It’s the color of November, gray blue
weak as water…
	yet water can change the strongest steel,
		the sturdiest breath,	silenced
			by the water’s still, calm gesture…

in laughing swells, tears 
like currants, 
	blistering the surface of azure seas,
		growing, rising, surging...

Sitting watching a June summer king establish his reign over hazy hills and dusty dales,
I could just hear a sharpened scythe's ring across green fields cutting away at the corn,
With the hustle and bustle of...

My mam used to clean at Billy Bulson’s farm,
A magical place of mystery and charm,
With geese that cackled and hissed and every day.
Without my mam I’d have run away
As they charged with flapping wings.
I was...

I heard a wood-lark sing a sweet song, so sweet, hairs on my neck raised,
Did I hear it earlier in the month,...

an open window 
and a shout of girls with blossom sweet basil in the hair 
over 
the salmonoids rummage 
the depth of the rivers 
the springs want to find 
to lay the spawn

Fruit Fairies

Green luscious trees sway gracefully in breeze 
humming song sung by work pollen bees
baby fruits cradled not yet ripen to fall

About eight ounces is just right
A little butter, a six...

Though the winds of hardships blow,
And the storms of life, have rocked
Our worlds surroundings.
You've always been there for me,
As I've been so for you.
Turned upside down, and inside out,
Crushed beneath emotions tidal waves.
We've waited out...

I'm shopping in the town near my favourite cake shop
I need a sugar fix so I’ll really have to stop
I’m having friends to tea, so I think it’s only fair
To buy my friend Patricia, a...

Have you ever felt like a ship,
 In bottle?
Chasing waves as they roll back,
 And forth?
A glass encased fortress that,
 Allows no escape.
Within these reflecting walls my,
 Vessel sails on ward.

Echoing chants that men have,
Song...

Chokeberry bush is gardens’ heart and soul
 As it grows proud and tall
It produces barriers that can be eaten whole
Or can be made into juice and liquor during fall

The grape winding vine 
From which we...

The men had scythes to ring in all the bustle for the annual hay harvests,
We were a merry bunch and we...

Sitting between the knees,
I am being bathed by intense anxiety
and fear of harsh light.

A canopy of doubts
confronts the dignity versus anarchy
for a watchman

folding chair...nothing better to do...

Along the ocean I walk
Picking up stones along the way
Each one representing a soul
Who is no longer here today
Seeing how the memories fade
A tear comes to my eye
Soon I will be like a rock
With no...

Inclinations Of Fan

Ceiling fan mesmerized the day’s hypnotic flashings
Sunlight fractured through rotating blades
Someone must have traduced it with black magic
Or a switch turned on when we weren't looking
False currants of air, created up there 
Pretending...
