anticipate counter moves


Good game going
Card pieces form;
Deter and block


Share a witty point
Cause and effect;
Laughter echoes here


Share assorted news
Happenings of late;
Snacks to go along


Improvise card sequence
Make a quick move;
Sense repercussions


Nice sound...

Gravity Brevity

If brevity matters, dreams race swift than nightmares to catchup,
No muck and mire, no festering around, nothing to patch up,

A soloist than an orchestra, focus on one than all,
Critiques take a high note to...

Tide slurps wet kisses on weed slimed stone jetties
The wind slaps sandy fine grit into salt dried eyelids

And the sun shines on

Gulls scream challenge as clams dig spurtingly deeper
Shells roll and tumble wave dancing on...
