Long Dikes Poems

Now we along one of hard rims are brought;
And a thin spray on the  brook is fixed, 
So shield to rims and water is begot.

As Flemings, Cadsand and Bruges bewixt,
Fearing the high waves pouncing...

Yes, indeed, Mr. John Heck is the winner with his answer-"Tulips"; His reasoning 
is as follows...Keyboard humor; a somewhat off color joke I've heard, and

XIAO LING

I wish I knew you well ?, I wish I knew what is in your heart ?
I stepped out of my bleak, four cornered room on Sunday.
I stepped out from my sterile four walled...

Innocent child,
wake up from your rainbow colored dreams,
listen to the red feathered rooster,
it crows the early dawn's burden,
hang on me,
dance along with the swaying golden weeds
among the fields of corn,
watch the trees of blue and...

Although it may not be enjoyable.
An it seemed unimportant to many.
Beginning a chore which it's objective
seems far-fetched and greedy.
Inspired by the events 
on some distant shore.
Something most would categorize 
as useless and would rather ignore
these...

RAINS

Rains connotes many things
Rains from heaven is a blessing
A natural phenomenon
It is God’s wish that keeps us from drying
Rains is life giving.

Why does one tears, perspire and urinates?
Why do we produce artificial rains?
To survive
For an...

There's gonna be a Freaker's Ball,
tonight at the Freaker's Hall.
Everyone's invited one and all,
so come on ladies grease your lips 
grab your hats and swing your hips
and don't forget to bring your whips. 
I'll take...

The boys sat on the bridge, dangled legs above the water,
a tractor crossing that lifts and rattles, loosely laid with sleepers, 
rut tracks between the marshy fields as rough wheels slowly pass, 
crossed with bankside...

The Water lives and rushes through

 Mighty water flows as the earth breaks into pieces
 
 earth’s rocks and trees surge as this asphalt land tears and releases

 There is a sound of the earth...

Massil with Carn Mor Dearg
you rear up in massive bulk
Devonia volcano with collapsed dome
proud you stand against darkening skies

Many to your summit climb
wary of your cloud chambers
us mortals tremble at your storms
forked lightening flashing deadly...

Stinging sensations dancing across my staring globes.

Unable to blink.

The deep brown of the mud puddle

may reflect my aching heart, 

oozing pain,

but I can’t see.

I don’t know.

A lead weight thumping away 

longs to be free of...

I have felt the storm cloud’s roll
glimpsed the tempest churn itself. 
Watched rivers swell, dikes overflow
by light of lightnings quivering glow,
a bright, forbidding unnatural clef. 
Thunder by thunder rumbled aloud.  
Yes, I have feared...

On the sea breezed side of the mountains 
in my share of the Land of the Free,
you will find me midst beautiful flowers
beneath a grand evergreen tree.

In winter- time it seldom freezes,
and our summers are...

Many times the ocean 
has saved Nippon,     pearl of the sea,
an oceanic symbiosis  a speck in a fecund see.
The dikes of man  such miniscule plans to   hold...

Neptune 
 The king sits on a wooden throne on a turf of
dry land, his country has been swallowed up
by the sea, turns to his premier and says; why 
didn´t you ask the Dutch for...

I speak to you with words
of Forever, and Always; call
to you, using splashes and dashes
of light, pulsing beyond any
common obscurity...but there is no 
code to my caring – beaming
slip-less slides, and raging currents 
of timeless...

A Sea Dirge

I once saw, where the horizon ends, 
a ship ploughed the sky. 
White tears on pale blue, 
I saw the waiting darkness; 
I knew, before any others, 
it would be a starlit night....

I live in the land
where seas are high
and soils are low
where dikes and dunes
are border posts of
safe and sound

I live in the land
where sea levels rise
and soil levels sink
where boats look down
on red tiled roofs
and...
