Long Prances Poems

Your compassion reveals
mutual biological interests,
a powerful tool
for focusing fertile thoughts
and pent-up feelings

My passion regenerates
articulates
seeks to accurately label
read and process,
attend to your best nonviolent communications,
nonverbally hummed flirtations
of this
our potentially significant
Otherness.

These compassion communications,
positions,
postures,
poses,
plays,
prances and dances and trances,

So, Yang,
who would you like to meet
your psychotropic doctor today?

[no answer]

I'm hoping Princess Yang
will speak with us today,
because she is my favorite,
I must confess
this PositivEnergy bias
for conserving nutritional activities,
nurturing co-relationships,
cooperative ZeroZone centering balance.

Hi,
I'm Princess Yang,

Darkness swells from the depth of the sea,
waves crashes against waves,
the mad sea roars and vomits vengeance, 
it belches and yawns at the sound of her name.

They have been drifting for many days,
entranced with panic,...

Old Jack is at it again, Great Grandmother says.
Her voice eases through a window as we reach shoes on the porch.
At least twelve pair; which is okay as she has eighteen children.
A variety of second...

It wasn’t the life she wanted.
This life drained the light from her eyes,
Turning them to deep gray circles,
Her voice lost its tone,
She lost herself.
Mothering was not a part of the plan.
She was supposed to get...

He is the one, the only King.
All play-mates leave him quite alone.
No matter what morning doth bring,
He tends to play on his I-phone.
Stabbing red buttons, click, click, click,
He is so regal, and oh, so quick!

Let's dance in the moonlight
Your eyes shine bright like starlight
Hopefully, you'll stay by my side for a little while
You're like a diamond in the cave in sexy style

Headlights 
They sparkle bright
In the dead of night...
Oh!...

The Jester tumbled in
with his fancy footwork
into the castle's great hall,
raising his arms, waving to all.

He's dressed from head to toe
in humorous multi-coloured attire
and red pointed shoes.
Tied around his painted clown face,
a funny pointed red...

Freyja’s Rival


( And may the Great Queen of the Norse Forgive me )

The sky a sharp atmospheric
Crystal blue chimes
Reaches to the untold dominion of stars

Crisp light softens the out...

May is my happy month, for she is my birth month 
Some people treat themselves with a birthday.

And I do. I buy whatever I want. Packages arrive...

With clicks and tweets, the bright world at his feet,
Dressed with glimmer, he dances to the beat.
His tweets fly fast, in hope they trend and hatch,
Likes or swipes, trying to find a match.

Living the sad,...

*I've been called a 'shrew,' told I am self centered, petty, and a few other rather insulting and invective names, so here is my rebuke.

When the heart sinks deep
And gloom overshadows
The fragile gossamer of the soul 
Lo behold!
As waves of melancholy, so full of dolor and agony
Sweep away memories, so bright and sunny

I’m put upon to ponder the problem of poetry
& thus, I proudly or, perhaps, perfunctorily,
Ponderously pronounce with a preponderance,
Even a plethora, of p’s:

Poetry is pithy, prankish and perky,
Pertinent and impertinent, too
It’s prophetic, pathetic, pragmatic and...

Poetry prances into my dendrite field, taking charge,
Taking over, taking me hostage
Perhaps I want to paint today, I tell her.

She scoffs. Smacks me lightly on my brain stem.
Makes fun of me.
Calls me names.

I am not...

Glory be to God for dappled things! 
Look, Mina, where the wanton wind 
is chasing the cloud shadows 
across the dale! They skip like hares! 
Throw open both doors, front and back -

All The Time


The pale dusted blue
Washes sunlight prances
Falls in its edges of heat and pristine shade
Shadows
And I need you

Couples old and young
Hand in hand 
Arm in arm
Families pass on pavements baked by the sun
They smile
Like...

the Father visits his son in the dark of day
The son is abed, pale in the light of night
For the sun and moon are witness in this hour of twilight
But the sun is not heat...
