Come in to the Coil


     On spewing wave, our departing ride
     Crazed currents crack, an azure slide
     Freedom mingles in sea foam seethe
     Cobra throat coast gulps river relieve
     Estuary entry rests, rushing ruthless 
     Canoe oar dip downtempo soothe us


     Convulsing closing, seen from stern
     To mayhem mouth we shan’t return 
     Silver silt filters salt, lake lap littoral
     Ranges ahead etch graduating blues
     Drift beside reeds, bird pews hymnal 


     Harp strum seraphim strike chords
     Nacreous nematodes writhe towards 
     Tiny sun centre lace tutus feverfew 
     Pirouette pirogue wet on dawn dew 


     Papery apron snapdragon bonnets 
     Bloom ten a stem syllable sonnets
     Cut log capsule covets its heritage

     Forested foothills fix ship wreckage
     Fir hands welcome hung hammock 

     Cosy ocean recoil, mountains titanic

Premium Member Sing Now, All the Birds of the Earth

As soft winds rustle leaves upon forested hills
And fog envelopes depths of verdant valleys
Receiving a missive from auroral emissaries
When the night that dreams of trills and melodies
Awakens the new dawn of ebullient themes
Poised to wish new-day a blessed good-morning,

Let the show begin, with the chorus of robins.

When day cedes to twilight’s orange, rosy skies
Sketching sunset in kaleidoscopic skyscapes
And stars enlighten kingdom of the cosmos
As seductive tunes complement astral ensemble
Serenading a soulmate in lyrics of romance
Enthralled in fantasies fervently longed for,

Let lullaby of heart warble nightingale’s song.

When spring blossoms on tulips and daffodils
And summer devours apples and blueberries 
Feasting on bounty of sumptuous grain harvests,
Traversing the seasons north, south, east, west 
Where weather’s the best and freedom reigns
Waltzing in ambiance of liberties yearned for,

Let fantasia enunciate repertoire of bird songs--

Sing now, sing aloud, all the birds of this earth
And articulate the splendor of mortal existence,
Lift the song of life, raise cadence to crescendo.

Former Subjects of the Crown

Close on three hundred fifty years ago
American independence
not foregone conclusion,
British soldiers in league with Hessians
witnessed successful campaign battles
admirably groomed unbridled

staunch defenders, viz King of England
fought pitched battles
within keystone state i.e. Pennsylvania
particularly tri county area
Montgomery, Delaware, and Chester
routed Continental Army,

within thick wooded forested lands
interspersed amidst open fields
during closing twelve month period
(seventeen seventy seven)
following drafting
Declaration of Independence

bloody campaigns challenged
general George Washington
eminent Virginia homeboy
(born February 22, 1732
Westmoreland County),
he throve spectacularly,

when his metal (albeit military)
severely contested throughout
successful battles and/or defeats
acquiring near legendary
(rock star status)
even among sympathizers

for English rule
some ordinary everyday
quotidian country folk
inclined to side with the enemy,
unlike unfettered, unquestioned,
untrammeled...patriotism

trumpeted today (yeah right),
approximately (my benchmark)
twelve generations removed
(hypothetically asserting
twenty five orbitz
around sun equals cohorts

during Colonial America era),
said lauded first founding father
possessed inherent instinct
to rouse enthusiasm
ragtag army initially displayed
attendant with birth pangs

oven inchoate nation, whose
patriotism starkly divided
and easily bled
toward royal dominion
many occasions turning rogue
surrendering secret information

renegade subsequently
fought alongside Redcoats
thus, twas a fluke of circumstances
outstanding English brigades
topped off with
dollop of allied troopers

experienced starved resources
literally costing motherland
arm and leg
to sustain outnumbered,
less skilled colonial rebels.

Premium Member The Dreams of Anemone

 The forested , odorous moonlight
       is bedecked with an unparalleled  dream. 
  It shields the colored, mazy
   track from the fettered,
  chained grass.
The gory river gleaming 
in the miscellaneous mirror.
 the glittering  dreams
sparkle  like  an oracular,
     ,  eventide
 Kissing the ideal,
  heterogeneous rill
I feel an unwavering
felicity.....
The waned brook  shines
like the vanity of earthy
emptiness.

  Ceaseless blissfulness
          pours in a still river.                             
   An unassuming, meek.
      pathway is like  a brave
course.
The pebbled violet dancing
in the
 forested rainbow.
The everlasting, 
eternal light surpasses
    the dreamful serenity ,
The unruffled unrelenting Hill
gaze at a melodic ,flowery sunrise.

