The Tops

reach the tops
wilderness reclaims a verge
of wintery snags
land juts and tilts
hauls out
lays treeless
clumps and hags
pitch up stricken soil
heap their marshy...

Clouds
...Clouds spiral down and curl around to touch me
—not those western drizzle shrouds
baring a soul of misery mizzle
...though I adore a good wallow in sorrow —no
these clouds come from yonder blue...

The Rain when it comes
...The rain - when it comes;
It brings out the poet in me!
Bathing peaches and garden plums,
Tapping the leaves in the backyard tree!
The Mizzle and mist, the drizzle and fog
Sodden the silent, l...

I'm an enlightened
equinox, strolling in
faded universe,
dreaming poetry in
susurrus serenades
of rustling
ruby-leaves which
whisper cool
beamish hues
to my autumnal-
quartz hear...

Today is a drizzle day,
The softest showers fall,
A rain caress from the grey
clouds above does enthrall ~
Drench my heart, o gentle spray!
A brush of love from on high,

Threads of Faith

we tap our bubbly emotions
amid lightening and thunder
we become alive with every drop of mizzle

My Romantic You

Each day of my life
In each tic I blink for you
Every minute I enjoy my life
Endless thoughts of you
Kept me awake, dreaming of you
The clouds I see each day

A Flogging Rain
...We carry small talk above our heads, ceilings drip clouds.
Nothing is put away. Coats dangle over chairs in layers.
Drugged by spate and mizzle, denim droops,
snagged over rummage
and the outst...

Seeking Yellow
...When I look at the charred plasma
of a bare knuckled wind
I forget the ardor of yellow.
Then I recall the smeared tones
of skunk cabbage
rising through haze and mizzle,
or how in the Far Eas...

Inlet
...Fog slow-dances over the inlet
until water and air waltz together.
My ears are muffled
in the dawn mizzle.
Grebes and Coots colonize this tributary,
gulls just visit, as I do.

A Tale of Darkness
...This is midnight, all slept indeed,
The factory bells do chime,
Ding-dong dong, thrice the sounds arise
From yonder darkling clime.
No one is there, two faint lamps glare,
Who rang the rus...

Moorland Ponies
...There are wild horses in the heather;
their neighing follows the wake
of hewing wind-wraiths.
The ponies are hardy and stout, they go
in and out of the clouds, slip through
swale and dingle.
