Long Shushes Poems

Where is my mother?
Arms legs and love were accounted for
But she was gone....
Broken by Circumstance
Suppressed by finance
3 ton bolder strapped to her ankle, but still she advanced
My mother..
Too good to be true,
But too bad to...

Communications among organic creations
of sacred EarthMother
are overwhelmingly rooted
in nonverbal
nonviolent communion

Complex evidence of things
within relationships of feeling
and touch,
creatures seen
and heard,
recreations smelled
and tasted,
cognitive awareness of purpose
and intuitive integrity for meaning
sacred smooth full-wombed
woked mindedness

We are, together,
at our best,
on...

Initially he is so charming
He charms your pants off.
Bring flowers to your mother.
And a treat for the dog.
He is almost too charming.
Giggle. Giggle. Smile. Smile.
You fall in love quickly.

Your father is not fooled.
He despises the...

I curl up
In the cradle of our cabin
This Friday night in January

The deck out back
Glows
Bright as its own light
With new snow
From my evening muted TV

Cliff an abyss two feet beyond

Lake
A coffin draped in black flag

There...

The air hung swimming with dust motes,
throbbing with heat, wringing the sweat form our pores.
We walked forward through the soup of ages
over trampled grass marked by the passage of buck and doe.

The mounds rose above...

Colin is a crusader, a knight, a soldier, a champion, a liberator too.
His face is handsome, but well hidden, as are his eyes of lightest blue.
His own mother fears this veiled monster when he enters...

Frank frightens the ghouls with his green skin.
Greedy for more girlfriends, he reaches for them.
Lumbering along at a monstrous pace,
‘Why do they run,’ this empty thought.
‘Why do they prefer teeth marks and not his bolts?’

He...

We pass the fire sticks near the police cars,
lit.
Bright round moon shine, that’s it.
The fit,
from the tall and small,
still they’d rather walk then sit
with grandpa in the car.
We are so close to home. Each keeps...

As shifting shadows merge within the night,
darkness devours disheveled silhouettes.
And daylight disappears, fading from sight,
as a splendiferous sun slowly sets. 
 
Twilight's crimson-colored clouds coalesce,
tinting the skies a cotton candy pink.
And yet, darkness descends nevertheless,
tattooing...

dainty gossamer wings 
automatic fluttering
savoring the meadow
faerie magic afoot
on this summer’s solstice

breeze feels her presence
keeps it to herself 
understanding faerie’s privacy
suspecting her mission
wanting to witness it for herself

baby butterfly yawns deeply
settles down for  the...

I see a land completely all in white
Secluded by the trees and the bushes
This place is grand seeming a holy sight

It’s not like snow or powder in some night
The land is quietly filled with shushes

Scents of apple spice 
Vacillating through the wispy breaths of air
Hide through the crispy iced branches

Honey-vanilla spews into the thick, lush forest
And its sap trickles onto the mushy earth

Tiny iced droplets start to form icy...

YOUNG LOVE

Therefore young love affords a promise ring.
Angels beam with shoulders bent aquiver.
His woolen arm shushes her from shiver.
Perchance the wedding bells one day will sing.
     An ache of warmth -...

Hes got tears in his eyes "Im sorry" he says
She asks him for what, and he starts to cry again

Shush...DIDN'T I TELL YAWL TA BE QUIET

Be quiet, hush now;
Says the Librarian;
Mama says “Shush! Do you want to wake everyone?”
Toddler mocks mama shushes every one else;
What's the rush;
Grandma says you better hush;
Utterance of “shush” the...
