MANIFOLD MATTERS
How can someone so small
Maneuver a beast so big
Intimidated by task ahead
She sits behind the wheel
...and drives
Every moment on the road
Sounds and creaks emerge
Obstacles surround, on every side
She must quickly diverge
...the path
When darkness comes
She shivers and quakes with fear
Heightened senses prickle and poke
Something, unknown, sinister, is near
...to see
Hidden, hidden, every freaking thing is hidden
Why can't

Wild Marigolds Manifold
they've captured sunshine
a vast sea of waving blooms
yellow orange gold
a noontime vision
with the bluebirds and robins
scarlet butterflies
tiffany blue skies
and the beauty of chaos
a green green summer

My Small Dreams Magnified Manifold
My small dreams magnified so manifold,
the wide wings of soaring desire they grew,
the miniscule mind could no longer hold,
turning to birds in ardent air they flew.
They sailed to horizon rising anew,
through the clefts of darkened clouds floating cold,
where silence drizzled with the twilight hue,
my small dreams magnified so

Manifold Joys
Rejoice
my brothers and my sisters

the grief that fills our hearts today
for
manifold joys would be exchanged in heaven
tomorrow!

Beyond the Papery, Lined Realms of the Manifold Pages of My Triadic Notebooks
A silly superstition enwraps and grips me,
It holds me and will not loosen its vile, crushing deathgrip:
It is a numerical one, this foolish superstition to which I have my subscription,
For this is the numerological sorcerous fallacy to which I've subscribed:
That, as I have yet published a baker's dozen of poems hereon,

Manifold Blessings
Shadows stretch, and hungrily
they gobble up the cold and homeless,
Joe and Mary shiver, searching
street fronts for some sign of meekness.
Mary's pregnant, Joe is jobless,
faith and hope belie their plight,
all is dark, but wait, a flicker
penetrates the inky night.
Ken and Ted's auto repair shop,
first to greet the business day,
a welcome in with smiles and hugs,
