Long Quaintness Poems

It's styles of a nameless brand pristine day
an exclusive star-sheathed shadow after 
overwhelming luminous glare fainted
a somewhat true-to-life footpath in
a back of structured quaintness

Encountering myself at a passionate spring
oozing its life gliding o'er its rocky...

This dread disease that has afflicted my home, 
This malady, this plague on my house;
This making convertible the former quaintness and provincialism thereof 
Into something wholly despicable and disgustingly homogeneous,
Yclept "cosmopolitanism," and "worldliness," and "globalization,"...

Matriarch mastermind manipulated minions 
rang their hells bells signifying 
damned to traverse highway to hell
dirty deeds done dirt cheap
(names changed fo' malady to remain anonymous,
cuz they got thunderstruck
with psychological trauma).

Preface:
Upon bitterly cold dawning hours of...

An ode to Quebec City

On the green bank of a mighty stream - 
A lofty aerie - a fair city beam
With stately air a queen, she stands - 
A gem - over these most forest...

In this remarkable world without reasons
Every word and every thought seem so priceless
Something that can bring belief into you
On the other hand, it can also rip you heart apart

We learn how to verbalize the ideas...

Loud dins of nihility whirls and twirls around,
Reverberating sharply   in my churning mind,
Humming lowly & resonating strange they sound,
Filling my spaces with patterns and frequencies...

Easily with our ears picked
But mostly with our Feet kicked:
A skirting round a dance floor
Back and forth its entrance door.

No sooner by cochlea’s filtered
Than it is by lips uttered
And by the hands gestured,
As swinging them...

Alone, still jolie...
Because he
Could and
Did enjoy you.
Even if you saw nil and yet
From his strong
Grave, he stands
Heroic, wanted,  and watching
If not unsure, he waits, washed up in tinsel town lurching to
January and the daily,...

Springtime is more than just flowers and sun.
April is drenched, and bees will have much fun.
Swarming insects frighten with bites and harm.

Rare and special qualities
Make us all new and unique
Hair of black, brunette or gold
Accents in our stories told
Thin or fat-- short or tall
A quaintness will...

Turn on your mind and look around the room.
Imagine tepees, dirt floor cabins
speaking history of honeysuckle blooms.

See the Lakota do their Ghost Dance
by the quaint fire of the moonlight.
See the...

The rugged bark of an old tree
with imperfection due to its cracks
is a wondrous thing of beauty
and it's the imperfection that attracts

We know that a star-shaped flower 
does not make a perfect star
Yet it has...

A stretch and yawn, upon the dawn, where golden sunlight warms
Venetian blinds, are wound with care, and opens up the morn
The early dew is drying now, and sun lies on the hills
The chill of night...

Quaintness, antiquatedness often around me they loom,
Menace and threaten me and inject into me gloom.

Melancholy strains fill up my ear drums,
Dull riffs resonates and bring me all the gloom.

Reckoning, estimating and thinking over frivolous, trifling,...
