Premium Member Eight Sons

(These would include the younger brothers of Wounded Thunder, 
the character I made up in my previously posted poem).

These were sons of Thunder Storm and “Flower,”
from Wounded Thunder down to Thunder Bolt.
“Bolt” was fast; the touchy one was “Shower.”
And Thunder Struck was somewhat of a dolt.

The cute one pampered by fair Prairie Flower
well-deserved his name of Thunder Squall,
and like another brother Thunder Shower,
got teased, but even louder did he bawl!

Both “Squall” and “Shower” vexed their brother “Cloud,”
for Thunder Cloud by moodiness was led
and always scowled at them for crying out loud!

Great Thunder Head filled everyone with dread,
but the wild son who proved the biggest sap
came home infected.  That was Thunder Clap!

Love Like You Mean-It

Ain't that
What ah-man
Supposed to do
Treat you right and
Take care of you
Be there
And love you too
Baby
I'll take care of you
Some people believe
In loving the one you're
With
I ain't down on that shift
Making you laugh til
Your moodiness is gone
Maybe it right
Maybe its wrong
Ain't gone change the lyrics
To the song
What you did when we were
There darling act
Like you care
Remember me
I am the one
Who loves you
Remember me I am
The one who adores you
Keep me first and
Far most in your mind
Love is a little more
Than just being kind
Baby
Baby
I will take care
Of you

Premium Member Summer

A hot and humid day floats merrily on the seas
As tiny bikinis amble in sandy footprints
And frolic in the motives of soft ocean breeze 
Building sand-castle dreams with playful hints

Hazy hues occupy the environs of a blue sky 
As pouring rains flood the tapestry on the arc
When hurriedly blue herons lift-up and fly
Escaping before the flash of a thunderous spark

In a floral garden tempt lavender intimations
Where nearing their beehives honeybees swarm
Skipping the ambiance of fiery red carnations
Subdued by sudden outburst of a fleeting storm

Above the horizon now rainbow colors sprout
Glorifying the moodiness of this season's reign--
Gloominess takes its place when sun opts out
As sunshine comes and goes, and so does the rain

The long day cedes to evening, buzzing in the park
And there by the sidewalks pink rose-blooms sway
Charmed by the bird songs in mating calls of lark
As sunset paints ruby tinges upon a golden display

Walking Past Me

"Somewhere there's somebody who looks just like you do
Acts just like you, too, feels the same way
Somewhere there's a person in a faraway place
With a different name and a face that looks like you" 
- Edie Brickell, The Wheel.


From the sixth floor of my office, there are three birds sitting on the top of my car. I wonder what they talk about all this time. 

The sun sinks down, reclusive from the longer days. 
The heat dips lower, slipping into moderate moodiness. 

The shadows grow long, longer than my blond hair, which was dyed two months ago. My dark roots are stubborn, still showing. 

While I work,  a what could be me slips past me. It chirps a polite excuse me, while I make copies.

Glancing down  I notice my shoe is untied. 
My perfume of tang and green tea lingers one step behind her. 
My skin trembles

I feel the air from the polite stranger, turning around I see she is draped in costly clothes. Black from head to toe. 

In my mind, my hands grasp at the threads. 
They are thin but strong, they do not break.

Grabbing at the chance of making it out of the doors before they shut.


Premium Member How Could Love Hurt

Skies cast 
     a 
periwinkle 
     moodiness
shimmers 
   eyes full 
of 
   tears
gauze 
   invade 
ankles
     feet 
scarcely 
     touched
grass

Dousing 
      blazes
wearing 
      scars
as 
      medallion
& 
      memories
trophy-like
    tell me: love!
do you hurt?
      terrible 
spirits?
     sensitive is love? 
or 
      lovers are!

All stars 
     perfectly
mellifluence
     equinox 
nymphs 
     & fae
party-free
      bright 
meadows
    mystical 
fireflies
     exclaiming
love
     need touch
assuredly
    lonely
as 
     thoughts 
& deeds!

Dark 
   & gloomy
lay 
     in 
dew
    waiting 
to 
    undo
constraints
     of
firecracker
     And 
swagger
     caught
throwing 
     heart 
in her love fire.

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

Love Like You Mean-It

Ain't that
What ah-man
Supposed to do
Treat you right and
Take care of you
Be there
And love you too
Baby
I'll take care of you
Some people believe
In loving the one you're

I ain't down on that shift
Making you laugh til
Your moodiness is gone
Maybe it right
Maybe its wrong
Ain't gone change the lyrics
To the song
What you did when we were
There darling act
Like you care
Remember me
I am the one
Who loves you
Remember me I am
The one who adores you
Keep me first and
Far most in your mind
Love is a little more
Than just being kind

Shine

Shine
How I wished I was a lightbulb
Or a fire, or a flame
Things would surely be much better
Life would never be the same
I would shine to tease the darkness
I would burn without a fear
Never even would I flicker
Gloominess would disappear
Shadows would not get permission
To come and do their eerie dance
Nor would sadness be invited
Moodiness wouldn’t stand a chance
All around me I would brighten
With my radiance and glare
I’d be beaming and exuding
Cheerfulness enough to share
Charm and wit would be companions
Both of them would set the mood
If that was the case, I promise
I would certainly feel good.
