A Highbrow Hymn, Oh Love, How Deep, How Broad, How High

Lunable to wonder
In curiosity glimmers
A broken man
A broken soul
Never sought
Never thought 
meant to be
Meant for me

ignorant human
convivial sung
Felted loyalty 
Taught adaptation 
Commonly
Meant to be
Meant for me 

Wishful being 
Existing 
Dashboard clean
1956 
Traveling speed 
Undetermined 
Bored annoyed 

Meant to be
Meant for me
Overwhelming 
Unwatchable 
Death close
Born to die 
Glorified pissant

Conformist
Bend past
Self awareness 
Still there
Look awkwardly 
For dull
Witless actors

Directed carelessly 
Not forgetting 
Funnily trapped 
As rodents 
Unbeatable maze
Freely bound
Vaulted sound

Chicot choice
Sound absurd 
Differentiate 
Diverted easily 
Incompetent 
Flawed 
Institutional

Inexpert soldier 
ing pestiferous
Go die young 
Supposed industriousness
Meant of me
Meant to be 
Match unrivalled

Dying repertoires 
purpose bleak
Parce que je déteste 
la vie et elle le sait


The mood of the wirery rodent unable to remove itself from the wall it climbed into made to listen or fall from scurvy or starvation, the point of view from  a dead soldier who had no choice but to listen and judge because he was also a total dick

The time for frost has not arrived, the morning sunlight’s dampened
by the chill of evening dew, the grass still grows though slowly now.

Within, chill copper pipes ping, once again breaking the silence of night.
The field mice come unwelcomed to their winter nests inside my walls.

Morning glories, mere days ago abundant now shiver in the shade.
Dropped seed must wait until the springtime’s sun to rise, to grow.

Clothes in closets all packed high, shelves to ceiling, must topple down.
Release the felted wool, the flannel bright, the knitted sweaters of Iona.

The pumpkins wait impatiently upon a field of green, crisped, vines.
Still connected to the prickling twine and fan like leaves, the blossoms fail.

And, I reflect within a picture perfect room, of what has been and what is.
The light of day’s a graying tone of mourning, whose length slowly fades away.

Premium Member First Time At the Beach

When I was a young child 
my parents would be stern, but smiled
when they'd saw me running wild. 
I couldn't have been mild, 
but full of excitement; cherished memories I've filed.

It only takes a whiff of fresh salt ocean air to take me complete away,
back to my first trip to the ocean beach on a summer day. 
It was a trip I couldn't forget, full of excitement and play. 
I couldn't sleep the night before thinking about the trip to the beach.

When we finally arrived and walked out as close to the shores reach,
after dad picked out a spot to place our towels. Walked about
and felted  the warm gritty sand between our toes. I looked out
and listen to the sound of crashing   waves on the sand,
and gulls beating their wings making loud sounds. Mom held my small hand,
as the cold waves would just threw me around. 

Walking up and down the beach, I found 
seashells that had brilliant colors like a rainbow 
that waves had washed up onto the shore; maybe long ago. 
Sitting down on the sand, 
I built a sand castle and
felt the wind on my face as dad shared childhood stories.

This is one of many of my cherished memories.

The mica-flecked granite outcroppings loom,
releasing bits of themselves randomly 
sparkling as they fall in felted-light they bloom. 

Blasted cliffs, yet brazen, they rise without decree,
unconcerned with the maples, and the birch,
releasing bits of themselves randomly. 

An ashen, sulking, sky hides the eagle's perch, 
and, softens all the jagged edges of the scene
unconcerned with the maples, and the birch,

a collage of layers blends all color in between,
each angle decomposing in the rain.
And, softens all the jagged edges of the scene.

Within the fog the distant mountains strain,
bruised in shades of lavender and forest green
each angle decomposing in the rain.

A watercolor tableau where, unforeseen,
the mica-flecked granite outcroppings loom,
bruised in shades of lavender and forest green
sparkling as they fall in felted-light they bloom.

Jolly Christmas

A
                                                      Jolly,
                                                     Candy
                                                     Canes,
                                                   Hanging,
                                                From the tree
                                            Singing Christmas
                                         Songs around the tree 
                                    Joy, laughter, and love filled, 
                               In the room, the scent of pine flow
                           Through the air like a peaceful feeling, 
                      That puts everyone in this wonderful mood 
              Smell of cookies coming from the oven as the kids,
         Are excited to leave them out for Santa Claus and his helpers
 The feeling of love in the room like God sent his angels to bless the room
                                            With his anointing,
                                            The lights flashing
                                            Children amazed
                                            At the table filled
                                            With soulful food 
                                            Made with love
                                            Snowflakes flow
                                            Peaceful vibes 
                                            Felted from one
                                            Another, kisses 
                                            Hugs and tears, 
                                            Spreading around,
                                            The room Jolly
                                            Tears of joy

Premium Member Hip

How delicately you connect my whole physique,
The upper part and the lower half into one;
Leaving no organ to be unworkably weak,
Uniting the whole like the universe fine-spun...! 

Joining my legs and the trunk of my body well,
Fibers, tissues, nerves, bones, flesh, and blood together;
As a honeycomb combining each little cell,
You have bound the body like the wing and feather...!

Knit into, like thread in a loom or rods welded,
Two bones: the pelvis, and the thighbone or femur, 
Ilium, ischium, and pubis - well felted,
All beautifully set as though by a reamer...!

Like heaven and the Earth delicately unite,
O hip, you maintain my physique splendidly tight...!!!

Premium Member Magpie Murder

Six magpies brought their mourning squawk,
soon joined by several others,
disturbing all their neighbour's talk 
and waking sleepy lovers.

Some hopped and did their swaggered strut 
between a felted flat roof top 
and a guttered water but. 
Some preferred a higher perch 
and troubled nearby taller tops of green leylandii.
 
All the while their squawk increased
and shattered suburb's morning peace.

Two black crows flew overhead and settled, 
one on gable top, the other found his place to stop 
and watch from nearby psychamore.
Upright, silent, silhouettes, 
not bearers of the magpie pall 
but undertaking nonetheless 
to show crow's dignified respects. 

They joined this congregation 
to recognise corvid's connect.
They joined this chorused agitation
while magpies mourned their murdered son, 
crumpled feathers low on grassy ground,
til course of squawk and strut had run,
and one by one they flew, without a sound, 
and all was done, and all was done.

Premium Member Fairy Night, Morning Gold

~The Evil Fairy And the Vengeful Leprechaun~

Late at Night while the chickadees go quiver
A fairy of the forest has fastened to her heart
A bog-reed arrow, white wash dipped in flint
She dances yes she dances, in a conical red cap
Tithing the sundown, to a leprechauns demise;

Not a stranger to mischief, she steels his golden pot
She stitches up his wishes, and spikes his felted hat
She glues his silver buckles up his nose in, far remote
She sticks him on a clover, stewing mad n’ boiling hot

By; Mystic Rose

Early Morning, under the fogs rainbow, twisting and twisting his nose
Little does she know, Lepree's a madman with his own games
Sitting and brewing with a grin, he awaits the chemicals to kick in
A price to pay for stealing Lepree's gold, in such a golden way
He yells and cries, "I hope you dance, rapid like the river away!"

Fairies don't exist! Fairies don't exist! -----A quiver in the chest
For we all know when speaking them words, somewhere out there
A fairy dies, ----shillings from his silver tongue he spoke
A million times Lepree cried "Fairy don't exist!" suddenly--she drops;
