Long Lopes Poems

Here we are fans this fine summer day,
to watch Trash Can Cats, versus Downtown Stray.
The field is grand in this deep wooded glen,
pitchers are warming up in the bull pen.

Pitching for the Cats is Crazy...

Sheer poetry in motion with a picnic basket in hand 
Laughing brandishing a bottle as he lopes along the sand
His handsome features completely wreathed in smiles
Lifts and twirls me round - my squeal must be...

Above a cloudy jar of brine
That floated greenish hard boiled eggs,
Beside a Schlitz beer waterfall
That told bar time (ten minutes fast),
A taxidermied Jack-A-Lope
With rabbit ears and tiny rack
Stared marble eyed into the dark.
“We don’t have...

The rising sun greets the undulating plains of Elbert County,
Painting the sky in splendid hues, revealing God's rich bounty!
The eternal star exposes the grandeur of Pikes Peak to the west.
A brilliant moon sinks behind the...

The boat of history anchored to naked rocks, to Gods talking 
Surrendered inside a silence blessing.
In this out of reach and worn world
Helpless we offered our souls with fragile compassions.
And in wars we won or...

On a grassy knoll silhouetted against the rising sun,
Astride his pinto pony sits a Native American son.
A majestic bronzed brave, feathers wafting in the breeze,
Arms uplifted in obeisance, the Great Spirit to appease.

He offers thanks...

At daybreak,  
I approach the beach across a soft hill of clover, 
past sleeping Pandanus palms,
and down a small sand dune.

I am enveloped by sea wind.

I look up to a flight of swallows -...

his dense tree occupied domain,

Warmouth watches to the north, feeling the marauder’s eyes.
Her troops honor her stance with silence, in awe of her abilities.
The gift of prophecy is given to her prior to each battle.
She turns and looks at...

To move one day is his only wish.
Free himself of a poor life with his wife,
For he knows he can do better than this.

An awful aardvark ate anchovies against all advice.
Besides belching beyond belief, he bit bitter banana boats.
Charlie Chimp cackled curiously, convinced
Delicious delectable desserts did damage.
 
Enormous energy engaged enthusiastic excitement
Frenzied friendly felines, forever forgiving
Greasy giraffes giving...

In my chest there lied undiscovered treasure
Forged in the heat of life's immense pressure

A heart that burns with a warmth of love beyond measure
Passion fuelled by the primordial oils of soothing rapture

I have sailed the...

They ride the range with horse and gun
Their backs are bent, their heads held low;
Their faces burnished from the sun,
They travel with wild winds that blow.

They go so fast with rope lasso,
To catch a cow...

The swirling fan lazily lopes to its own rhythm
As the soft Spring rain taps its gentle melody on glass
Your warm body pressed tightly to mine
Your embrace comforts me, even as you sleep
The passions of night...

Isaac Albéniz's Asturias, Three Versions, Three Instruments

		I

By Andres SEGOVIA, guitar, 2006

Man lopes up mast-pole
Man lopes up mast-pole

And finds no maiden fair
Who mimes his Asturian air

No more purple prince
who kissed himself
maybe just looked
purple through Jimi's haze
Are tha missing some respect
Chesters numb not even crawling
Amaze has its back to the black
I maybe curt
Never mind me
Janis has a hea
Eva and John seem...

She wolf howls her needs in a chilling voice.
Night listens, enthralled, yet terrified,
knowing she will take what she wants.

She lopes toward her prey, taking no prisoners
devouring those who irritate, anger or stifle her.

This she wolf...
