Spring, the most beloved flower,
golden glow of our lives
philosopher's stone of pure essence
exponential fulcrum of exuberance
happiness demonstrated in grandeur
living humanity that impresses
natural love that moves!
Spring! What a captivating flower!
Its wonderful bright color
Seduces everywhere with power!
There is no excuse you see
I'm neither an R or a D
I think best are spaces
although different places
on things we both can agree.
Why, then such a divide
it seems like the prevailing tide
storms of emotions
are churning our oceans
its time for calming those sea's.
Its best when coming together
changing clouds to sunny weather
don't be tied to a letter
let's all work towards better
I think, we both can agree!
I talked with the new moon tonight,
And asked: - How fast,
How slow
The seasons come and go,
The birds migrate, the grass is getting dry,
And not be late
In life,
In death,
At birth, how loud do we have to shout?
How long to stay?
And wait,
And count,
How slow, how fast we have to love,
And get a glimpse of quicksand,
A touch of a tear
When wrapped arms melt in waves,
How many steps?
The ocean, lying at your feet
Begging for your embrace,
How slow the clouds go, or
Stay
Still,
How long the gaze,
How slow the breath

shining, bright.

a last leaf
clinging to life
declines to fall...

dazzled by her beauty,

like an immense night

Plain Jane Mrs. Poindexter Perry
Questioned quipster with a quarrelsome query
riling him up, down, on top and around
sappy sarcasm certainly not very sound
tearjerking interrogation turning treacherous
uncontrite interview unequivocally uncourteous
granite gargoyles in Greg’s garden
happily high-fived handshake that hardened
Introducing indigenous iris to Illinois
jubilantly jiggling their midwestern joy
kings of the garden we are, said the giant gargoyle
laughing and loving their role, they spit into the soil
most of the fey rolled their eyes at the two
nay said a petunia troll, unsure what he could do
outstandingly confident said a faerie named Lee
platinum pharaohs added a dainty sweet pea
quivering with happiness, the granite gargoyles yelled out a hey!
restoring the rest of the produce, ensuring its safety that day.
ravishing revitalized rare riverbank rainbow
sharing and showing jeweled colors that glow
tantalizing turquoise next to perfectly pampered pink
unique every time, a universal feeing and mystical link
Beautiful bonfire
Orange feverish flames
Notable memories
Fireside confidences and conversations
Illustrious shooting flames of oranges
Restful meditative ambiance unseen in other places
Excited campers singing songs in unison
F I r e burns, blazes
with vigour and energy ,
furious, outrageous,
dazzling in rigorous flames,
exhausting fuel, turning c r u e l.

Hydrogen is burning in fire ball Sun :
Prime source of Energy providing life on Earth
Molecules breaking into those of Helium

makes mind clear
ignites dormant desires,
strengthens soul,
puts head higher.

Jolly good time
Under the railroad tracks
Never know what you might find
Kalidescope of possibilities
You accumulate a pile of goodies
Alchemists would be jealous
Relishing my variety of dubious choices
Delightful place to find treasure, car parts, used gum
Arms like tiny windmills spin through morning air.
Aiming, she builds pathways?deep within her mind.
Another swing flows onward like waves upon the shore.
Awakening intention burns?as neural roads unwind.
Reaching past reflexes like butterflies from cocoons.
Rhythmic movements carve?the skills she'll always find.
Object permanence sparkles bright like diamonds in her sight.
Orchestrating muscles smooth,?her future self designed.
Hand-eye coordination weaves like spider's silken thread.
Happiness erupts when fists?and dangling targets bind.
Intentional movements bloom like flowers in the spring.
Infrastructure grows within?her brilliant, growing mind.
Paula persnickety poppycock provided proof
Questioning quarrelsome quick-witted quail
Responsible radicals reacted, reminding raised roof
Shopworn shortbread shakes shifty ships and shale
