Premium Member Trees

The weeping willows
Their widow's veil of leaves
Trailing sadly in the stream

Pungent spicy peppercorn trees 
Their green feathery hair
Festooned with pink beads 

Crooked old oaks 
Their gnarled fingers 
Pointing in twisted directions 

Rigid tall poplars 
Giant thin arrows 
Forever trying to touch the sky 

The blossoming apple tree 
Petals slowly falling 
Pink snow drifting to the ground 

The purple flowered wisteria 
Ever reaching out for somewhere else 
Unable to be content in one spot 

The graceful ghost gum
The crisp clean lemon aroma 
Of a glowing spectre on a moonlit night 

Prim pine trees 
Dressed in green ballroom gowns 
Still waiting for the dance to start 

Liquid amber in autumn 
Sending down colourful stars 
A rainbow mat on the ground 

The dull silver grey wattle 
Glowing yellow with the brightness 
Of a thousand tiny suns

Every tree on this planet 
Has a beauty of its own 
We should learn to care more

An Unexpected Vacation With My Sweets and a Travelling Record Player

sitting in front of my record player
i am glad that i fixed it and that i found some 45s and some 78s
my excitement builds as i sift through all of the new discoveries
i am in my element
all i need is a cream soda and some peppercorn ranch sun chips

time is nonexistent
people are intentionally omitted
stress is not even a word
life is a free feeling with an open door policy for the mind

i am glad that i booked this trip
i am glad that i booked a two bedroom cottage this time
i am glad that i chose somewhere other than the beach this time
i am glad to have a friend who told me about myself a bit and recommended this place

i turn off my cell phone
i turn off my tablet
i turn off my laptop
i leave the kids with their grandparents
i bring my Sweets for, EHEM!, Personal Inspiration
she is asleep on the sofa as i write this poem
this leads me to this song called Something So Strong
as i listen, a thought suddenly comes to me
A House May Be Crowded, But True Love Balances Everything Out
that is how i feel when i am unconditionally loved by my Sweets
nothing else can make me feel differently
nobody from the outside can change the world of my thoughts
then suddenly, that song from thunderclap newman pops into my head
however love is in the air of my mind, not an impending revolution
i laugh at the thought and love my Sweets even That Much More.....

Premium Member What We Do On Thanksgivings Day

Ocean’s seagulls are magical the older woman thought.
Her cat was thinking a seagull sandwich is what he ought.
Each on a beach chair, they sat in silence side by side.
Each with their own thoughts by the sweet oceanside.

Wonder what Bentley is thinking the old woman thought.
Bentley put his nose up in the air and sniffed, je was quite the snot.
They are grilling hot dogs or peppercorn, nothing I like tonight.
These two sat in silence for pretty much most of the night.

There was a soft breeze that brushed them both gently.
They liked the feeling of it; Mrs. Mom and Old Bentley.
Mrs. Mom got out a tiny treat with an ounce of cat nip.
Bentley went crazy and started patting down his owner's hip.

Stop making me into a nest! Mrs. Mom ordered, quite mad.
Bentley jumped down, was hissing and arching, he could be a cad.
I think this could be a regular deal for Thanksgivings Day Mom said.
And this is how they spent it, every holiday, until both were dead.

Admiral of All At Sea Built From Wood On the Hanging Tree

So this is where the trail ends
in a long forgoten paper town 

Flipping dirty mattress in the ghetto turning tricks for matchsticks all for money lending

Because we born unto it like scarlet vixens in classic literature told to believe in

So bleed for me then place me on
the next bus home 

Until i ascend come easter to master the hanging tree

Crusading forth to meet my prom date 1 day i hope to marry

A journey into discovering that which i thought i'd lost i had in fact not

Wrote aboard the deck of a fishing boat
set to sea in a hurricane no mortal human shall return from

An epilogue to dodging hailstorm
whilst eating peppercorn to warm
the cockles of the coldest of darkened heart

Premium Member Nothing Seems Out of Place


Today,
nothing seems out of place.
The river is at ease between
its banks, those four swans
are meant to be there,
suddenly emerging 
from the shadows beneath
the bridge and into a bright 
arena of sunlight.

And along the path,
an old, bone worn retriever 
is taking its honored place
in the morning, waddling
slowly on a slack, patient lead,
unhurried in the hands
of someone who loves her.

Assembled too in their given
places, a row of peppercorn trees,
a children's playground
and the big, rusty barrel 
of a naval gun pointing out
over the bay as it has done
for a hundred years
primed with peace,

and my shadow finding
its usual place to rest, 
the ground accommodating 
that familiar shape as it does
to a friend. There are times
when nothing seems
out of place and it would be
easy to believe.


White Witches In the Wind

Up the dark  barricaded staircase
with a monitor well focused between their legs
       they came to digest an ego
           caress ten long fingers aflame at tips

Imbibe bright juice
      heal a chequered heart
mount the focused quartz
       don weathered leather
          as African heroes of the past stare 
          through windows draped in 
                       white chiffon

They smooth peppercorn hair
         in ecstasies of bliss as delicate oil
flare their nostrils, ignite their liver
   while township youth play dice upstairs 
         modelling their future on one man alone
        as jazz tunes are whistled from corners
a piano remains covered in velvet
     with a blighted knight trying some stunts
               and wizard talks tales of Mecca
                     then prays on centre stage

They twist locks and slit bars
violet Sun stream in
      all is touched with gold as he glances
at their toes, skirmishes their 
     breasts in figures of eight
              on a path to the beyond
                     White Witches in Wind
