The forest had enjoyed a magical transformation.
Dusk had ushered in the firefly brigade.
They lit up the pond area like tiny LED lights.
I could see they were excitedly motioning to the faeries.

The bees graze in fields of daisies
They dance on flowers like fairies
Quickly…substantially, they buzz around happily
Hopefully, they’re not caught off guard suddenly

In lands, so free
Blissfully,
They will surely flee

They don’t know, oh no…
They...

“Butterflies” 

Sun shines its burning 
star light into mirrors 
reflecting upwards 
captured and carried
the whispering watchers

to heartbeats dancing 
freeing...

Wolfed down all that they could swallow 
 
Then they rose up and departed

there are seven birds that I often get to see
as I walk on the tracks in pristine forestry,
in one square mile, northeast of Noojee.

It’s okay to be nervous
But there’s no need to fight
When colors flow inside of shapes 
You have taken flight
Directions will be pointed 
But you’re flying much too high
Caterpillars may inhale smoke
But eat plants to Butterfly...

As if a child should understand an  adult’s muddle,
putrid oil slick puddle,
the dreadful pain we foist on wide-eyed offspring.
Robotic elders crush with rigid slabs of Portland censure,
 whatever spark remains in tiny rosebud coloured...

In the beginning was darkness, like in any other shell
Then a crack and out came the typical caterpillar
Into a jungle with so many like him and unlike him
Moths, caterpillars, dragon flies and other killers

An almost stillness came about
as she strode into my door,
like breath itself refused to move,
fearful of touching her mysterious beauty

Something it’s not
If we’re going to name things
Let’s give it, some thought

If it’s called a chilli
Then why is it so hot
And I can say this
A guinea pig, is not

A prairie dog

Entrance into the Garden of Eden
An Exit Oft Repeated in Four Acts
By Sy Roth

Red, brown and yellow leaves, 
Thrust the trees aside for their impending sleep.

They...
