The old man spoke with clearly grand drama,
“One rooster, four starlings—not a comma,
Two strange owls’ brigade,
One finch in cascade,
Built a nest in my beard—it’s a panorama!”
The original by Edward Lear:
There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, "It is just as I feared! --
Two Owls and a Hen, four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard.

I always did fantasize about our diverse earth;
Its freezing stones in the fridges of the Arctic and Antarctic landscapes.
The idyllic playgrounds on the quiet sands of the Mediterranean Sea banks,
The amazing sun baked plains of the smoothened Sahara brown,
The tropical Haven of humid air, where the golden sun awakes in a fair and bright morning, and sets at even with its magnificent crimson smile.
What a cozy feeling can its temperate climes bring; with its sheer abundance of Clement weather.
A paradise indeed of ambient mildness.
I long for the warm gardens of Eden’s residues, with their ebullient and lush tropical green.
How pleasant it would be to cascade down the many waterfalls in an imaginary and wonderland fashion.
To go atop the zenith of each mountainous heaven from which pinnacle point you have the panoramic view of your own vanquished plains.
I once disappeared into the wind, in a midsummer night’s dream to see my global fantasies come true.
And like a boisterous eagle,
I glided high to the heavens for this global and utterly delightful bird’s eye view.

Hot
wind blows
on dry trees,
all my daydreams
I repose in shade.
Dusk drizzles warm colors
from tinted twilight cauldron,
I paint July panorama.
Nubile night falls through the arid air,
I savour summer’s stardust sonata.

PANORAMA
Above verdant valley, grassy..
White clouds on cerulean sky.
Placid pellucid ambient.
Plants, herbs, shrubs glistening glossy.
Gorgeous green to magnify.
Panorama looking descent.
Blue stream flowing on ecstasy.
Beauty and charm to specify.
Propagating magnificent.
Blue-green-lavendar ! Fantasy
Enchanting colours to apply.
Nourished by Nature : Nice, nascent.
Sensed serene sublime solitude.
Nature offered in plenitude.

PAINTING a PANORAMA
I turn it's part while painting a panorama.
bathing sinking in beauty and. charisma,
unfolding petals. of flowers with aroma.
While painting a panorama I turn it's part
Dormant desires, dedication, dream to exert,
Blending merging never letting my mind. apart.
While painting. a panorama me it's part to turn.
urging , surging, merging, dissolving:: My. concern,
displaying kaleidoscope bright or. auburn.
Turning it's part while. a panorama to paint,
selfmanifestation in bold scenery, not. faint.
Fantastic artistic touch makes me prominent.

soft mist falls silent, gentle as a prayer on the dreaming mountains
breath of hope arrayed in luminous light beckons the gleaming mountains
graceful praise lifts to the skies, poetry rousing the heart
pouring faith through the oaks and pines, treasures alive on the screaming mountains
darkness fades into melancholy and recedes into the moon's dance with the stars
rising in a fog that whispers through the night, enchanting the scheming mountains
shimmering leaves waltz with the cries of a colorful display promising serenity
lighting the soul with comforting thoughts built by the flames of these redeeming mountains
cloudless skies in hues of azure welcome the love bouncing to life in the McIntosh spirit
her burning smile, both tender and wild, brightening with esteeming mountains

as eyes peer into
the wild, breathtaking yonder,
a determined honey badger
prowls vast landscape like a lynx,
darting from here to there with purpose.
no appetite for meat this early morn'.
something sweet craved instead;
angry bees be damned!

In the mist shrouding mystically
the journey’s penultimate mile
at the fringe of the fading pasture
of the un-blossomed future obscure
in the twilight hour transient
the sunset swansong resonates
for the forlorn life silently spent
and becoming silhouetted still
against the shrinking skyline of lost luster
seeing the last sparkle of the dying day.
The twirling threads of turmoil
entwined in seamless motif
with the passing clouds of passion
surging through the sensuous storm
to the unwary horizon dark
halcyon once with splendorous hues
tinting the chameleon transformation
on the convoluted yearning canvas ablaze
as from its burning rememrance remnant
the abandoned ashes fly away.
The shards of the splintered hope
in the swirling squall of relentless agony
afloat on the melancholic waves
of melted fervor flowing in the stream of tears
the remaining rays of sanguinity
survive still in the final flashes
of the sinking sun not yet morbid
fabricating the last lattice latent
of the tapestry of dream
swathing the panorama of the promising life.

PANORAMA
An unbroken view of wide night sky
Sparkling shiny stars like gorgeous gems
stunning, striking, scintillating,
adorning ebon tapestry of firmament:
Glistening bright beads in Milky Way,
twinkling, blinking on silky glitter.
Luminous silvery spangles
seem to seek links to Cosmos,
void, vast, boundless
expanding, extending
trying to touch infinity
showing sublime serenity,
displaying pristine panorama.

Mint leaf season vortex gilds sylvan glaze
vivid hue a scented purple ground mist
citrus brume float locus in dewdrop phase
cherry orchard fruit shoots hearthrob wish list
Gold grosbeak pecking ryegrass fare at dawn
scarlet tanager an oak tree crown rite
wet mallard feet drag bird seed round my lawn
flush choral plume behind the hedgerow sprite
Triumphant March of mother earth womb pearls
airy infant whines elate our senses
green sea tides that flurry sunlit moss curls
hub of nodding reeds a ripe consensus
Zeal infuses luscious pastures growing
spring fount heralds jubilance a-glowing

In seamless sky up above the wasteland of my wan life,
clumps of cumulus cloud hovered rainless all the while.
In their smoldering shadow a desert spawned in my heart,
and at its fringe in the oasis of yearning you became a lake.
In its tranquil depth you drowned the dregs of my despair,
torrents of fervid joy flowed from you in my depression.
The beguiling breeze made ripples of smile on your face,
where in the moonshine I was reflected in sensory shimmer.
My cerulean sky dissolved in your sensuous azure serenity,
sunburst colors of my dawn painted the panorama of passion,
the hues of my dusk spread emotive spectrum on your visage,
where had the flight of ecstasy taken me, you didn’t know.
The desert wind could never desiccate your lacustrine beauty,
I would unfollow the transient trails of mirage to reach you.
In diaphanous night on arms of your moonlit shore I would lie,
and in your ambrosial essence I would submerge my soul.
