Long Fledge Poems

justice 

What does this vastly misunderstood word mean to you? 

Too what ends? 

May we seek? 

Who(m) may guide us? 

Endless deliberation (spiss spiss spiss)

Debated and glorified by us all 

Beloved; instilled among (a) core...

No Saints were Artists….



Suckd down a portal incorrectly chosen by disbelief blah and a challenge that is ill advised plays out a lost and a soul was threatened to be taken but should counter offensive...

My name was picked by my mother
Shared with brother, changed by grandmother, leaving me to uncover the truth from another
Not her so I suffered 
My name means Honesty, Sacrificer, and Admirer.
The truth is not something...

Dragon loves his penguins! Oh that we know quite well.
So…Dragon ask for their own little, silver, fire retardant, suits, do tell!
Oh Lord A Mercy! The little penguins dress up sooo very cute, too!
But leave it...

Yes, spring has sprung and the bat phone is ringing.
Dragon is at it again! He grabbed his cape! No kidding!
Wouldn’t you know! Here we go, with his eyes to the sky.
Look out bad guys! He’s...

An iridescent celestial being 
Anarchic yet effervescent adolescent 
Frolicking freely in the omnipresent forest, 
Like a breeze through the leaves. 
Barefoot & star gazing — native & trail blazing.
Like a clever, fearless fairy exploring the...

Yesterday, I saw a shadow dart across my keyboard.
When I turned to look outside the window, 
I spied upon a sparrow playing in the sun.
He was dancing in dramatic fashion 
Across...

Avidly watching for nigh on three weeks
A black backed gull protecting her eggs
Through gales and rain or heat from the sun
Whatever the weather thrown down from above

Long the road that lies ahead

Three mice with a block of cheese and a thick slice of bread
To travel in green pastures and meet lots of animals of which some are friendly and some may...

Dreamer
In my boyhood I waded shoal creeks;
Veins of living waters swirling past my
Ankles; returning home, grinding stones. 
I asked: How are rain drops like millstones?

I watched a stream of black ants scaling a tree
Through the...

As I gaze upon my shadow, 
it appears to grow a hole 
Just where my heart belongs, 
morphs a void into my soul 
Open to all the elements, 
sunlight shines right through 
split second after...

Cause you to love ……………….. the heart got arrayed
……………. With my tiny hard loves,
Cause the unfilled dreams …………. would get fulfilled
……….. Depressions of my heart were swept.
Cause the spring to come ………… the lazy winter...

I sit at the end of the wooden pier near the river's edge,

my feet splashing the blue mirrored hedge

watching the swirls on the depthless water.

In my hand a wild spray of dandelions, tiger lilies, bearberries

and...

Those eyes trapped between thick lines of kohl, frigidly stare

But yet glued to the screen.

Those eyes tire with the glare

But are possessed by a power unseen.


A hundred emoticons fast as a pulse

Yet none stir her...

Lake Wollumboola is intermittent.
A coastal dune lagoon, enclosed by berm of sand.
Its basin a drowned creek-scoured depression.
This tiny lake is perched above high tide, vulnerable.
Its survival lies at the whim 
of wind-blown and sea-thrown sand.
It's...

We are at the world's edge
Playing non-stop on reed
Along the lyrics of natural nerds
Singing solemnly aloud to no end

With courage, strength and gut, we fledge
Upon all it throws cum concurrent need
We put the flag of...

The birds are singing
Declaring territories
For their survival

We cup both our ears
Straining to hear the high notes
A diverse chorus

The morning is clear 
The moon is trading places
With the new daylight

Our daily lives rush
Tuning out the sounds...

I'll not be defined by my mastery of words
inked in cerebral colors of abstract thoughts.
Yet, there's a complexity concealed within me.
My totality runs surprisingly deep.
You must meticulously disassemble and examine
all my puzzling parts, to understand...

Death, thou was once an uncouth hideous thing,
 Nothing but bones,
 The sad effect of sadder grones,
 Thy mouth was open, but thou could not sing

 For we considered thee as at some six
 Or...

Coastline, rocky, rugged, proud,
Crumbling cliffs in ozone shroud,
Sun-kissed drifts of desert sand,
Golden frame of a sea cradled land.

Fishing village, atmospheric hub,
Brass band playing, outside quaint old pub,
Boats, all sizes, rest near harbour wall,
Wading birds sift...

My one attempt at marriage
Was like a union between McCoy and Kahn
Both a wee-bit dramatic
Like living a full fledge grand opera

(McCoy)
"My God man, we're living a circus
And you have jumped off the deep end
What you're...

As the Hedgehog is known for its hedge
It seems he is known for his edge
As he drives in the tip of the wedge
Whether swinging a ball peen or sledge

He will maul you with words aptly...

Songbirds chirp praises to the sun;
hidden in the leaves of the trees,
while the air is abuzz with bees.

In its race with Spring, Summer won;
sweating in the sweltering heat
as peonies bloom, smelling so sweet.

The short days...

Her pulse rises as she feels the cold steel
of the blade's touch warming within her mind.
And tries to imagine what she will feel
as it draws scarlet pathways undefined.

She found feeling tethered to the knife's edge...

Posthumous



Cries in the town
Ruthless to say
A posthumous born
From southern gay

Legs were stopped
Gentleman wired
Your say for today

Hairless palate drawn
Towards to meet two eyes
No words for comments
Because all equal, same play

Dears, grow maize for breath
North has inflated...
