Long Grass covered Poems

Spring
What does spring mean to me?
the shedding of winter’s coats.
Scarves and obnoxious hats
 Freedom, to breathe god’s air.
New life; new-born lambs gambolling along,
 nuzzle mums' milk
The smell of freshness from open windows 
 in the...

The sun was high in the sky, so hot, so unbearable
as the heat bares down, making life, unlivable.

A walk in the woods amongst the trees
tall waving branches makes a cooling breeze

Mystical noises erode from above
like...

Beyond the mountains more steep and precipitous then canyon of Bryce
And sometimes in those mountains are glaciers of ice
In lower parts snakes with eyes like points of a dice
Step on one and with your life...

Meadows are rich with green grass, little wild flowers softly sway,
On a very small wind drifting gently past on this late summer’s day,
You know I walked these very same fields both as a man and...

Embarking on this dreamer's vessel 
to find an Elysium never discovered by Man,
and as adventurous as Columbus was:
enamored with the passion of discovery,
I will find,by error,what other thought was an impossibility;
and without that elusive feeling,...

While the Ancestors worshipped 
   they shot them one and all. 
They thought they had stopped the dance 
   as they watched the Old Ones fall. 
 
But what they did...

gray day
gray velvet
velvet pillows
velvet cheeks
cheeks flushed
cheeks pale white
white as snow
white as paper
paper cranes
paper boats
boats which sail ponds
boats reflected
reflected from clouds forms
forms made by children
forms diminutive
diminutive fingers
diminutive toes
toes cool in the water
toes nibbled 
nibbled peanut butter...

Late afternoon sunshine streaming
Through the swaying green net  
Of this years growth of hedge 
I’ve not got round to cutting yet.
Got to get my finger out 
Because I know it’s best 
To get it...

SUMMER BREEZE

Sweet summer breeze
caress me like two warm hands,
flow around me and through me,
embrace me like a warm sea;
play soft near silent melodies
on the grass and in the leaves.

Spare me the strong, cold wind,
the steadily...

THE SCENT OF EARTH

Modern cities have grown in all possible direction
Captured by construction, expanses of soil aren’t seen
I live in a concrete jungle, our avant-garde creation 
An uprooted tree, at all times I feel suffocated...

Creek Bed, 
water flowing around rocks, 
bubbling through craw-dad holes,
churning, splashing, racing to lower ground,
sloshing about in the mud.

Creek Banks,
tumbling of rocks and dirt,
scratching, crawling to get out of the creek bed,
snapping, ripping of sod...

Summer Has Gone

  The green grass covered wet like tears from autumns sky, the red orange and amber brown golden leaves fall gently from the trees, to be moved on the wind like that...

In Halloween week once the days have turned dark
He lurks where the lamplight cannot leave it’s mark
And late night dog walkers whose dogs do not bark
All steer a wide path as he harvests the park

You left the garden in a mess.
Strange thing for a gardener.
But they say those with trades 
leave their own home last on the list.

I remember rolling up my sleeves.
On my knees rolling like a carpet

A distant memory upon the winter breeze
The spring scent of fertile chessnut trees

So broad and strong standing tall against the storms
Producing bushels of sweet sustanace and burs of thorns

I remember...

Spring arrived, softer than the paling dawn
Wildflowers flourished across verdant hills
Bees were swarming, lush grass covered my lawn 
in the season of splendor, as God wills

Glints of gold sunlight gleamed o'er pastel skies
Bird trills filled...

I care I search your eyes in the morning
when love was found sweet on grass-covered dew
neath' the rays filtering through, now warming
the courting of passions fell into view
How soft the vision of your face at...

I see the sights and hear the sounds
I can see the life that everywhere abounds
I hear voices of those who want to talk
I take the hand of those who want to walk

I see the clouds...

We have given, we have taken
we have watched the blooms awaken
We have ended, we have begun
we've been warmed under the sun
We have doubted, we have believed
we've seen the trees release their leaves
We have gained, we...
