Renewal
Storms come
Tapper to showers
Calm returns
Earth making ready
For flowers
Sun reclaiming the sky
Rainbow~ prize-ribbon
Meadows gleaming
Bees tripping dutifully, busy
Matchmakers, introducing bloom
To bloom
Birds pairing, making nests
Brides and grooms, greeting guests
The valley quite a festive sight
Nature’s fond formal of Spring….

In petals of gold
tardy summer blooms glisten

Raindrops on Roses
in the square, light encircled
choristers of yule
who incanted charmingly
as the dew sank cool
on their rouge berets,
cardinal cloaks with green socks—
a cordant bouquet

Earthly demise
Pastoral
Spring arrives on queue
Verdant colours warm the soul –
Wonders of nature
Pictures
Turner et al paint
Landscapes of life are then housed –
Framed for reflection
Impact
Then human advance
Nature abused through the ages –
How is this progress?
Downhill
Sustenance lessens
So life withers on the vine –
Mankind declining
Ending
Far away planet
First signs of life have begun –
We wasted our chance

Harmony and Disharmony
The rhythmic waves roll,
Barely foaming as they gently sweep up the shore
And lightly brush my toes
Before retreating as another wave approaches.
Distant swallows chatter like a choir out of tune,
Tossing a scattered melody — yet strangely harmonious.
The coconut leaves above me whisper
As the soft breeze drifts past.
The cold of the damp sand where I sit, legs

arthropods
each with its own task
most of them are workers
drones mate the queen to lay eggs

I am Yellow - Updated
iconic sunrise
I wear no disguise,
really.
as do butterflies,
earth, I colorize
freely.

lulls school bus allies

Parasomnia
This paralyzing Dream inebriates me,
intoxicated by Death’s perfume,
I don’t believe I’m here to battle my
Demons, I’m here to keep them
safe and sacred, reach them
toward’s Heaven’s skies, raise and
teach them about Heaven’s signs
Is it sacrilegious and blasphemous
or the way God would treat his
Creation
Valerie prayed I rose from a lala,
prayed I grant her wishes and
replace

Come To The Waters
As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55 vs 8
"My thoughts are higher than your thoughts, says Father"
I come to the waters, an empty mind.
Fill this vessel of your needy daughter.
A new

not there nor anywhere else, each
drop a stork of rosy rebirth.

Glorious mud
A simple recipe of water, silt, soil and clay
Nature's potion; so powerful, so useful, so dangerous
Uncontrollable and untethered is this egalitarian mixture
Loved and loathed by human and animal
Low tide, the muddy shores of the Victorian Thames beckoned
The ragged-clothed mudlark scavenged for anything he could sell
Scrap iron, animal fat, coal, pieces of rope and canvas -

A Rich Rhyme
Louis Watson loved well made, toy ships, and had a fine collection,
Since father was a sailor himself. Like aged wind's novel directions.
Louis loved sailing toy ships on Crystal Pond, like gaiety filled youth.
He'd pretend they sailed on open seas, laden with candies and fruit!
His family lived on the edge of town, beneath pink-beige starlight,
Looming as

Mother's Nature Forest
In a forest seen
A beautiful scene
Of the tall trees spread
Lots of greenery
Spread for the creatures
The forest is their home
For the birds to dwell
The squirrels live here to
So does other animals
Live in the forest
The forest has beauty
With running water
The forest gives them
The shelter they need
By Mother nature
