Long Cause for concern Poems

Part 3

They quickly learned... there was cause for concern

By a mysterious twinkle in an all perceiving eye
A form energetic gentle breathing
The grand consummation of design
Ignited by universal dreaming
	
Enchanted stars into their life giving
The dance conceptual
The ballet between
Principals masculine and feminine

These consorts of the...

By condo fence
Bird choir melody;
Song of July


Marriage banquet
Hosts in finery;
Guests and feast sparkle


Gratitude speaks
Spilling fond banter;
Bride and groom delight

Prompts curious eyes;
Ears on the prowl


See moments crisp
Potato chips tasty;
TV sitcom drama 


Evening comes around
Rare red...

My Ducklings,
Like roses,
They’re soft and delicate,
With thorns, 
They’re ready to prick 

My Ducklings, 
Hard like rocks,
Study like bamboo

My Ducklings, 
Like a butterfly,
Their transformations are unique,
Beautiful
Like a dog 
Loyalty is key
Like a beaver, 
Their work ethic...

A cruel birth, pregnancy poisoning
The birth of the child became the mother's death
The father of the boy was crushed by love

To see her walk by for one more glance. 

He's spell bounded by her poise & captured my her smile,

The return unseen, strangers to a home
Pieces fit so snugly, unsettling to think
Attempts at resistance, delayed responses
Hate clouds, above love's umbrella 
The echoes reveal, intention was real.

Little things hidden, repercussions severe
The burns felt, as friction...
