Long Xanthic Poems

Confrontation, on their fellow...

SPRING OF SUBSTANCE


Adorable word  drawing a rainbow of substance-- SPRING
Benumb snow-white cloak that drapes the earth,

delicate cloak now being peeled to show
emeralds of nature: daring...

A winter white blanket melts turning Aspens verdant green.
Buds sprout on mountainsides in a sunlit golden sheen.
Clouds like fresh-picked cauliflower sink low and drift on by.
Distant sun after her show takes a bow in purple...

Anxiously the trees were awaiting their morning breeze,
Birds nestled amongst the high towering branches,
Caressing in couples as they watched over their nests,
Delicately leaves were falling due to Autumn's plight.
Embarking in flight, two crows left their...

Awaking each day greatly awed to what's in store
Birds that chirp and sing at my back door

Clouds that constantly change from whispy, gray
Dart or stay cover the sky or float away

Every created natural item brings...

Apple tart tops apricot pie
Bitter gourd blends with bean curd fry
Carrot cake craves for chili sigh
Durian desserts yell doughnut cry.

Fruity gums glue potato sticks
Garlic lollipops waft shared licks
Hot tomatoes ignite...

Zabaglione is an Italian dessert
You will savour every spoonful
Xanthic in colour a delightful creamy yellow
Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a bowl over barely simmering water until
Velvety in texture

Your age is showing again, princess
No matter the pitiful resistence
Xanthic lullabies - over indulgence

Concentrate, yes that's it, concentrate
Brave, that's right, you're brave
Princess, how many times will you be late
Yes, late to dig your own grave

on hyaloid shade phylum

soulful scrutinize
apodictic vinculum
magniloquent 

wandering of wispy whooshes
wrapping wisps of weird warbles
shrivel olive trees

drenched in sweat
summoned by chimera
once called passion

A field of wheat cloaked in dewy silence
the orchestra tunes up with avian arias
bullfrog basses and a choir of cawing crows,
xanthic sunflowers turning their heads to better see,
the daylight trajectory commencing with lazuline layering,
a breeze...

Gone
After your last breath I was defeated,
Body, soul and spirit taken down.
Caressing memories became my new world,
Drowning in the past was solid ground.
Everything you did from start to finish,
Following me in my dreams so clear.
Great...

Autumn colored shackles 
palpitations make the metal growl
Xanthic forewings and discal cells
grace my mucosa, the ripples feel foul
Eternal suffering in a blissful steel
I like to spend my days believing my delusions are real
Love is just...

Zinnia…garland of evening; I
yield to such innocent blush;
xanthic as your  moonlight’s hue
winging along the  field’s  minty air--
vulnerable are those eyes that can
unleash a charm seen only by a few.
Time and again, a...

Zebra stripes 
you instantly know what animal it is,
Xanthic  you couldn't call it
white and black are its colours.
Viewing and naming an animal

that comes through reading and observing

All around our hedgerows and gardens
Buds are forming bringing brilliant
Colour into our lives where previously
Dreary winter darkness lurked.
Everywhere new life is forming
Fields are bouncing with spring lambs
Gamboling about with their friends.
Hyacinths sensational scent fills the...

before me i see violence and filth
colliding in the shadows of night
disheveled piles of trash strewn about
emptied cans tipped towards houses
fences fighting to stand together
gathered only by the gates that keep...

Another spring is almost upon us
Blossoms blooming with no fuss

Fueling natures beautiful sounds
Grass so green begins to grow
Heady winds commence to blow
	
In March, spring...

An Abecedarian Spring


Against the graying beard of winter
Buds push defiantly through the
Crush of weakening ice,
Daring to challenge the strength of,
Entertain the possibility of a
Failing winters frosted farewell.
Golden warmth seeps into the folds of
Hardened soil melting...

Dealing the death with dare
Exploring the earth eye
Finding freedom with feelings
Gaining the trust of God
Having hope of happiness
Investing the ideas of impossible
Justifying...

A sip, a slice, a taste of summer
Birds twitter and dragonflies dance
Children running, taking a chance
Days as hot as the sun
Enjoy a chilled glass of some
Fresh tomatoes from the garden
Grilling, chilling, having fun

Hello, sunshine!

Another night alone
Because the road is all you know.
Carry my heart with you please
Do with it what you will.
Every moment that you are gone
Fear consumes my soul.
Giving me reason to feel this cold
How hard to...
