Long On a lark Poems

T Salamander enjoyed local fame
down by the creek, there with her daughter.

on fire, exploding, through black magic arts.

Every time you walk into my space, 
Everything that’s real about me,
Gets erased.
Somehow, it always ends up
My mistake—
Comatose I am,
to my own fate.
I have decades, years
Not knowing how--
Can I fix this ever,
 If not now?
Every...

   until sight formed slits doubling up as a wink
this earthling stared hard and scrunched brow
   unintentionally mimicking,

   the familiar Auguste...

In no way would my spirit this time me...

In the green Adirondack foothills lies
the haven of our old summer camp,
once a place of adventure and outdoor joy,
and the loud cries of precocious scamps,
their energy you never could tamp,
scurrying ’round on small, rapid feet,
leaping...

First, do you often walk all alone in the wood?

I wrote a great book, part memoir, part novel
Shopped it around, I ain’t too proud to grovel
Got kicked upstairs to a big publishing head

   sensually and auditorially seduced 
   analogous to a melodic aire
this quick rhythmic stuttering transposes 
   gentle natural orchestral autumnal suite

How about a movie?
But first let's go to brunch
One or two mimosas
We can skip the lunch

Midtown at The Regal
Showtime is at 3:00
I have two first row tickets
For "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

I know it's one of your...

Discovered by three cousins on a lark
Ahoy Maties! I’m captain of this ship. 
One rapidly named himself Captain Stark.
But this isn’t fair the third gave them lip.

You be the Kill Boy, when we get to...

Trite query from pen so weary
My muse has blown a fuse
The light that once shined has declined
My fleeting hope hangs from a rope
A vagabond whose muse did abscond
With illuminating spark leaving him in the dark
Out...

I spilled my coffee, on my new suede shoes.
Then I panicked, because the stain would profuse.
Then I noticed, that the stain would blend in.
If I added more coffee, to the parts that were thin.
 
Only one...

while others like to sing the praises of
earth’s beauty or perhaps of their adored.

Live on a Lark

I learned how to live on a lark
And then did decide to disembark
On a voyage which invariably
Would be just right for you and me.

Laughed and smiled everywhere we went
And as soon as...

Island of femininity of the dark,
Floating luxuriously on a lark,
Mysterious face shadows day.
Glorious glow, nighttime’s way,
Waves of mist make her mark,
Delivering passion in the park,
Luna, Roman goddess of lore,
Has captured numbered allure,
Associated fashion of menses,
Celestial...

A frolic in the park
A moonlit dinner after dark
A prediction on the mark
A quick trip on a lark

Spring, bird's new anthem bleating
Summer's eve sunset sparking
Autumn's metastasizing leaves glistening
Winter's first, new snowfall accumulating

Firstborn's, new cry beckoning
First...

When laughter accompanied all our ways

And the world came alive long after dark
We gave little thought about our futures,
Wounds would heal with a...
