His thick-soled hiking shoes
tread too loudly
to celebrate time's homing invitation
to hear and see, 
feel and smell resonantly hidden diversity
within Spirit's wooded ridge.

He stops to break from sacrilegious pounding
plodding echoes
reverberating through ears attuned for inside voices,
languaged...

You may wonder why I went after Eve.
Let’s face it: That was a big mistake.
At nun-time, attuned to the earth,
paradise on earth was mine…still I wanted more. 
So, I pulled myself up, joined with Re,...

at  the  entrance   to   the  drive-in church   the road  divides   deceptively

the  sign  signals  divisive  directions  but  mediates...

Why does this anger inside of me 
reach the surface so violently 
a small violin sits silently 
the bow starts to slide the string

Quite simply 
I don’t want the sympathy 
nor feeling sorry 
for the...

Mom, your love is a mystery:
How can you do it all?
Mother is such a simple word,
But to me there’s meaning seldom heard.
For everything I am today,
My mother’s love showed me the way.
You are the Thunder...

I came first but you did not write me in history
You made me mute, invisible, estranged
From my own heredity and great memory
With the slivering tongue arranged 
Upon my brain. You brought me back, later
Across the...

There is a small sliver of a piece missing;  it is here somewhere
Waiting to be discovered, to be accepted. I search with my angel,
Determined to see what she has in mind for me, my...

I put a pumpkin on my porch outside,
and he had a hideous face;
I prepared the many treats, myself and my cat,
so, with things in order- on the sofa we sat.

Smeared Sign

Snakes’ slivering skins smothered in slimy oil of temptation

Immersed inundated intrigued of intricate ill tempered shine

Go forth and multiply your ferocious frolicking fortune

No - Neverland promiscuous parody peruses the pear’s peril

Or was it a...

A  chest full of treasures
Diamond, rubies unturned
Slivering sliver
Glistening pearls
Sapphires and emeralds
Sparkling so bright
Ambers and topaz
A beautiful sight.

But none of these treasures
So rare and so bold
I do not covet
Have no wish to hold
For I know...

Rats rats rats
I’m scared of creepy crawly rats
Thay have beedy eyes and a long slivering tail
And the ones around here are as big as cats.

Rats rats rats
There’s countless millions everywhere
Nesting in your knicker draw
And crawling...

Cold are the snakes that sliver thru the tall grass
Quietly patiently they wait
Unaware is the prey that walks through its fields
Carelessly open to it’s fate
They meet at the crossroads 
surprised is the prey
Then relaxed for...

Though heavens open in sluice, hitherto
     First light trippingly carving out
          Slivering wisped skies bewailing
