momentum of lunacy shine
insane shrieking lunacy
to venture to an exotic island.
Let's be free; snip the strap.

‘Cuz most of what I cooked before was...

Rythmic vibrations announce your presence 
Lain on my forest floor grave we string vision
Twigs produce laden pods with hidden houdinis
Never final spiral attaches leaving with giving

Listen to tidbits from beneath, decay's largess
Brittle as ripple's rise...

Charming Patterns

An eyelet wheel models medieval embroidery
Aromatic, ornamental garden ballet steps for lovers  
Strolling in stately patterns of noble estate
Savory’s romance looping through lavender labyrinths
Lost in curves of sweet scented anise dreams 
A pavel...

Evermore they quoted as they looked sheepishly beyond the waving kelp 
But how many fonts hold fast to the batholiths where benthic crawlers lurk?

Birds of Spring sing a tune
Each species calls to its mate
Come to me and corpulate

Soon baby birds will give a chirp
Begging for the abunbance of newborn bugs
As the jet streaks across...

One afternoon
with Ginger and Basil
we met an old sage
whose voice was quite nasal

He told us our lives
were in need of some spice
which got me to thinking
of my favorite rice

So my two friends and I
spent the...

You are the moist, warm vapor of
tarragon rising from the bowl,
you are the wooden bowl.

You are that same vapor morphed
into the morning mist that flags across
the tops of hemlock...

 As the grassy hay in the stable clamped the baby lad
 Involuntarily, intoxicated tears started running mad
   Huge hand stroke beard, eyes lashes blushed wearily.

Rambling on tarragon path...

Speaking peace, peace be still

The tansy and the tarragon are sprouting in the lawn;
I can smell their pungent fragrance in the dewy after-dawn.
The crocus and the daffodils are prancing up the hill;
their dresses all a-shimmer and their bodies never...

Now lies the waterdroplet on the edge
Excess moisture wrung from the foggy air
Droplets that are somehow a reserve hedge
Drops that all the insects, birds, lizzards share

French Tarragon pointed leaves perfect shape
For water to collect travel...
