I blame me brother for the likes of this predicament,
when we pub crawled up to Bunyip, and where our night was spent.

China Tour Diary Moment #2
--------------------------------
AZURE MOUNTAIN GORGE
Mile after mile we take the China roads;
Highways beckon now as our tour meanders;
Vistas speak beauty as coach bears our load;
Silence fills endow as wind blows plunder.
Springtime in China...

An Open Shut Case
I was an experienced interior designer, whose specialty was outer doors,
Ever opening to amber sunshine, as petals open, when vivid beams pour.
Functionality and beauty were very vital, so I helped customers each day,
To choose materials,...

The Trial of Christopher Okigbo
I
Hungry earthworms
Forever entombed in the bowels
Of mother earth
Awake
Defy this asceticism and prostrate
For your ultimate destiny
Lies not in the dogmatic
Steady march along beaten footpaths
Hungry earthworms
These reminiscences of plaintive cooing
They do not placate
Those dethroned, deprived spirits
Of...

Grandfather Tree
I was walking down the neighbourhood,
reminiscing how it all
used to be where we made believe
that we were nymphs in a wood,
except the once moist earth was parched,
and the once white air was brown...
and footpaths and...

The Start of a New Poem
It is a night creamed by melting darkness.
Fireflies are obsessed with secrecy tonight
And dim their lights cautiously, frugally.
Crickets and cicadas crepitate with muted
Feelings, sallying wretched, orphaned tadpoles.
I cringe from traditional horror,
Wincing with the power of...

The Christmas Ornament
It was just like every other year
Trimming trees with holiday cheer.
Like practiced dancers, we went around
Knowing by heart every carols sound.
There were smells so sweet, but I knew them all
From the cooking of ham to...

its historical resonance and genesis of existence.

Well it’s not a laughing matter but I’m grinning once again,

For Young -A Survivor From Flankers -
We did not then believe our lives were written in the sun
And mapped no circle of the stars
Or even the moments brightness when the meteors run
We only saw the land filled with scars:

The Forever Castle- a Collab With Pc
In the heart of the Loire valley
Where the river wends its way
A young dreamer lured by nature
Free of care played music gay
As he wandered along footpaths
Playing lightly on his flute
By the vineyards in abundance

Hidden Beneath the Rainbow
Hidden Beneath the Rainbow
Guatemalan villages have rainbows of dreams.
Magical thought whereupon each soul gleams.
Locked by a culture engraved on the soul.
Harvests where births’ golden customs unroll.
Living antiquated amid pompous brochures
Sleeping upon mats on plank...

I heard the untamed thudding of the long drum fumbo,

Man-Children: Tribute To John Dau.
Two men alone with their wounds,
following footpaths in the tall grass
so as not to be seen
by militia.
Stealing pumpkins from farmed fields
chewing on grass stems to ease hunger
Listening to the sound of frogs
And followed to water.
On...

Yawning Gulf
I stood on the tip of the top of the cliff and looked down,
Though valleys seemed colorful, scenes deep down were grey and brown;
A few freshwater streams were springing from filmy fountains,
Lo, why these ants-colonies...

Magnanimity of the pour dwarfing her...

Footpaths and Foresights
IN PRAISE OF FOOTPATHS
Across the land a web of footpaths weave
The veins that nourished nation’s interaction
Cross chalk down ridge, and sylvan lane, conceived
By feet of ancient Britons, Celt and Saxon
A mirror web of thought now...

Ancient Anthills
They ate the carcasses of worms, drunk the blood
Of ants, pests and rodents;
So did this people who dwelt in these anthills.
Till their ailing bodies wreaked, smothered with
Pain and unrest.
They crawled upon the ancient footpaths
That...

A Day and a Night In June
Rolling pastures of green meadows rise to greet the horizon meeting a deep blue sky,
Beautiful old Perennial Clovers fill the glades and valleys with sweetness and beauty,
Yellow Goat’s Beard, Dog Daisies with Chervil,...
