Fragments of the future fly past
In charming visions and dreams
In agility and analytical contemporariness
Promising exactitude of ostentation...

He is quite the constant hygienist
a licking perfectionist
shows agility with flair
back leg up in the air
my cat the self cleaning contortionist...

Agility flows
through the fingers;
gently dancing upon
those black and whites,
like graceful ballerinas
performing the music
of her soul.

Amid spring blossoms, bunny leaps; spring has arrived.

I watch the furry acrobat; am inspired to paint the scene.

Impressed by bunny’s agility; he leaps from my canvas.

Chills silvering down my spine
Cold sweat down my forehead
Trepidation coercing through my limbs
Teeth shivering; skin crawling
Pure unadulterated fear;
And then with great force
And beautiful agility
My husband
steps
On the little
spider!...

We wish the advance
the impact
the semantics
the clarity
the agility
the accuracy
the visibility
the multiplicity
awareness
the consistency
the magnitude
the wisdom...
All this for the complete
poetic experience for growth
of man and humanity... !...

Life requires balance and agility,
without each... we fail to negotiate 
the rough roads and sharp turns 
along its course. 
Highway speed is of no concern
because when all is said and done
everyone finds the same destination point...
the end of the road!...

Lightning crashes as Jupiter makes his mark.
Turning light to dark.
Junos everlasting love for her son, Mars.
As he battles his way through a vast universe.
A world wind of wisdom.
Windsurfing on high ground.
At last they battle moving with honor, & agility....

C’mon Papa
The gauntlet tossed
The challenge…

Ten rounds
With a 2 year old

Speed vs stealth
Experience vs enthusiasm
Age vs agility

Castle builder vs the siege
Best two out of three cookies
Co-Co melon is not a fruit

C’mon Papa
Let’s go OUTSIDE…..

from bank to skill
  and labor to love
 for sake of pleasure
and from rooftop to tile
   my list compiles a pile
  as high and long as a miracle mile
 from brain to agility
from slum to nobility
 I am willing to bet that
   pound for pound
     I am better by the pound...

The ability 
the agility
to cause your humility
you lose stability
as I show no civility
It is the will of me
Its like a pill to me
a hypnotic narcotic
you become neurotic
my lyrics they frolic
dancing ballet
your ears my valet 
to my poem soiree
you expected fast food
I fed you gourmet....

In the Eagles backfield, he could gain a lot of ground.
Not many players as talented were ever found.
He led a formidable offensive attack.
Speed and agility were the qualities of this running back.
I just learned recently his soul is heaven bound.

RIP Steve Van Buren
(1920-2012)

Supple, limber perfect leather
Graceful in it’s agility when I
wield it by hand. 
Supple are the contusions upon 
your back as I teach you
to tease my attack-

When I train you, bull whip in hand.
Supple is your insolence- soon it shall
No longer exist, 
after my punishment.
Darling I love you so supply and intimate....

My long neck and blacked-tip tail fascinating
Wowing with agility not imitating
Squirrel, mouse and rats
All of you I track and bats

Funny rabbits  or sad hare
Larger than me I snare
Up and down the tree I chase
Slower than me I praise

I am the smaller predator so brave
Even birds and insects I crave
My lunch, dinner and dessert
You and all I can eat and assert...

Legerity in my history
So my transparency
What
Lightness in moment numbness agility
Lethargic
Legerity
What
Prosperity
Flexibility in my mind
Metal still legerity
Lack of weight By
What
Due to homelessness
Lightness feeling and touch
Hopelessness
Lightheaded feelings in touch zero gravity
Property legerity
What

I watch with keen sight,
I'm ready to fight,
My prey is my focus,
I rely on my agility.

I'm hungry and angry,
I run as fast as I can,
My prey can’t escape me,
It’s a futile flee.

My speed is uncommon,
My strength, I summon,
I'm at a close range,
I can sense its fear.

My prey is under me,
No where to run,
No escape under the sun,
I launch in.

Helping the warriors of the sport,
Gleaming in high spirits even when their team is down,
Their call and dance rallies the crowd.
They are the leaders of the fans,
But they are so much more.
Their agility and dancing bring hope to the worried team.
They train like warriors on the field,
They are athletes themselves,
They are the messengers of the fans to say,
"We believe in you."...

Restful naught amiss,
Sublime whence once was,
With calm and bliss,
Lacking in our cause.

Flung into a sea of ecstasy,
Immense in every way,
Tell, pray tell, how can this be,
When melancholy thoughts fill the day.

Thoughts  console,
Remorse naught abounds,
Enthrall mine soul,
Music all around.

Summon grandeur,
Agility of life,
Subtle changes allure,
Will you be my wife?...

There it is
Hard steel
Lined in felt
Walk the line
Toe to heel
Cards dealt
...hmm

Movement limited
Agility required
Success after failure
Repetition inspired
...hmpf

Music added
Flowing vibration
Fear dissipated
Leaping without hesitation
...triUMPH

Flooring preferred
Elevation elation
Not required
No name
No fame
Heart fired

Once a flower child
Always a Moon Child
Generations of Cancerians
Have aped the crab with tenacity
Large eyes and agility
Moving side-to-side silently
Moody on mournful days
Joyful in the sunlight
Giver of love
Taker of wise advice
Domestic yet athletic
Contraditions abound
For crazed moon children
Who beam and fade periodically


*July 13, 2014 (one day before this Moon Child’s birthday)...

Waves

Take my letter along with you,

under the deep sea,

I have few wishes for tiny  fishes 

They have taught me the lesson.

Lesson of agility,

They came to  me in deep night 

knocking at my dreams

They have left blue kiss on my palm.

They have left their images embossed,

I am still playing with those,

Tell me, 

How I will repay these colors of life?

Tell me ,

Waves I am awaiting return mail....

A sunken face on all sides pale,
As the owner’s head keep supporting a pail,
Then, to the also saddled younger,
He flung a suffocating order:
That he his own suppressive load take over,
And if he so wished bear it forever,
But must not any bitter tale,
Dare to their daddy tell,
About a sudden disgraceful inability,
Or a shifted responsibility,
As all hearers would judge it disguised hostility,
And to him ascribe lesser agility....

He rides on the back of the wind,
Wild and free to roam 
The wilderness is his playground,
His own choosing, the game is his.

With agility and poise he is cunning,
His savage beauty bears him grace.
Wizened eyes hold his mystery,
Mesmerising to the point of seduction.

As the shadows beckon, his hackles rise,
A warrior, he is sight and sound.
His cry forlorn across the night,
As hypnotised by the moon he calls.
