Ovular Poems


Autumn's Scintillating Charade

Balmy summer air to southern climes doth repair
On horizon, blue azure panels shaded with smoky tincture
Silky, white fondue relpaced by pallid, silver hue
Fondling, summer breezes; gripping, autumnal wind freezes
Cooling waves react with fertile leaves; amber gown doth 
retract
Nutrient-rich chlorophyll doth spill and sugary saps rill
Anon, doth ween a bright, colorful sheen
Golden crescents and cherry strobes with lobes iridescent
Rounded discs on Global Willow in creamy glaze mellow
Spiny-toothed, Red Oak leaves flossed with reddish-
green gloss
Sugar Maple stars bathed in a bright pumpkin lathe
Ovular Blue Beech blades are brushed with a brackish rust
Veins of Aspen heart umbrella bleed bright yellow 
Pentagram lobes of Sweet Gum gilded with purple robes
After scintillating charade, garnished blades began to 
fade
Leaves' life-giving juices the stout bough refuses
Nutritious store salvaging trunk doth score
The regal, shimmering gown now shriveling crown
A duller shade of brown on the crumpled folds redound
Last gasp, its withering anchor doth cast
Descending from mercurial splendor to mother natures 
blender

The Portraitist

across there in cold light
gazing to the passing scenes
sometimes a glance back, then
and see that I’m still staring

a striking mask, your thunderous youth
that sharp ridge of a Roman nose, so narrow
deeply fixed emerald and golden-rimmed
eyes of a shepherd at the wing
light upon an ovular range of beautiful planes
where fine skin on signatures raised
is colored the same soft red
aloft in the morning sun
and how the curve of your brow
slips to a gaunt cheek lifting
love in the stoop of those lips
cradling crescent shapes of a jaw
flexed for greatness

filing away each of your features
to a safe place inside
where a figurine of grace
will wait to be painted

Easter Promises

Silk smooth 

words, 

well-rounded, 

sweet with 

chocolate glaze; 

gold and 

easy 

on the ear, 

all in one 

basket 

counting 

the 

days. 



Ovular syntax 

rolling 

on tongue, 

luxuriant in a 

speech bubble; 

hairline cracks 

form 

on fragile shell, 

a sense of 

unease, 

a sense 

of 

trouble. 



What have I done? 

relinquished 

trust 

to whatever line I 

would swallow; 

promises, 

promises, 

moulded then 

broke, 

every 

Easter Egg 

was 

hollow...
