The silk merchant

Silk merchant 's gaze, a practical sweep,
Fine thread he seeks, where shadows sleep.
A finger points, with eager grace,
"This crimson hue, a rare embrace!"

Young maiden stands,with eyes so deep,
My mother's hand, it secret keep.
The silkworm spun a crimson stain,
Where pain and love, did interwine.

"Her wounded hands, the thread did hold"
A sacrifice, a story to told.
The silk,

The Merchant of Venice Has Gone Missing From My Classroom Shelf

Now, I suspect the economics teacher
But he suspects me and
The case goes on into the term
As we gently move 
From one story to another 

But I've got all the other plays, so they look good
Break time and lunch time 
Offer time for time to call witnesses 
Or suspects one by one 
They file in looking

Jesus the Merchant

He taught in stone temples 
bricks built on law,
in the streets, he preached
and the people did thirst
at his heavenly decree,
that could raise nations 
from the daunting sea.

Found on the highway
of the king of Jerusalem,
Jesus Bar Joseph,
crown of crowns
on his fabulous mane,
He was like a merchant
buying goods for our souls
selling in the marketplace
old memories, old songs.

Sitkan Spice Merchant

Fish flesh ceiling marinades evening in mandarin
  Paprika streaks Alaskan sky, an exploded pumpkin
  Garish stretch marks bruise tumid buttocks
  Jack-o'-lantern flicker silhouettes summits 
  
  Door open draught steers me over masts, a compass
  North chill Turmeric tingle bitterness burns sun jus
  Snuffs frail wick candle into

Well when the need for more space

and said our wives have chored and labored
and have seemed to be more

a space were they can cook together
and make clothes together
leaving the chores to be sorted
out amongest them.
all agreed and built these places
they wanted this year
to end
with a place to

Love Is Not Merchant

Love is not a merchant
it doesn't keep count
it's not how much or what
but why and how it counts

Better dandelions
from heart of love
than diamonds
from heart of stone

The Merchant Seaman

He was turbulent, fearful, and a dipsomaniac. He was dead to the target, undeniable emulation of his father. So I've been told.

Equated with many of his uneducated and socially stigmatized peers, starting at an early age he worked menial jobs until he married and asserted himself to a position on a cargo ship as a

Word Merchant

In a crisp surge
Watch tale emerge
In strokes that urge


Poise in clear choice
Fling succinct voice
To forfeit noise


Words shift and shape
To dive and drape
The final cape


Works of pure grace
Now fits the face
Where time holds place

Merchant

Buy and sell
Cast odd spell


Goods now churn
A kind turn


Lots to please
In fine ease


Tease and toss
Bear with loss


Earn your keep
Smile and weep


Deep dream daze
Craft fine craze


Odds and ends
Bleed your blend


Gain not vain
Stake most plain


Quest for more
Fill your stores


On the way
Live fine play


Cash is king
Watch time fling

Merchant Fleet

The merchant ship 
The ship leaves Rotterdam
sail to the med, and through the Suez channel
into the red sea, the vessel arrives at an oil terminal
and all you see is pipelines storage tanks and sand,
then the ship goes back the same way.
The sea in its different mood can be lovely to look
at but after some time

The Merchant Handbook

When in Spring with leaves turned to green
Eyes, hands & face
There lived one man with a thirst
To live in the moment between space & time
Selling his pots and pans to get by
Although the years would pass he had every reason to grasp
The true message of his heart was found in a book

Inside was filled with

The Merchant Beguile

the merchant beguile
sat not sanded, miracle mile
what went where whence
was their way, around the fence
in American fen
gators and crossbow
sickened accosted
absolutely aware
awed without care
float and flutter
your way through this life
see me clear
back to my wife
