Long Dappling Poems

I shall resolve to leave this
Place now...
And steadfastly search out,
Nestling between ridge and bluff
Amidst the folds of a foreign 
Land,
Several acres of unkempt ground
Fallow and rough;
Upon which stands...
Crumbled stone walls
With an exposed slate roof in
Some...

But we of the Three Tribes live undiscovered 
   In the reverberating stillness of the 
 Three Gorges...
And are therefore unknown to the warring mongol;
    His impassioned lusts -- his...

Parents
exercising totalitarian rights
to abuse and neglect WinWin family governance resolutions
for restoring peace with EarthJustice climates,
develop unfortunate children
perpetually longing
for their revengeful turn
at decompositional bat.

Families pulling through well-anchored weeds
of life's,
love's,
collected and too quickly grown redundant detritus,
hoping to...

Savor the tasty classic Christmas cookies, snicker your drooling

Pleasure, iced with frosting's dappling s of sprinklings coloring!

Oh, in inspirations winter dreaming, I’ve dream't
Of a mystic valley of the Aurora Borealis,
A chambered realm of frozen colors,
Exploding within reflected light aglow,
In the hushed silence of ice and snow.
Here the pondering thoughts are set...

A tad over three blocks down Merion Lane
on the left is, an idyllic Cape Cod.
I must've passed it a thousand times
my own picturesque, perfect, postcard place
couched in the right light, dappling rays
fresh-painted, white fence, ruby...

“Pearl Diving” (Part 2)

Angel fish are pretty, but they’re boring that’s they’re lot
the Man O War is far too flashy, frivilous, 
Octupi are too touchy feely always begging for the real thing way too early,

Springing free from glistening 
Fronds
The summers heat leaps for 
Height;
Whilst drifting obscurely far
Above 
A distant lark now hangs in 
Flight.

Floats down his sweet trill,
Accompanied by joyous and
Uplifting revelry,
Over the black crows nasal 
Calls;
Whose draped shadow,
contemplating...

When the sun shines in the sky and no clouds can be seen
A walk along the river bank is like a lovely dream
Down from the bridge the narrow stony path winds
Grassy banks on either side...

These are important,too:
      Shadows cast by sunlight on the stone fence,

     Dappling my forest floor,

A most remarkable parish spire! and, widely acknowledged as 
Just such...constantly commented upon being seen for the

A Poem-A-Day:
I read today, in a poem entitled "Lion":

"I foraged, first to find the light dappling the leaves,
then breathed into an infinite power, feminine rust,
a coppery taste of salvage, leading me into a canopy of...

Renewable Radiance

Streams of clearest light,
Born of a star,
Splash across flaxen maize,
Beckoning tall sunflowers to follow
With their skyward gaze
Dashing through newborn dewdrops
Creating playful shadows
In the bouncing, 
  dappling, 
    flashing,

Walk with me
for I know how the wings of life embrace you
it shall reveal its secret dance
upon its choreograph of hearts
and so entwined
as if with hand in hand our fingers clasp
together to follow in a...

CHOICES

Blue and yellow balloons tethered with white ribbons gaily rise up into the atmosphere. Take thee by the hand and traipse smoothly across my treacherous moat by way of my safe and sturdy wooden drawbridge.

at the speed of light
on a carousel of death
souls escape the flesh

Into an immersion filled with the love of loved ones
an the miracles of creator's creations..
all jagged questions smoothed to gilded responses
all barbs of confusion...

somewhere a thought is projected 
dappling on all present 
did it start inside my skull? I don't ask

but it bounces into a counter argument 
tussles start
all completely invisible to the naked eye

are invisible things real?...

Spin Now an Angel’s Gown

Dedicated to Father Johnnie E. Ross


     When a tree so desires to sing and dance,
It becomes a home for the fabric of angels’ gowns.

As One of These
 
Voice the blade of grass defines the green internal wind
scattered amid its fields are the oceans of its word
 
Shifting murmurs and laughter in the soil as defenceless progeny play

Co-Exist, Neither Of Us Fear The Knife

I saw the crescent moon in dappling sky
Gentle wind danced about and moaned
Earth spoke quite clear and told the crescent moon
Let all liars that lie now be stoned

fluffy, floating clouds dappling blue sky.

The waves they rock
This ship so fierce
'Twas silent night
Now screams do pierce.

The waves they roll
And curl and crash
We watch with fear
On rocks waves smash.

The morrow comes
The sky is bright
Our ship survived
The stormy night

The waves, they...
