Long Risers Poems

Once upon a nightime grim
all creatures of Earth dreamed
our Mother was not enough for everyone,
just "me."

This collective nightmare thunderously rolled out
dark implications:

Earth is insufficient for our needs!

We live in Closed Systems of immunity,
heading toward decay!

Past the grain fields clanks the old train,
and it goes beyond the fertile valley;
then it vanishes amid the swaying hills,
not too far from the massive castle
built by the Normans, and it's pelted by rain,
washing the...

The morning started with the sound of thin raindrops beating on the roof and water trickling from the pipe is a sign of life.

The dogs were out and about creating mutiny in the little town....

CONVERSATION

Good morning, Lord!  Thank You for a good night's sleep.

Good morning, My Son!  You're quite welcome.  Are you refreshed and ready?

Well, Lord, I do feel rather energetic, but ready for what?

I'm glad...

Aloha Spirit

Sol, with his golden crown, greets me each morning
within divine rays extending out over emerald hills
and valleys that absorb his warmth of abiding light.

View misty alabaster clouds turn from twilight's purple
into softest rose just...

The snow leopard


A snow leopard is walking down snow covered streets.
In these empty streets, she walks alone, a vision to be seen.
With skyscraper buildings on either side,
All the cars are silent,
The apartments only have a...

Such a devious plan we concocted one day. 
Kind of mischievous in an ornery way. 
The goal was to throw an innocent curve, 
knock people off the routine that they serve.

We showed up early to...

My first trivial tremor experience had been in Southern Africa
And now this puny earthquake I felt in Tanzania.

EASTER SUNRISE

Outside, perfect Sunrise
Service. The air’s so fresh.
Pastel dresses, pretty ties.
Resurrection from the creche.

Birth and rebirth celebrated.
Jesus - our Dayspring on High.
As sunrise songs begin, elated,
Oh how blessed with warming-eye.

The Son! The Son! Salvation
Hallelujahs in...

The internal department of the psychic friends,
Aggravation can find a dollar before it is printed,
Like Christmas tax day comes once a year,
It will take that long to pay one bill,
Ask Santa for it under the...

Memories of childhood.



I weep hidden among the shadows of my stained glass window.
I long for the scent of magnolis when the wind blows.
Sunrise over plantations casting shadows,
under the old oak trees,
with dangling moss, as the...

I have a cat called Ethan who is nicknamed the 'Beast.'
We lost our dear Lucy who now is deceased.
What corner of Hell and what star crossed dimension?
Would garner a creature so starved for affection.

The first steps up the tower were easy;
blue dreams inside red and yellow gummies;
sweet blueberries and sugar to ease a pain.
Mind-painting secret murals on each rising tread
causing need to climb much higher, faster.

Yellow sunshine gleaming,...

In the early 
morning hour
enjoying earth and hour
even writing in the faint light

The birds speak
Sweet peace here
To all who will listen

I only recognize 
The sound of the Gull
Those that are in flight
Speak to me

Did God...

My inner person desires and seeks
innovative words softer than roses,
lovelier than the skies of spring, louder that the voice of Moses...
then see me anxiously run when the cathedral's bell rings!


My inner person needs serenity more...

Poems are chickens
They are early risers
The rooster is your masterpiece


Sandra was not the wife of Botticelli
Neither Sarah, Liz or Cherry
Who gave birth to Venus?


Words are fickle
Go to the north
They will kick on your ass from...

Mostly, she had the heebie jeebies, peaking at early risers
Outside, morning was muted with its first faint flush
Right before bristled being, allure of dawn shook her
Noah's voice and patriarchs of old floated by
Imagine those coils;...

They had not seen each other for over two years
But their habits were the same; they were early risers.
They met on the beach and took a quick walk 
Before their lovers awoke.

They were dressed in...

Hired Hand

Some people work hard but can also be lazy,
Thinking one person can be both, isn’t so crazy.
Being an early bird, may not be to his liking,
Even though his physique could be called striking;

A lot of us are not great risers
many a morning we hate that alarm
wish we could throw it out the window
but there was one with a mighty arm

Think on Jesus living 2000 years ago

The sun rises majestically this clear morning
Shadows bring life to the surface, the ground
The morning sounds echo hope, a new day
A sense of beauty and of love certainly abound.

Crimson leaves, like rubies,
glisten with dew
in morning sunlight

A sea of red, expanding daily,
buffers the steps of early risers…
sneakers quickly wet 
from daily daybreak runs
Stretching out the clocks
agendas to meet
no time for fun

A strolling elder couple

Come, walk with me in this early dawn
while the darkness fades in solitude
As first light appears, and moon drifts on
we will drink in the quiet interlude

Wet blankets of fog will lift away
wearing soft slippers of...
