Epithalamion for the Ark Lovers

...There was once a dashing lad 
from the mid-coast of Maine

who courted a comely duchess
from the Westerly. Now, Maine is

two lands off from the Westerly 
which is a province under 

its own...

collective coma

...plodding sky swallows a squirrel 
clinging to a gnarly tree

blemished pens bemoan 
wily wordplay 

out of nowhere 
i am sadly too late

they have built the battlefield
in a collective coma...

Emerald Hill Childrens' Home

...In forgotten fields of green,
Where laughter echoed, wild and free,
I chase the ghosts of childhood's dream,
And whispers of yesterday's sweet theme.

Sunday morning, bright and fair,

Peregrine Falcons at Malham Cove

...
A crescent of high cliffs
rooted into a plateau of heathland.
From all directions cloud mottled wings,
dart between the light and shade -
falcons, their wingspans

MetroNoManiac

...You stop for no one, dear, you made it clear. No rank or caste of any stripe can twist your arm to force your hand to a procrastinating pause.

I thankfully attribute your plodding tick tocks to yo...

In desperate hours, when darkness reigns
And worldly treasures seem forever lost in vain
When power and wealth, like fleeting dreams, dissolve
Leaving me forsaken, with no way to evolve

old age love

...

Time's canvas, worn and gray
A masterpiece of love's own way
Two hearts, once young and free
Now weathered, wise, and meant to be

Their love's a flame, that's burned so bright

Journey of the Sunflower

sunflower growing wings
flying toward the pinkish horizon

Sun rising
sunflower plodding back to its plot
flashing its great yellow lion mane...

Decrypting the code

...Choosing to live as an ant for a day,
God yet felt in that form no sense of lack,
performing all chores, treating work as play,
content living in its underground shack.

I stand proud with pride

...I stand proud with pride...
