Long Greened Poems

My beautiful friend
Hey. You daughter of beautiful Zion
Brighter than the city of Jerusalem
Yet I find no pleasure i you
O daughter of Jerusalem
Beautiful than the summer stars

Through the tender nights ahead
Illuminated with candles of life and...

Permaculturists,
like Taoists
and Buddhists
and Hindus, etc.
Consider neighbors
extended and respected family,
ZeroZone Kin,
regardless of zone status
near or far,
regardless of species,
regardless of living
or gone
or not yet arrived.

Dear Neighbors,

I make no proud claims
of embracing a GREEN lifestyle,
making green integrity choices,
No...

It was one of the coldest winters, yet 
the old dog never showed up at the kitchen door 
like he used to, whimpering to be let in 
for warmth and food. 

Where he spent his...

By Cherbo Geeplay

You woke me up when I was dead,
teaching the night stars wantonly 
to obey the Atlantic; then slashed
my arteries in flight to Lake Piso, 
humbling its boundaries, before 
fusing them calmly to a...

I turn to my girl highlighting Mayday is near
A day of spectacle that the whole village views
There's Jesters of folly and Knights without fear
Witnessing lances and jokes, always going askew

To view such we can venture...

I awaken after said storm thrown weakened am I
In awe in wonderment as to where I espy

Fervent to silent as I witness this breathing space
As I slowly rise my tall in this seeing succulent heaven...

The Choctaw
never taught me what the
Choctaw would’ve taught me.

The Australopithecine never taught me what
the Australopithecine would’ve taught me of.

The Memories, these Memories,
our Memories are fading songs in
an echoeless cave.
The listeners have tired,
moved on.
The choir sang,...

The mining company
Has confirmed of a place
Its in the Alpha Centauri
Deep out into space

Their provisional scouts
Miners and Geologists
Declare seams of Unobtanium
In a jungle greened mist

Expedition and workforce
With their military men
Set of to this planet
To mine...

Enslaved no more, I ran to him; lovingly we embraced
     His arms around me, I knew my feelings were not misplaced
We fell to our knees in pleasure, my gown slowly fell...

If it aint broke don’t fix it,
A well known old saw
Which these modern days
They just seem to ignore.
Does the Designer ever use
The things they design
Or is it just a case of disrupting 
So many lives...

Spring in all its splendor has arrived - what a pleasant relief!
The grass has greened and the trees have begun to leaf!
Robins have returned and cheerily serenade me at the break of dawn.
Alas, those pesky...

The feather beds are a string of mountains near where I live, famous for its raised bog lands, where my father and his brothers cut turf for many years. In spring / summer a wild...

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...

It's six days since
the Hole was dug...

First frost clings now
to newly turned earth,
to shunted sod,
to stones, to pebbles.

A grave grows colder
today than yet it's been...
Hearts grow busy, too.
Supplanting last images
with happier ones. 
The heart and...

You appeared before me like a road not on the map
Freshly paved and pounded flat
And I, having just inflated my high performance tires
Greened the light and shed my hat
No sign of speed bumps or sink...

Spreading out my blanket on the grassy hill,
The warm wind makes it dance in my hand.
My hair gently mingles with the summer breeze,
And my eyes seem to fondle this fair land.

Trees have greened and blanketed...

As the sun downs through the trees
Greened leaves bow for the eve
This warrior sits and reflects
Alone he plays, it's his way to grieve

For this is no normal scene
What I view he has brought to our...

The hand of dawn smashed the cleavage of the midnight sky 
Cuddled the moon and flirted with the milky way 
Until the sky missed all her stars 
The clouds became pregnant 
The night was still...

But in the fact that it was barking
trees 
The wind moving the tree branches in the night
trees
I felt compelled to sniff the summer lawn
Compelled so to remembering my late nightly gatherings
Where are the dandelions I...

Visual Melodies
 

Fresh evergreens stand beside

 A crisply clear slow moving brook

Reflections of minnows glitter

 In the midday sun’s warm look

 

Bare branches began to don

 The tiny green leaves of spring

Nature’s ring of promise...

Open granite quarries now swimming holes
Blueberry bushed hills once ocean washed
Soft Birch forests covering up old Dogtown
These are the days of my childhood spent
Traversing these old and winding pathways
Leading me to a time of my...

The disappearance

The Gulf of Mexico suddenly ran into the Atlantic
left oil rigs high and dry.
Naturally, the USA claimed the land which was disputed
by Mexico and Cuba and Belize.
What was left of the gulf had rivers...

Deep in Borneo
The myth was broken
No headhunters did i find
But in the morning i was awoken

Some tribal people
Near a plateau crest
Have finally spotted
The boy's of the forest

I had heard they existed
For many years
In forests so...
