Long Nasturtium Poems

As warm gold regularly wanders a blue world, focusing on each vibrant detail.

I had tramped so many interesting paths, both the famous, and the...

Inside my mailbox late last month; nine packs of seeds - a mystery!
I hadn't ordered anything, but curious was I to see
what might become of planting them. So grabbing trowel, hoe, and rake,
I set about...

A flower beginning with A is easy you see, an Aster I would sow
Bluebells of every colour and size in most gardens grow

HOW CAN I PRETEND ? 
PART 3

Pretence lies coffined 
as Spring makes a call
early chincherinchees 
kissing late winter’s wind
knowing empty cupboards

wild lashes of winter wink
wandering flakes
soundlessly sow

Three wiggle flame fingered fringe

TRUTH 2

Truth came to stroke, hold with joke
sprinkle justice and joy
transform lies with tears
lift hearts from holes
with bells on her toes

Out of the dirt, up the stairs
eating mushrooms with dare
breath in human hair 
listens to...

Asking neither names, nor historical periods, Clio draws wide circles of popular masses around square lonelinesses. What's all this noise about? A rich man’s circumference is longer than a pauper’s one! Down with circumference! Fortunately,...

Spring is coming soon  - and thank the Lord!
Resplendent blossoms renovate each tree.
It cannot get here quick enough for me,
Nor does it linger long. The shining sward
Gleams, garlanded with daisies.  Every pond
Is laced...

Oh, my garden!  Pretty growing,
the sweet purple pansies tumbling;
painted petals just so lovely.
All my flowers like it sunny,
and green nasturtium are creeping.

White winged sweet pea tendrils twisting,
orange butterfly weed sprawling;
golden bees drift- yellow fuzzy.
Oh,...

In her garden, with the humid scent of every rose
looking over amusement's risk and welcoming desire
I wish to find myself with you.
Singing shoulders, with your hand upon me in the sun
breaking peace like bread at...
