Long Rondo Poems

that farms use to advantage! Time's fishermen sailed
both with tides and fair breezes offshore in their boats
at each dawn and dusk's onshore brought home each day's...

I hate masks but I wear them.
Fogging my view with each breath
They...

(Tho' I'm findin' such days fewer and farther in between!)

Low below the foaming seam,
Slowly grows a bright red gleam,
Only known in my own dreams,
Lonely drone of evil schemes.

It swims fast, it wont last,
But right now it's forever,
It kills me, it always sees,

High-tone enamel meets low double bass.
Pale yellow roses, peaches and grapes.
Clarinet colors tint saxophone shapes.
Citrus in concert, lemon and...

Catena Rondo
-alice-

I've gone so far away, it's not a laughing affair.

Like the vein and blood or flesh and bones nurture each other,
Strings and skins and woodwinds,...

We lace our boots to go outside.
The forest sings its siren song
and beckons us to come along;
we lace our boots to go outside.

The forest sings its siren song,
a primal tune that resonates
and eagerly anticipates;
