As axe bit into woody flesh

My wits all scrambled left me quick
My hands and face were full a-sweat
My...

Winter wet with fresh white flakes falls tonight.

Thank you for today, live and gleeful,
It's about the baby full of youth,
Born somewhat not the portal,
Although a star signed by truth.

Given to many, not just a few,
Shepherd common attended him,
Valid by the magi with...

     You stare silently squinting
 through  your stained glass panes

Pulling aside sapphire drapes
 of somber samite and organdy
  
Lo, gazing mesmerized
a quixotic moon--
blithely blows kisses,
wryly winks
and coyly smiles--


 Yea,...

Frozen ripples of moments

When in the hued horizon the crimson sun rose

In the war of 1914 to 18

Crystal is once again, up the draperies.
She has a veritable path of claw marks
leading from the floor to the curtain staff.

I have decided to ignore her when she does this.
But, as she is lurking behind...

I couldn’t sleep last night
These times had me feeling not right
There were images swirling round 
And try as I might I couldn’t shake being down

So I walked around the town 
Finding no solace in what...

As summer withered to its end
I thought of Maggie as a friend
But when pale dew weighed down the grass
Young Maggie bloomed from spritely lass:
She burst to woman, overnight,
Bright smile, all curves, a pleasant sight—

We blushed...

Abundances is not a promise to everyone,
Live with joy today and love someone.

And foxes tease with tails to chase;
Rabbits crouch beneath the hedges,
And grey mice play amongst the sedges.

Frogs that squat on rocks in streams,
Croak their songs to pipe their dreams;

Spring Beauty and the Beast 

Tenderly Spring sends harbingers of beauty,
Knights errant of crocus and snowdrops,
To warm winter’s shopworn heart
And soothe his brittle bones of barren boughs
With balms of long jonquil sunbeams
Melting the grumpy curmudgeon’s...

Rhythmical with vitality, 
Resounding in spark and shine.

Having it and living by its pump, 
With transports plasma around the body,
