A Former Great Nations Squandered Wealth I
Swept up into piles; everywhere
Abouts; in collected heaps all
Around.

Streets were strewn...

The Village On the Water Iii
Shallow-pitched tiled rooftops sparkle vividly
When lavishly sprinkled with needle-shaped grains
Of shattered mutton-fat nephrite;
There, clinging forlornly against the hanging grey
Smoke, tinged with barely...

I Heard Something On the Wireless
I heard something on the wireless
As i went about my day,
Some new strain of virus
In some province far away.
I didn’t pay much attention
As it seemed a distant threat.
Well that was my contention
So I didn’t break...

The Lady In Green POTD
I was a zealous fashion designer, whose elegant styles were ever in vogue,
Like the rainbow time of cool, damp evening, that elegant colors go rogue.
Lost in my work, I took it seriously, for creating something...

Alliteration
Dithering With Hesitation On Brink of Abysmal Precipice
Infinite pitch black void zooms,
I vacillate to pitch headlong (head over heels)
where freedom looms
large (think) cosmic size grand canyon grooms
espouses, and cloisters unbridled wedded bliss
structured sound of silence booms.
Dawdling against inevitable fate
temporarily holds in check...

The Sublime Cavalcade of a Holy Ghost ( Part Two )

planted trees that you will never see grow
and we have been a sunburst from clouds that shone
with the watered light of rainbows
Though you have cried...

Still Dithering With Hesitation On Brink of Abysmal Precipice I
Infinite pitch black void zoomed,
I vacillated then pitched headlong
(head and knobby knees, over heels)
where skeletons in shuttered closets roomed,
and antithesis of freedom loomed
large (think) cosmic size grand canyon groomed
courtesy the once mighty Mississippi,
now barely a...

Life Could Not Be Better
You came into our lives a spark.
A blur of chestnut red,
Igniting us with canine love,
And nestling by our bed.
Chasing swallows in the park
That teased you in their flight,
Relentlessly you chase them...

The Bard of Gort
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...

Tired of Feeling Sleepy Today August 17th 2019
Tired of feeling sleepy today - August 17th, 2019
Lashed with fatigue,
eye cannot fend off lethargy
hazy, hot, humid weather zaps
mental physical, and spiritual energy
even men of cloth
various and sundry clergy.
Undoubtedly summoning Parson Brown
currently out of season,
though...

Raised By Everyone
When I was a child everyone’s mother on my block corrected me.
Every adult in the neighborhood watched me vigilantly, carefully.
Watching for me to do something wrong,
So they could call my mother.
On the way to school...

Vagabond Reveries
Vagabond Reveries
I awoke one apple-ripe autumn afternoon,
While shifting my necessity to care, dreaming,
To gaze upon the twisting trail in reveries of untethered reality
A quest for halcyon enigmas that chased me into cloudy castles.
And...

Stupidity 2
Dry and dry, bereaving so
I wait for the sun to let it be
Words that didn't have far to go
Been a long time since you and me
Gross solitude with sexy scars
Careless, the crumbled sheet is torn
Muffled...

Marbled Vanity
I live my life in moderation
so I can afford the extravagance
of dawdling in dreams.
The price of creativity is idle time spent
longing for depth,
with words in my hand
and though there's nothing crucial to say...

Dragons, Dragonflies and Hufflewinks
While Skye danced free among daisies and daffodils, cloaked in mink
Unwary daydreams of a princess in exuberance singing and dawdling

The wicked sorceress on her fiercest dragon, captured...

Chopstick Chatter
A Chinese lad was at table dawdling with his pork and rice.
This upset his mama-san who reprimanded him in a trice!

And she continued to berate him...

Ode To Narnia
All the animals were in sync
Whispering, singing
And speaking with such ease
They rejoiced in the light
Of the fresh dawn
And the caress of the moon
They lingered in the winds
Of laughing pleasures
Soothing away worries and depression
They warmed themselves...

Disconnected
Disconnection dissects her dawdling brain;
Isolated from the world around her she stands alone,
A solitary tear bejeweling her translucent skin
She doesn’t reach up to brush it away
Instead she smiles, sadly, at the faces around...
