Long Fescue Poems

Severe surge regarding thou shalt not kill violations

Fifth commandment breached regularly
epidemic of gun violence in America
bullets fly, scream and tear into flesh
senseless rampant mass killings
rip across fabric of society
buzzfeeding, jump/kickstarting, 
paradigm of mortality.

Since January first

An Unlively Very Stiff (upper Lip) Masquerade
(any resemblance between averred one laid
to rest and yours truly...purely coincidental
regarding unnamed person liberated

Shoot! Nothing like killing spree to bookend August 2019!

The latest homicide,
where gunman(men) slew
dirty deed done dirt cheap
half dozen innocent people drew
minimal horrific gasps, now a new
month (September two 
thousand nineteen)

where goldenrods yellow
with morning dew
encompassing human...

While afloat with memories of you, I recalled the beauty of your soul, the smell of your soap scented skin.

While afloat with memories of you, my mind is impregnable of how the hem of your...

Living Dangerously!

If earth’s life (from its birth) took one twenty-four-hour day,
then man (in God’s love?), has had barely two seconds to praise
Him, while dinosaurs, (their eggs all toast), reigned for hours?
Is there reason or rhyme...

In the outrageous cost for loving diversity in our languages, 
We crave out lovely damage beeping to set off assemblage. 
For the other days ethnicity rules our own darling land
And disobeys the legends' efforts accountable...

They referred to me as Darkness Shadow Canyon
I smile as I hear their terrified whispers in the dark
Float across my exotic fields, in the dead of night
I gnash my teeth, readying myself for 
Whatever comes...

The first time witnessing the twain mountain peaks,
High above the echoes of our heart beat,
Erected I stood, in awe I stare, with eyes devouring nature’s beautiful souvenir.

Below the Twin crags fingers softly stroll along a...

A far away flash splits the sky
Howler rouses a gentle sigh
Fury taps lightly at the door 
“I promise,” says Howler, “My breath stands at war.” 

Birds flying high, fish swimming free 
Flee to your homes,...

A glistening cobweb, on an old timber gate

Rainbows reside in each drop of morns dew.

Thin strands of white mist in the sun dissipate 

A scurrying mouse, weaving through the fescue.

  

Black and white offspring...

What’s in the grass and what do I know?
There are creepy and freaky things below.

All sorts of insects and crawly creatures
are among grass’ most fearsome features.

I wonder what else is in the grass,
seeds and stems...

Americana Panorama
Land of the free
Home of the brave
From sea to shining sea
In between golden waves

From the fields farmers plant
Across the vast Mid-West
In this Americana Panorama

Northern cities touching sky
Scrapers lighting up the night
As the Carolina shore
Echos...

There you sat amongst the fescue 
the yellow dotted posies   
full sun ever growing still 
  
the breezes blew   
at your curl 
I bent down to take you in

Roses were glazed red
My fertile heart to woo
Cankering jealousy did spread
Bright petals now jaundiced hue

Violets were silted blue
Noble ambitions to thread
Blossoms with intemperate juices did stew
Now mildewed petals cloak our shallow bed

Tulips were glossed yellow

Havner Farm in the Hamptons was the prettiest one I had seen.
Black and white cows were picture perfect; with photographic faces.
The baby chicks were as yellow and fluffy fresh as the noonday sun,
Havner Farm was...

Remnants owlish wisdom wafts through nighttime’s purple sky.
Fox settles down with her kits, against a nurturing oak stump.
Meadow and forest perform their nightly slumbering rituals.
Vigilant deer mama is resting in a bed of fescue next...

Pass the field of red clover
Down the hill sown in fescue
Hides a winding, lazy brook mother
Protecting her young aquatic few

The tall paper birch shades and hides my lover
The lover's tryst, passionate desires coo
Pass the field...
