Tropical summer
a somnolent pond daydreams
in spite of the storm

Tropical bummer
a cool, noisy pool dazzles
in spite of the swarm

Tropical drummer
a quiet puddle dances
in spite of the sloth

----

Teeming surface
a lurking panda daydreams 
in spite of the scream

Tortuous...

pains of loved one gone
no tangible events now
lives in silent mind

titanium brow
cranium steel robotic
a i intellect

abstract words
composed harmoniously
mind bender solved

sperm egg coalesce
embryo hidden progress
nine-month time childbirth

space ring of fire
view of moon blocking star
God precision seen

hillside is ablaze
with glorious golden gorse
spring is here at last

lambs gambol in fields
meadow lush with verdant grass
rook collects dry twigs

a flash of white tail
baby bunny goes to ground
hawk flies overhead

Written when my homeland went into...

pulsar pulsating 
projecting prominently
pinpoint precisely

quasars kinetic 
a billion mass dark hole belch
gamma-ray spawned

nebulae vast clouds
tarantula orion
stars hidden

super star massive 
super stellar explosion 
nova temp star seen 

interstellar stars
interpolated light-years
starry orbits

gravity meld
a million solar mass tell

Brave Daffodils

Through half-frozen ground
Push the slender stalks of green,
Cold, brave daffodils!

Warmth of days to come
Will bring the shoots to flower –
Sunny daffodils!

Light up the landscape.
Still brittle, brown and dreary,
Dancing daffodils!



Daisy Dance

Summer flowers fade,
Their showy petals...

The snow, lit, sparkles
Each flake reflects the moon’s light
Revealing the night

Revealing the night
In its blanketed beauty
Enriching the heart

Enriching the heart
With a sense of adventure
Magic in the air

Magic in the air
Stirs my imagination
Excitement rising

Excitement rising
I feel...

the aspen trees
stand in rows and rows frozen_
winter winds caress limbs

spring whispers trees
unfold your emerald beauty_
buds struggle to be born

and in the dawn
the trees unfurl emerald gowns_
spring hovers in the sun
