THE CHIMNEY
The once fine air, refreshens with dust
Between the village horizon and crest
Since the sailing of a death chemical chimney.

Young green plants seedlings growing on slope
Are left to sip these  carcinogenic dusts, sapling
And entwined...

Cry Wolf

Searchingly,
I peered into your sky painted eyes
without fully understanding what I might find,
but finding that which I might never fully understand.

like flotsam ,hopelessly adrift.
And the wind that blows is cold,
and...

When every soul is getting older
And the trees are no longer green 
When the wind is getting warmer
Not as cool as it has been
Is this earth changing?

I love planet earth like a home
I dreamt of...

the whispers
of leaves

now that you are gone
who will wake every morn
to lift the sun
unveil the sky
etch in the clouds
who will paint the rainbow?

I always wanted two slices of ice cube pie
“You only get one”, was the standard reply.
I don’t know why I did
But since I was a kid
It was my favorite treat on the Fourth of July.

And I sing by hunger or cold 
I think,it’s paintfull the process, 
That without you I’m melting 
Buckets of hot blood are licking 
Thoughts as birds fly...

If I could take away the pain
and make a story change track,
If it could stem the flow of tide
to chase the darkness back

Like wood in the cold my thoughts splinter.
The cold wind blows so I turn around,
Snow appears like a blanket on the ground.

Everything is gray, no leaves in the...

But never do I get drunk 
Except one time in my early years... 
When I was a wild teen-age punk
 
My friends and I bought a keg of...

Get your fudgywugies here is screamed
Heard clear emerging from the tunnels
Under the boardwalks promenade shadows 
Loud and clear come good humor men in white
Ridiculous in their black shoes...

oh chant to me those ancient runes
      brimmed lands lost, long, to ices

Dear Muse,

sometimes
you are dull, senseless, 
paralyzingly, protractedly mute.
You determinedly adhere to the dancehall wall,
no magic spell conjuring 
when melodies swell;
instead, you seem repelled by the score,
whether upbeat or quiet.

Limp, lifeless limbs refuse to be lifted...

I debated with me today
riddling with the possibility
of what I might
feel for you
it dried up all my ink 
and ate my paper
and I thought  If I could 
write it down
then I would not 
feel...

Oh, fluffy delicious breakfast delight.
Fresh juicy fruit in each scrumptious bite
Blueberry pancakes started the day right.

Music, smiles, and candy led the parade.
Horses and old cars their grandeurs displayed.
Bands and church groups singing; and crowds hoorayed.

Lots...

Not so long ago I stood in the sun.
Taking in the warmth and having some fun.
The days were long and the sky so blue,
The days were long yet I longed for you…

The days grow shorter...

The affluent holidaymakers cover the sand
Laid out in rows like one giant band

Sun hats and glasses protect pale skins
Under sun brollies as the new day begins

Calling out for ices, doughnuts and snacks
Lying on sun beds...

The Spirit of God is in the wind that glides across the land-
stirring the tall Blue Stem into billowing waves of grass,
that roll toward snow-topped mountains- 
defining the distant horizon-
mountains appearing nearly as purple as...

There's a chill in the air and the aroma of burning leaves abounds.
The bugling of lovelorn elk is one of autumn's quainter sounds.
Trees that provided summer shade with jade-hued leaves, now shed,
Have assumed beautiful robes...

i
HEAD OF THY CHURCH TRIUMPHANT

You left Heaven,Your excellent Abode above.
You took upon Yourself the bodily garments of mortal man,
Came down into this world, this earth 
Bereft of pure joy and eternal sweet communion.

SUMMERTIME
 
Summertimes are spent in the orchard of apples and pears
The old wooden rope swing; all frayed, from over the years

Hazy days in the summer house, watching the children play
Puppy dogs running around chasing the...
