Long Regrowth Poems

The magic disappeared.  The lead Troll's hand fell through the air where the magic was released and he lost his balance almost falling to the ground.  He hesitated feeling the emptiness in front...

I’m from liberty and justice; kindness and sadness. 
I’m from freedom and victory; presidential elections and offices.
I’m from celebration of freedom and fireworks; and a wonderful melting pot. 
I’m from an eagle and an anthem,...

The afternoon's a fire, but my head still frozen to the pillow.
The fan blows soft and I lay softer.
Without a signifier I'll get up for the 4th hour in a row,
I'll stay ignorant to all...

It is gone forever now, a swirling mote of dust, 
  above the hills and fields, memorial fleck of dying love, 
vanishing from tear swept sight, away from the world, 
  oh how...

Their numbers drawn, the backwards lottery
Almost none were aware they were playing

Assaulted by the poisons that save them 
Hairless children with steroid-swollen cheeks
Feared stigmata of chemotherapy
Daily valiance, heroism unsought

Magic bullets are a relative thing
Modern wonder...

Seed - scattered strewn or downtrodden.
Grain stuck on passive flytrap mucus.
Wild life biomes ripe with  open sesame.
Frantic birth pangs stiffen their gestations as green  leaf ferments bubble underneath.
Mother of all wombs, diva pulse...

An Anthem of Spring
 Evelyn Pearl Anderson

The third month of the year
Visions of snow leaving
Green colors coming on trees;
Springtime begins blooming

Giving meaning to the word “spring”
Derived from old English “springan”
Meaning to spring forth as in...

A goat without blemish
And creepers and verming
Are inserted in its mouth
Then all it's orifices are bound
The ancients sewed them up
And it driven to the wilderness
To carry away the sins of the masses

You took the fall...

Will you be my tomorrow?
When the sun creeps languorously
Red and purple swirls,
golden tentacles stretching,
stretching to embrace the spreading wings of birds aflutter
as they draw towards those very life giving limbs as they
burst through the skies...

I moved onto the farm when I was eleven, 
To the farm eroded of trees.
I’d stand on the hill in the middle of summer, 
Unshaded in a blistering breeze.

Then the winter shook hands and my...

(An Addingham poem)

‘There!  Where every curve
injects another memory.’

Analytic beauty that
nestled in verdant valley
allows the mind to review,
where archaic dry-stone walls
enhance the ancestral ghosts,
impeccable trees, nature’s
guardian to one’s heady days,
inscribed when lovers called.
Now historic brows...

Spring rain came for the sixth day in a row, leprechauns were dancing.
Brownies crept out of their mentor’s worm holes to prance along. 
The fey love April, for she is the greenest month, and green...

POISONS

Boldly betrayed by my body
It came so fast
Poison coursing through my veins,
My Source, my Self,
Frightening and sure, traveling it’s way
Through me, 
Out to get me from my Life,
Taking my blood and twisting ugly 
Mutations into...

it feels deeply disingenuous,
      making plans with a person you know you don’t truly want to share a future with

perhaps i’m more selfish than i let on

Suppressing joy of instruments for Lent
Bothers me more than I knew for I did not realize
Even the bells had to be silenced.
I love that sound
Church is nothing without it
Did not know it
Until Lent

Gave up chocolate

Winter February finalises, 
his tenure o'er, so oft unkind, 
let Winter withdraw with firm good-bye. 
Hence I eager look to milder clime. 
Comes March, thus inclined to breezy moil, 
tulips and head held high daffodils
Springs...

The Vernal Equinox

Welcome to the vernal equinox,
a time to move hour forward all our clocks.

Regrowth, rejuvenation and rebirth,
A zest for life and lust for all its worth.

As warm winds kiss away the cold and freeze,

How mighty did she stand
 tall and regal, stately on the land
within her branches stretched
 a view along the earth's great edge
in the curve unseen lay God the architect;
 but life itself is dealt within...

It was yet another day
Tossing my bag in the car and driving away
Dodging through the busy streets
Amidst the tyre screeches.

 

We thought Corona was at bay,
But still the virus crept its way,
Leaving us short of breath
Torturing...

what is this i see
a piece of trash lingering next to me
discarded and blue
a wrapper so full of
of memory
of rememberance
of shine and the spectacular
of laughing children
it's so venecaular
because smiling
faces are rearraging
heartful changes
of turning six
and growing...

The spring morning casts a thousand bits of sunlight.
They shine like diamonds as the caress the morning dew.
Tiny bright rainbows
Colorful prisms I see
They are all for me
Regrowth, rebirth, new sprouts are everywhere.
They come up from...

Celebration 





Spring Equinox arrives 
The time for rebirth, rejuvenation
resurrection and regrowth,
Festivals of Holi and Easter,
Vivid hues of green 
and vibrant colours of flowers,
Crops will sprout,
Buds will swell,
Birds will mate
and young ones born.
Goddess in all blossoms...

When hurt descends from the tree of life and

The stepladder breaks straight onto your pain

A trampoline turned jo-jo strangles creeping ivy

Entangles in trapezes and dreams of surrender


Pick me up where I have buried my wounded...

Whence the tears descend from the heavens
  to the thirsting earth which forever more
feeds the timeless paths of the rivers
  to the deepest, darkest ocean floor;
there the fragments of these mortal coils
