Long Leapfrog Poems

When I was a child
Everything was magical
Full of mystery and the unknown
I read hundreds of books
The library my haven
My home
Hours upon hours
Night and day
I read and got lost in text
They supplied me with adventures
Secret journeys
Fun...

“Azure blue sky dreamer.
Where you bound today of mystifying  days?
Can you hear me through that enigmatic fog?
Your Milky Way incarnate hyper trance phase.”

“Fellow wonderland  adventurer.
I’ve been pole vaulting otherworldly golden orb frontiers.
As I...

1.My familiar crow

A cheerful crow named Matryona lived in her small house.
I drank tea with her and observed,
As she played with a wind in leapfrog and chased the moon at night.
Probably, she thought, that the...

Birthday feelings
Another year is back no longer can leapfrog this day
Where my body squeals on me from time to time
Melanin, flawless, caramel skin transparent
for you to view my friends,
Face ageless, mind intone to my compose...

In her ivory tower, she was raised,
A sheltered child, a life of ease,
But Alice's tale, Lorina's heart had seized,
Her mind now set on a different phase.

Married at twenty to a man much too old,
Her life...

Moon's midriff chequered with light blue letterboxes and legos 
Carbon-dating the museums of our miniature hands riding the nightingale jukeboxes, 
Contoured in concertos of glacier nightgowns and batmobiles...
A topcoat of my father's snickerdoodle smiles sowed...

Life’s Aperture
           by Odin Roark

Notice the light
Or lack thereof
How the details
Falter in shadow
But imprint in light

Naiveté thinking suggests
We can control light’s fundamental purpose
To assist our...

The Ruba’iyat of Créteil Lake – Part Twenty-Eight

Other media meanwhile busy with who’s sleeping with whom
Relying on New-Sweep and Thyme to make loud front-page zoom
Mainly of those who leapfrog into top power palaces
On whether de...

The rules of the comp I'll barely read
Because I am a poetic fiddler freed
I leap about from contest to contest
Clueless why the sponsors unimpressed

I'm confident I'll find my niche
Get it right without being pastiche

This year leaps
Feisty moves hurl;
An extra day styles

~~~~~~~~~


Old condo visit
Caretaker friend smiles;
Tea and chit-chat

~~~~~~~~~


Monday dawn light
Cool breeze hints rain;
Passing clouds wet

~~~~~~~~~


Paperwork clutter
Desktop somewhat crowded;
Dazzling piles of something

~~~~~~~~~


Morning excursion
Procure meal packs;
Monday food fare

~~~~~~~~~


Wet pathway
Stray feats loiter;
Chinese...

I'm itinerate coyote who's mostly alone,
One more 'Steppenwolf' feeling no need to atone
For the life that I've lived (where I've worked to live free
Of the chains others cherish.) I like to be me!

Hard to circumvent...

Most laboratory mischievous
was a petri dish birth of the patent soulless
Retrograde thought waves,
cold stream of computer code consciousness
Clone algorithm doppelgänger breathe
into a body of artificial intelligence theory 
Hollow cranial cavity
filled with synthetic mitochondria propagation —...

Be beyond borrow, sensuous soaring sights;
Move motive mind map, leapfrog lusty looks;
Apt applause arrows, lovely lasting light;
Settle succinct sap, browse blossoming book.
Carve crystal crazy, prime preying puzzle;

Live lovely looks
Bright blessings book
Craze consigns crook


Oomph orders ooze
Beer bottle booze
Senile sense snooze


Go gather good
Mix motive mood
Fashion fine food


Leapfrog lame lines
Flavours frame fine
Muse mellows mine


Do design deed
Free fragrant feed
Waste wallows weed


Live lazy light
See sparkling sights

Let's play leapfrog with the unicorn
Careful children watch out for the horn
Let's tippy toe in the meadow with an elephant
Could a happier afternoon ever be spent
Let's swim with the goldfish in her bowl
Hunting for the...

Today I fall


My heart fills with glee
Today I fall in love
I felt the need to sing
I felt the need to leapfrog
My 32 stay unclose
It as the white bulbs bright at night
My belly fills with love

Mind what you find in simple poise,
Yes just be clear as pattern styles.
Charm now aligns a telling voice,
Aim for good cheer to touch worthwhile;
Listen and heed the thoughts that come,
Must message string a dozen things.
