The Freckled Face of a Girl

The harness bells faded
reigned in at the rill
a cool running brook
near the base of our hill
~
My eyes
I'm a lad
scant older than four
brought visions to mind

Beneath your vast oceans of sky
i trembled in wonder
And the veil was torn asunder
And for a time, standing still
I could see: oh, all my blindness to reality
The gears clanged together, shifting again
I was in...

Big Red
In an Old West Town of no repute
Came a rider on a horse as if in hot pursuit.
Into the saloon he ran and shouted aloud
"BIG RED'S COMIN' "...which brought down a shroud.

A Not So Quiet Calamity Iv
The sirens and mermaids
called up from the deep,
untangled mesh nets
blithely held out by sleep.
There the first to emerge
were the sighs and the nods,
they sank then resurfaced
in clear Morphean pods.
I found myself wandering
on a wide stretch...

The Sandpiper
The sandpiper seemed innocent enough,
as it trailed the water’s edge.
She followed, keeping her distance.
It was a beautiful day in April,
when the unspeakable happened.
A warm sun and gentle breeze
comforted her busy mind.
Patiently, she followed the...

Agony of a Swindled Bird
Now it is I chime with sage;
The god of wit!
Clanged his sword with warders
Of profound thinking,
Buried the hatchet with the successors of
intense cognizance,
Scrawled an epitaph of honour,
To raise the Lazarus of creativity,
And returned with bolstered...

Helpless I Am
I should have known
when the elderflowers failed to bloom,
Blind was I, dancing in Plato's Cave.
Then there came the day.
The cosmic disarray nor the wolves howls
Rang bells to me.
For had they,
Church bells I would have clanged

In our shared Right hemisphere,
Skywoman "created a garden
for the wellbeing of all."
While in and out of the more extractive Left hemisphere,
Eve was...

The Rung
It would be a lonely trek
across the icy slopes
and devil's crevasse
where only ghosts of the damned
dare to go.
I travelled day and night with little rest
broke bread with pica and marmots
listened to long faced mountain...

Drinking With Kings
Princes drank fine wine.
Prophets broke bread,
The honorable ones sat at the table.
Armormen told tales of great battles won,
Bestowed by Grace.
Noblemen spoke of Wisdom's Beauty.
Poet's words danced from the Spirit-Lord.
Heaven allowed none other to...

Inspiration Taps Softly
Sometimes late at night as we succumb to sleep
We greet creative thoughts beyond those of counting sheep

That clanged into a bucket noisily as planned
Stirring, he was intrigued...

Malcolm and Courtney at Memorial"
In the halls of Memorial Junior High,
Where lockers clanged and dreams flew high,
Two hearts met in a gentle spin—
Malcolm and Courtney, love would begin.
Between math class and lunchtime chatter,
They found in...

As the Rain Came
As dark clouds dashed and clashed in the sky
Thunder began to boom and rumble
Sensing an impending rain, frogs started croaking
Cows stopped cuddling and began to moo
Soon pitter- pat came down the raindrops.

And It Stood Right Over There.
there once stood a man who in dungarees trained,
all his horses to run with his denim shirt stained.

The Lady and Her Birds Friends
Everyone knew her as Lady Summerworth,
A title she had assumed from mother earth.
She was rich, did what she liked, spoke to no one.
She'd have her breakfast and left when she was done.
Then she would walk...

Narfuss the Bogeywoman
Narfuss the Bogeywoman was crazy and uptight.
She visited the believers in the middle of the night.
Sprinkling their dreams with nightmares and worse.
Stealing their hopes, and dreams, emptying their purse.
She visited me on a Sunday, in...

There had been many mighty men
Found fighting over and over again
And you had fallen into a trance
From sword sounds and a long lance.
Clanged together all of them seemed to do
And then the next thing that...

To Silent Symphonies
Down the drainpipe the water clanged,
flowing in loud torrents,
pit-ter-pat-ter the metal sang
a sad and sorrowful lament.
The sky had burst with tears of woe
and sparrow fled to nest.
The butterflies where did they go
when all of...
