After drenching biblical rainfall
After drenching biblical rainfall...
verdant green acres covered the planet of the apes
like a petticoat junction
donning barrel of skinny dipping monkeys.
Once drought stricken vast landscape
far as the eye could see
suddenly flush with promise
of budding new shoots
and...

Goldfish Wetdreams
So here's my big insight.
My two cents worth,
which will remain worth only a penny
unless it somehow aligns with your penny
for thoughts and shared feelings.
What if we put our human nature genie
back in Earth's home-nature...

Parallelismus Membrorum
Darwin's Double-Dark Dilemma
Elder Darwin swims in ethology.
He rolls in his deep grave ecology.
He itches and scratches his dissonance
that survival of most fitted and dense
implies manifest destiny for those YangStrong
while Darwin's Cross and his own eyes
clearly disguised
camouflaged ectosymbiotic...

We Began Somewhere
We all began somewhere
not our own
and not on our own.
All life began somewhere
within Earth's regenerative systems
not our own,
as did Earth
Her EcoSelf.
No one is autonomously entitled
to sustained ego-awareness,
much less self-promoting narcissism.
Earth began someplace
beyond His/Her own north...

Family Hunting Camp
Great Grandpa Moses first built the old shack
in the summer on nineteen twenty-three,
thrown up with big logs, hard maple and oak,
it only measured twelve feet by fifteen.
There have been two expansions since those days,
a real...

Einstein's Waves
Is space-time a fabric that stretches and strains,
like a grass harp ruffling across the great plains,
when the force of a huge body in motion
makes waves akin to the billowing ocean?
LIGO’s antennae have finally disclosed
those waves...

Triumphant Leaders Part 3
Toussaint they dance in Louisianna, and New Orleans
Omitting to say that these two places are blood money paid
Unto the colonies, snuffing your revolution by any means
Subtle French diplomacy that history would parade
Solutions of lies...

Infinite Flight
Seems I awakened within a dream flying, though staying within
the dream, as an eagle I soared. With wings of immense importance
not to miss a journey, into the great cosmos. I did...

The Senior Center
The Senior Center was a beehive of active waiting
to die.
Bingo
but not ballroom dancing.
Knitting
but not garden expansions.
Physical therapy
but not yoga
and not chi gong,
much less mindful meditations
sung in four part harmony.
The new guy,
just growing into sixty-five,
asked them
How...

Restricted Life
Human life deserves a platform to unfold
Away from straitjackets of pious scrutiny
Whose eyes, ears and hands feel so cold
They reject freedom and project a mutiny
Born from the scorn society pours on freedom
Curtailing every...

Secrets Men Share About Women
I will tell you deep dark secrets
That only men share
In private conversations
Where no flower is allowed
To bloom
A woman can be like a video game
Rejuvenating
Makes us feel like boys again
Yet we sweat and toil
Huff and...

Intelligence V Wisdom
While academics often find
what we are looking for,
a positive correlation between intelligence
and wisdom,
Special occasional confusion
about revolutionary absence of Left with Right correlation
frightens me
Even, and unevenly,
while I am manifesting my best for love
and trust
in humanity's destiny--
Disciplined...

Le Drizzle Aleaf
The enchanted forest
Of Le Drizzle Aleaf,
Where trees become giants
And the roots become feet,
And the sky is distorted
By foliage sheets
Overlapping in rhythmic
Melody with the breeze.
And the trees, oh the trees
A vastness to see,
Abundant in creation...

Wedding Belles
On the 'silver spoon' side of town,
fortunes show in flashy mansions,
and some folks like to hoard their wealth;
others used theirs for expansions.
This old bloke Reg lived on his own,
his booty’s stored in cash and land.

Consciences Are Thin
Dark slide grind
Skating around issues
Breaking ice around in spheres
Wearing gaudy skirts that sparkle
In the wind
People never believe things until
It’s the end
What will it take to convince?
Social issues don’t mean a thing if there...

Approach of Light
One has to be aware of the wandering moon,
sometimes still caressing near the bluish noon.
Measures of days signified by the queen of night,
bowing to deities over wide water shores to all might.
Bringing forward the blessings...

Blue of the Rose
Every colored rose has a specific meaning
you touch its color; it touches your longing heart
The blue rose do not occur naturally with nature
for it is artificially stained that brings you sinister
mystery or a curious desire...
