Just like the crazy sixties-
Kaleidoscopic!...Read More

In summer re: I haint getting undressed!

Hence donning entire wardrobe,
Saint Nick outfit including,
while trumpeting think spring
argh only about four plus months away
lest some big bird willingly
takes me under their wing
undiscovered since I won't be peaking,
nor quacking duck like

prompts yours truly...Read More

An Incan empire of all conquering yellow flowers

Down the suburban tropical street --

There is a blue butterfly hiding behind every golden mask

The fury of the storms is etched into every gentle wing

The madness of the scorching sun --

Hide from it...Read More

No greater shadow than ferns teeth
Sheltering the infant saplings underneath,
The same soil where strangling vines sleep
What the forest grows, also reaps

If God was a hideous orchid
The rainforest would be his shrine
A glittering mechanical green capsule
Of spirals, patterns, sets of organizing energies
A thousand focused sunlight lasers
That lock the souls into cause and effect
Nature is full of patterns
Nature is Satan's church
Once a...Read More

It's the strange well oiled machinery of a family picnic that seems so arcane to me,

The regal viscosity of a guacamole concoction, the cleverness of cheeses laid out on a turquoise piece of cloth under a tree,

The rich palette of...Read More

We love to make lists,
To describe, name, number.
How can it have value,
If not on my list.
As logger I stand
Before the green forest,
The numbered trees
Are ones to cut.
The forest cut down
Is only to me
Bigger box to live in,
A shiny new car,
The...Read More

The trees are talking,
She said, as I passed.
We listened in silence
And heard the squeaking,
As trunks rubbed together
High up in the canopy, above our heads.

“Those humans come again
Up the steep trail.
Can’t stay away from what we’ve created. 
This maritime rainforest
Draws them...Read More

Beneath fallen leaves I wait 
Camouflaged with colours and patterns 
With silent slow movements 
My tongue in and out tasting the air
The depths of my eyes bottomless 
My surging urges controlled 
My length untold 

When you are close enough 
And...Read More

Dawn's diamond dew drops delight
As cooler autumn air descends
Upon the tropical trees in dappled sun
Where wild piglets run, free to forage

Down below the snows of Mauna Kea
Where the rain forests reign supreme,
Where bird songs echo during daylight
And crickets and coqui...Read More

white dream in verdant green
bridal veil in great assail
rising from rainforest steam
as speckled owl wail

white steam in rocky stream
a train of roaring lace
penetrates the verdant scene
falling, falling with such grace

wet, cold moss beneath heat
belonging to a black earth
pull it up...Read More

So the soothing switching Cooling sounds
Beads of mists goes round rushing down
Flowing, going  gushing mystic misty surrounded by marsh Foliage green malls

The Lumberjacks Song

Mighty Redwoods stand tall, upright and proud,
Supporting each other in a forestation crowd.
Young Saplings to Giants in sixty-five years,
The Lumberjacks Song instil treeline fears.

Here comes Axeman with his Chainsaw gang,
Fell timber wood towers with a crash and a...Read More

             What We Have Done to Our Planet

Future generations will not be glad
From things we left them are quiet bad.
The nuclear remains of our atom blasts
For thousand years...Read More

The Amazon is burning
Human carelessness the cause
Environmentalists blame policies

From Brazilian government laws.
It will have a tragic impact the
Rainforest is 
Earth's lung

Reducing global emissions,
A habitat for animals and their young.
Globally it's a catastrophe
Each one of us must pray
Satellites show devastation

Of high...Read More

The Emerald City

Tales of long ago, many a tall story told
When the people spoke so vibrantly bold
Whispers of treasures of emeralds and gold
Hidden away, lost, a kings ransom to behold

Far away, somewhere lost in a dense jungle land
Guarded by a...Read More

Grateful 

The bird in the cage sits,
and sometimes sings. 
On Sunday he gets let out. 
That is the best day. 
The cat is at church.

         Who will hear me?
    Who will rend the veil of insecurities about me
 And peer keenly into that dark?
Am I doomed to never know the true import
 Of...Read More

Florida Rain Part 1

I shall not go astray 
My paradise garden awaits 
It bares of plenty 
Autumn’s breath fills the air
My spirit is young 
My soul is calm 
I harvest joy
From wherever it comes
A lively rainforest 
Of pelican, scarlet macaw and tucson

Now that 
we’ve processed 
the whales 
on their gurney
and salvaged 
some profit 
from rainforest trees,
maybe it’s 
time we stab 
forks in our ice cream,
turn cones 
of attrition on you & me.

All is still 

Daybreak slithers over yesterday’s face 
Takes its place 

The trees look on       silent        speechless 
Moved ,  but barely moving 

All is still

In the lush jungles of constant condensation,
A royal order of an ancient kingdom,
That had ruled from an unknown beginning ,
A caste system, whereby, a legacy of femininity,
Ruled over a vast domain, she'd be the Queen,
Known by one name since the...Read More