Soft Green

Soft Green

               moss will cover all
               shy fungi nestle in deep
               layers of dim shade


           GINSU-KNIFE       EASTPORT   , MAINE   USA   

    I know this spot well.  Its on the forested seashore in the
      farthest eastern corner of the USA. The spring is bubbling with sweet water
       amongst the ferns.
   Seasons bring waves of blossoms and greenery  and gold
   Day lillies linger for weeks.. The lupine trumps all. Pick a color.
      The old timers all call that slice of rocky woods The Heritage.
       We still dont know what the lights at night are all 
about on Smalls Island, across the cove. Its empty ....  ???

Le Creame

Which is defined among both parts in equal and ample scholar8ng.
In a place that has never been fertilized of who soils has no depths of fertility.
Which courses speaks to generations. Each point meets futuring. The spokes of cantaring where cantrixing differs the inspirations of gathering. She stood guarded as her husband stood there.Inspiration was noted, but to the guarded nature of wedded biss, causes us to notice such differences.

"The buckling irons of the dense forested orchestrated collaborated soundings.The maples of Godbout. The sappy sweet, syrupy
Sweet mentions of mornings, might middays supper be satisfaction lunches 
. And the darkness of evening cloak our romantic need for one another."

Premium Member Storm Over the Glen

Through my living room window
I see the most beautiful glen
With granites of grey
Towering up to a Ben

Greened spreads of heather
Purples and white
Amidst an ocean of green
A most wonderful sight

Forested slopes
Carpet the glens sides
Whilst a sparkling river
Centers the great divide

I look to the skies
As they turn battleship grey
An impending storm
Is heading my way

It looks like the glen
Is in for one hell of a night
The last storm we had
Was an explosive delight

Fork lightening, thunder
Obscured by clouds
One follows the other
Arcing out loud

I await the winds
And the vertical rains
Lashing with force
Against my cottage panes

Suddenly, theres a massive roar
More powerful than i have heard before
A sheet of lightening lit up the sky
Capturing the Ben of granite high

This man of old, caught in silhouette
Standing guard over his beautiful glen
This icon, this keeper of the Saltire Blue
Stands tall and proud like Highland men

Hours pass as i look on in awe
From my cottage window through the rain laiden panes
The power of nature in many scenes
Drums and a light show washed down with champagne

Premium Member Contemplating Harriet's Winter Run

Rainbow leaves have begun
Their carpeting of the earth’s floor
Leaving weird-looking naked branches;
Their abandon nests no longer with tenants.

As their waters approach crystallization,
Pond populations are on the decline
And what use to be thick blinding forests
Now yield visibility to once hidden curiosities.

No longer are heard cheerful morning avian choirs
Nor the nightly symphonies of the frogs and crickets,
And the 24-hour cycle seems to pass by in strange stillness
As ground creatures appear to have quietly gone deeply under.

Forested does and bucks leisurely roam the roadside
To now feast on tasty salt-seasoned grass of the season;
Above in the chilled spaces of the quiet blue sky,
Drone soaring buzzards patiently awake the roadkill.

Wrapped in my sitting blanket, my feet in warm furry slippers,
I sit here with my eyes flooded with warm fireplace flames—
Trying to imagine how the Underground Railroad was able to
Crawl mountains, run through valleys, and wade winter rivers.

Premium Member Sins of Educational Omission

Great sins of omission
are not in anyone's book of
What I Plan To Do When I Grow Up.

Henry Ford,
his automated
and then incorporated
financial investment company,
did not intend to emancipate us
from family farms,

Thereby disenfranchising
our sense of secure 
and fertile wealth health,
interdependently sufficient
organic homes,
silent rhythmic rural memories,

Fading views and feels of cannons
pulled by slow-marching horses,
mules,
plodding oxen,
ghosts of elders past
monoculturing aggression
at slower blade-drawn pace

Sometimes domestically violent.
Sometimes military chronic stressed
LeftBrain against Right's longer kinship memories.

And sometimes more polyculturally enriching
rural WiseElder tree memories
of nurturing ponds
and domestically peaceful milk cows,
curious cats,
tribally defensive, 
and embarrassingly rutty, dogs,
horny yet happy crickets,

Flirtatious cycling
recycling moonlight
and radiant enlightenment of daylight
and dualdark co-relational resonance
of night play.

To sustain Original forested home
and extending family
we need parental and school support
for cooperative resilient communities,
secure and healthy homes,
habitats,
wombs.

Whether rural
or suburban
or urban

But mindful
that rural tribal homesteading
and cooperative diverse economies
and multicultural politics of healthy nurturing,
solidarity with home place
and wealthy polyculturing kin,
mutually share one
humane-divine ZeroZone Planet

Inside calling us back and forth
toward Polyculture Zenithing EarthSoul
embodied within
GaiaEarth

Ecologically gracing nutritional homes
poly-theologically re-membering health within.


Trivializing grace of WinWin commission
co-arising global communion
is not in my book of
What We Have Hoped To Become.

Or even in my textbook studying
What I Missed In School
