Long Lemon tree Poems

This selection of Christmas carols, in themselves, has little value as songs or poems.  Their importance lies chiefly as a historical footnote, as some scholars believe they may have been works written by history’s...

Skirting church on Puig de Missa,
then down the slope towards the river,
St Eularia's Rui, with path that winds on to the sea.
Past the smelly goats, where poking little
fingers get nibbled, and goat-dribbled
through the fence.

" SouthWind "

'Twere it surely a wind from sultry hot south~
She which 'twere cause for all this night's play~
That wind which lifted drink to my mouth~
What may this be.... the Devil ye say!

Nay & nay...

I know the land where the lemon-trees flower.
Grows, God has instilled in me a chance to shower;
To cry about those sadden things;
To pray for the suddenly glad tidings;

I am thirsty Lord

Oh, I truly believe, nothing...

A funny thing happened to or with me this morning during the 11 O'clock hour. During the few moments that I was watering our lemon tree, a train went back. This was the Amtrak and...

Lemons,
their squeezed
juice
that trickles
down
the chin,
and slides
through
the fingers,
is the
sunlight 
that
warms
an
April
eve'
for
the first
time
since 
the previous
April.

Lemon-
drops
are
sweet,
and you
want
to 
just look
at 
their 
sunny 
sugariness,
hold one 
like 
a little 
jewelry bead-
and 
in
your
mouth 
every suck- 
one 
after 
the other 
like you 
string the beads-

SMOKEY AND THE BLUE JAYS

As a child I had a cat,
A big black cat named Smokey.
Since I couldn't say his name,
I simply called him Pokey.

He was my cat, I loved him so,
A lovely big black...

Refrain I 

"I know the land where the lemon-trees flower,
whispering beautiful secrets that shall soon devour,
savoring that flavor with the tiny hint of sour. 
All the loveliness in nature can never be compared,

The brown lawn may not be an eye catcher or head turner,
but a Rose of Sharon tree, reminding me of the Middle East

and the Holy Land, grows quietly and slowly in my back yard,
sandwiched by...

Who dares to serve me tea with lemon?!
On my own plantation born in heaven
Flowing in the land of milk and honey
For the good of all humanity... SOMEONE
He, she, it or them must be punished
Perhaps eradicated...

A fable

I flew high, but it was hot, my wings were tired
when spotting a well sat on the rim of the well
saw my reflection; yes, I was beautiful, but
noticed a dark shadow behind me
pushing me...

In a small field by a tower,
Grew a sapling next to flowers.
Its own petals bloomed this day,
A promise of fruits without delay.

A cherry tree young and sweet,
All the other trees it'd greet,
And together sway in...

She lingers under the lemon tree
Savoring pungent disappointment
Eager to soar with the honey bee
Far from the burden of bereavement

Sinew and bone rattle with such great force
Yawping at the void till the voice grows hoarse
Consciousness gasps...

A wise elm tree of branches sprout out
To a lovely painted sky in a mass of clouds.
Treasures granted to surprise in no doubt
Carnaging every figure it endures and allows.

Freeing the birds grip of the electric...

The cup
The mauve coloured love
Filled with tea or coffee
Impish and flirty
Richly ripply
Indulgence in anarchy
Fascinatingly
A festival of crimson glee
Agelessly

A cup of happy time
Smile seated on sweet lime
Tempting me to crime
Of misappropriation for tasting rhyme
Between hungry life...

I was despondent that I had to leave them.
Moving two thousand miles away, it was
unlikely that I would ever see them again.
They were trees, but it seemed somehow
They knew that we would be forever apart.

My simple thoughts compounded leaves
The fruit of my labour I bear to thieves
The concentric circles in my bark at every stage
Hold me steady, firm as a rock of all ages

I’m a seed for juicy thoughts...

That was strike two but you’re the only one keeping score
I didn't realize there were heart strings attached

Yet you're still undressing
But your clothes are draped on you and not...

Beneath the bushes and under the lemon tree

Little greenish sparkles of light

Flare out time and again with glee

When the sun goes down in the night.

 

Oh, its the willows!

Happily dancing and floating in the wind

Watch autumn grace a chilly browse,
By Hamlet Place a certain house.


Heed garden thoughts by lemon tree,
As verse now slots a sublime spree.


Here by the way hurls sun and wind,
Watch bird song play a poise unseen.

I know the land where the lemon tree flower
It is a magical place known to only a few
It smells of lilac and roses after a gentle shower
It could be a terrific haven for me and...
