Sorry folks, the country is full.
One of the reasons people from Pakistan and there about

Born in Ireland in eighteen seventy four
He was a remarkably brave explorer
Three times to Antartica he did go
To that barren wilderness of ice and snow.

Once with Captain Scott and twice on his own
And it was...

Tubby in the calving throes

1.
Mom 
kept the  perch 
we caught in a bucket.

And when we took them home
She would clean and place them
In our twenty gallon tank
Where they bobbed in stunned silence
Eyes watching for any white movement.

Nobody cared

Begin the dish with alphabet pasta and homemade chicken broth

Dice some carrots and parsnips, add chopped swedes as well
Endives and onions tickle the...

Past psychological development
describes zigzagging mama's yoyo
casually, aye publicize, (asper

unpleasant memories indelibly
etched, jagged, scar outlined like ticktacktoe
solitary games invariable resultant

Foremost On My Bucket List?

Yo yo ma...though your absence
doth suddenly cause me woe,
no matter parting with
many bittersweet sorrows
long since consciousness unstrung
more'n fourteen plus years ago,

the last surviving Kuritsky
grim reaper enviously eventually snatched,
outliving demise of my...

Siddharta worked hard for the middle way to appear in silent meditation

Above him a lotus flower shone pure radiance from an indigo moon

Ebb and flow levitated cast in nothingness and droplets of wild motion

I am afraid
of becoming someone
who has no fear

A robotic anomaly ...
given a self-awareness blind spot
Possessing a third eye,
which moves oblivious upon 
the treacherous waves of the Twin See

Sailing thru life
with a Titanic attitude
Not seeing the...

ROMANCE begins 
with a supernovae
 as two

hearts decrease space between
walls and fears; the ice-floe
of painful life melts,

once powerful thoughts and
conviction now powerless,
against a force of Nature

If Lust then a brilliant lit
moment;  if by divine...

Waking in this glass-light prison where losses magnify;
painful tear-prisms shiver and shatter
the blue-bleak shriek of air on another

mausoleum morning of mourning.
Grief's sharp knife-edge slitted
the sapphire sparkle of small hours.

Sky-cried raindrops trickle down the window pane.

Lemon tinted phase
gilded skyline blown
by ethereal fused mist 
eager bard imbued 
opal dream flotilla  
beyond tarnish while
flash point chariots 
of gleam-well canvass
astir or astern perforce 
taunt a hued vase 
porcelain image fest

Cletus considered himself an expert angler, handy with reel and rod.
He'd landed ever'thing from wily rainbow trout to North Atlantic cod.
He'd fished the streams, rivers and lakes from sea to shinin' sea,
But he met his...

Half Of Winter



In one corner of town,
A hidden piece of river sparkles.
Patches of ice give it balance.
Sun lighting just right
Gives a feeling of warmth.
But no, it is still so very cold.
An eagle lands on a...

Sapphire aspects
lapse beside the window,
which plummet onto a surface
of what may be untouchable

Icicle tears dissipate slowly
behind suspended doors of heartache,
in which his mind falls faster;
he cannot relinquish lurid oppression

Rapidly descending,
perception wanes in sultry winterkill;
his hands...

Santa learned about a year ago that the North Pole was thawing slow,
And in the not too distant future, he may be adrift on a perilous floe!
That was disturbing, but another situation has elicited little...
