Trust a Stranger

You're walking out the front entrance 
Leaving work behind you 
Forgetting the hustle of the day 
Looking forward to a quite drink 

Chilling out 
In your 
Soft 
Comfy 
Favourite 
Chair 

Staring into an open fire...

The Spite Syllabub

"The Spite Syllabub"



The daughter 
is not 
The mother 

Sylvia’s bees were
left milk, bread and butter

Plath by name
but not 
the daughter’s path

in evolving nature
not the mother
nor the father

Love for art’s sake
Art not for Love’s sake

The Equus

Choice and a destiny,
something on their mind,
the usual resolution
or a prisoner confined.

Snow, rain or thunder,
shut in, cannot be outside,
trapped and frightened,
or man whipping at their side.

Angelic and innocent,
things not easily forgot,
comfortable living 
or their soul...

Frilly Filly's Famous Story

FILLY’S FAMOUS STORY   

Although I am pink, don’t ever think
That this filly is just frilly and silly,
For I am a thorough bred filly who instead
Of eating just oats, for my owner dotes
On me,...

For Charlie, With Love

To thee I sing O’ muse of verse,
Of our world that the Gods do curse.
For what Gods are these who cruelly play,
Their wicked games, for which humans pay.
Not content with a world of joy &...

Bone Lady

Bone Lady. 

Pippa Gray

If you have come for romance, please leave.
Follow the fireflies and they will lead you 
back through the woods, to your manmade path.
There is no sweetness or solace here. 
I am a...

No Longer Free

Oh, noble beast, you stand before me muscles quivering in fright
wanting nothing more than to flee. Unable to break or jump the
bars, you blow steam from flaring nostrils and paw the ground.

Once you ran free...

All On a Summers Eve

The screen door droops lazily, slightly ajar
Crickets croon lullabies, heard from afar
Kid’s sticky faces, betray ice-cream bars
All on a summers eve

Legs peel off chairs, from the sticky, wet heat
Rocking chairs sway, creaking out restless beats
Mosquitoes,...

In the realm of beguiling shadows where illusions paint the sky

In the realm of beguiling shadows where illusions paint the sky,
The bias for balance is ignored, as reason takes its flight.
Disregarding the light of truth, madness steers the moral tales,
Woven through repetitive histories, hearts are...

Harp Strings

A life looks out on many scenes with many different eyes
With gasps of pure bewilderment, or sighs of soft surprise,
Though  now and then it wanders by the river’s sacred song
It’s mostly when it’s dreams...

In My Heart

"In My Heart"



In my heart 
the dark and light
In my mind 
freedom rides

A glossary 
of worlds
where white prayer books
long shelved are recalcitrant doves

held in the palms
rosaries bleed a 
different meaning
when lips kiss beads

not real feeling

Zesty I Could Be Again

Apple blossoms flutter in the breeze.  Awakening,
Barefoot to the brook we go, brightly scampering,
Counting caterpillars discovered on our way -
Daffodil and daisy picking this delightful day.

Enjoying the earth’s rebirth, revitalized are we!
Free, like foals...

Idiosyncratic Introspection

Idiosyncratic Introspection 

Fear turned inward can only eventually present outward in its expression 
Tears are trepidatious when dealing with years of emotional repression 
Lear as in the King was another vehicle for literary confession

The Soul is a Series of Episodic Vignettes

fade out from the camera lens
the lotus bloomed from the broken glass soil
all things came into perspective
as every toil was put into focus

every shard set a different scene
a series kaleidoscopic
following film made of a red...

Country Veterinarian

The old country vet traversed Henry County over hill and dell.

He was a familiar sight in his buggy pulled by his horse, old Nelly Bell!

He served farmers and ranchers for nigh on two generations,

Deliverin' calves,...

In the Dark of Night

The night was strangely hushed and cloaked
by the clouds scuttling across the silvery moon.
The breeze made the night air feel chilled,
yet her flanks were covered in sweat
as she strained, muscles quivering and chest heaving.

Just Horsing Around With Limericks

(sorry, Tirzah, I could not do a nice long poem on horses.
I just felt like doing some silly limericks playing off expressions
for horses. Thanks for the inspiration!)

My Tranquil Drug

Humbled by the architecture of the naked trees
Solid, tranquil, every reaching as I climb
Higher towards the southerly breeze

In Beaulieu, when it rains mother can be seen
Dashing out between...

I Ask Thee Why?

If it be truth 
and truth thy goal 
why doth thee shy away 
from heated, flyin' hooves - 
when yearling foals kick high above 
the rooves into the sky? 

If it be truth in fine...

Frank Stella, Delehanty Stock Farm

All aboard this train of thought,
where thoroughbreds are sold and bought,
mares are bred and their foals taught,
raised and fed, turned out and caught,

For all to know, this train of thought,
inspired my soul, one rainy night,

The Brumby 6-25

The brumby of Australia, not known to be well bred
Some are tough as leather, but that not often said
More criticised that praised, for damage that they do
Muddying the waterholes, as cattle never do
