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...

In the middle ages
these roughed and scuffed decades
between newborn crocus snow-melt-nursed and
dried hydrangea blooms sepia-skinned and papery thin
I earned the right to wear sapphires
and burn my mademoiselle mistakes with wisdom-fires

it took me a while to...

The days swiftly passes by like lightening  rod exploding in  the sky, the winter breeze fades away, ushering  in the living Spring and I watch the universe at work rekindling  the...

TIS thine bottled tat's tasked whence be thine edge
Be naught in wallows dew supine vogue cast
Youth triumphed hour as a young promised fledge
Barkeeper, be thoust days numbered--till asked
All stand 'tis proper thine talents measure
Skills they'd...

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...

The avalanche crashed   an ax from nimbus peaks
these shrouds a pall   a maul splitting my shield
this smur slurs my weakened war paint

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...

As I lay in sleep's sweet caress,
she places a kiss on my lips.
And as her moist lips gently press;
I feel a movement in her hips.
With a playful tug, her bra slips;
and smiles instantly fill the...

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'm primarily known for my poetry
inked in cerebral colors of abstract thoughts.
Yet, there is a complexity concealed within me.
My totality runs surprisingly deep.
You must meticulously disassemble and examine
all my puzzling parts to understand me.
I'm a...

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...

I am empty of empathy
come sympathise with me
Cue the violins,
or just fiddle
like a bad-tempered Roman

Offer me hope:
bring flamboyant symbols,
cheap gold pendants with wings
Maybe a big gaudy 
unflappable albatross
nothing too flash,
mind you!

Take my hand,
lead me towards...
