Long Lyra Poems

Let me tell you a story, a story of woe:
a tale of a pup who got lost in the snow.
Daughter Laura, our eldest, came up to see us,
drove home in a Jeep (to rhyme, insert...

Favorite Carolyn Devonshire Poem

History Rising from the Sea

Treasure from the sea
Golden doubloon
Sixteenth century artifact
By ancestors hewn

Earth's history lays buried
Beneath five oceans
As undersea tremors
Create violent commotions

Freeing from Spanish galleons
Precious metals, gemstones,
To greet early beachcombers
History on loan

Memories...

Did I tell you I have to go
did you disagree
did you stand there on the edge of ether
once more asking me not to leave

I don’t remember

But this once again new life time
leaves me empty
searching emotions...

Your voice was born from twilight's
Breast.
Your name stole the mystery
Of the night.
Ambrosial hand of gold
Bowled along the white
Surf
To glorify the lost souls
Of a time
Winding off with each chord,
the locked secrets of the world.
Orpheus!
You are the...

look out from Hawaii
  where summit isles peek at volcan panorama
  like curious messengers scouting out ahead
  where we spied Oumuamua skim slanting past
  interstellar sliver rock tumbling by our yard

The wind rattles and shuttles leaves into fall
And grass wipes off its tears in the pour of night.
I hear throbbing haunches and tramps of stallions.
Garlands of blinking cowry shells
Ferried long from the treasury shores of...

Well and in the season of the Crows Moon
In the year of the rat and Lyra twice as bright
I was in for the surprise of my life...somehow
I managed to transmit my souls desire and 
Passion...

I see you in the bus rides to school, when the sun is shining so perfectly over the trees.

I hear you in the music I play when none is listening.

a dark and quite warm, mid-summer August night
standing on a rock,I humble the desert's fright
a gentle breeze blows,tingling,teasing my ears
whispering an overture, to requiem of my fears
two lights are seen,shimmering,very far, far away
someone like me...

Deep in the heart of Ireland there runs
A dark belief the future rests on guns
In the midst of a riot in the city of Derry
That sinister undercurrent was in play
It was then  that Lyra,...

Once there were billions of them; dotting our night skies; stars.
So few are seen today; thanks to smog and city lights.
Back then, I thought they were Gods eyes; not heavenly bodies.

There are many constellations; formed...

She went stargazing
in her dream.

As the light of the waning gibbous moon
washes out views of the dark night sky,  
she and her lover stood transfixed, 
their eyes filled with wonder
taking in the sheer beauty...

If we could cross the sunset skies,
We'd never need a place to lie,
Finding ourselves above all else,
We could fly until the end of time.

But what goes up must also come down,
Although in spirit form we...

Familiar eyes trail,
floating like lilacs into
the air.
A soft indigo mends the
moments lost with
care,
I’ve forsaken memories I’ve 
forgotten to forget.
Those ones of plucking and
picking the true
fruits of life,
in laughter we cried
sorrow for our fears,
in humor we...

These two old pups are near and dear;
I’ve kept them both throughout the years.
Lyra’s brindle, still cheetah-fast;
Lemony’s best years, in the past.
The thought of losing brings a tear.

When daughter schooled quite far from here 
and...

Sitting here with two old friends
On the sofa, fast asleep
Watching chests that rise and fall
Thinking back when they were small
Rescued from the pound for keeps

Though they are my daughter’s pups
Feel a bit like their my...

Listen to the lullaby of the stars
As the symphony of the sunset
Shifts to the ballet of the twilight.

The stars dance across the sky
While the lunar spotlight shines on
Lyra as she strikes her harp and sings

laying under the stars at night
enjoying the constellations
the big dipper pours it's luminosity
drenching us with stardust

you climb upon Pegasus
handing me up behind
together we ride across the sky
for a memorable ride

Gemini watches with jealousy
Leo gives a...
