The Something In the Air

miasmic,


alighting the foul bourgeois powers that be


bounce like carrion crows


on the prone corpse 


of the bled world.

Premium Member Monarch Butterfly

Black trimmed orange winging,

                                        float alighting on milkweed.

                                        A hushed waltz on blooms.

Butterfly

She flutters her wings slowly
Alighting upon a golden crown
Squeezing her wings together so lightly
Gathering life's liquid 
Only to flutter away again so quickly
Oh gentile one
Were then is thy home

Aurora wears fine lace
Alighting from pale night…
Amethyst her morn’s gown;
Against a floral stage
As she paints nature…bold !
Artist , Goddess of dawn
Adored by lit seasons.

A Time of Night

On a Path through knee-high heathers
Stumbled, scraped, suddenly seeing
Moonlit form in noiseless View;
Raven's eyes of Crimson hue.
Caw and stretch the Midnight feathers!
Extraordinary, blurry, Ancient measures
Sounding you, approaching closer:
Startled wings alighting further.

Running To Meet My Lover

Alighting  the train, it began to rain
I won't let go of the flowers held tightly in my hand
While running, the road was slippery.
With every determination,
I'm running towards my lover.

Mourning Commute

Mourning Commute

would be phoenixes
masquerade in Gotham
snowbirds alighting 
outrunning the cock's crow
leaving their respective nests
cold
huddled in subterranean tunnels
awaiting the next iron worm
three piece sardines 
breaststroking up steam 
in relentless pursuit of false promises

Unending

In downy pink I watch you go
my sun,
at night you will pluck moon flowers.

In half-moon eclipse
the morning glory will wake me up
in dew, alighting whole night

on the rose branch. I still smell
your lips. The head aches in
singing dark.

Welcome again, my ghosts of new year.

Premium Member The Butterfly

The bush, the bloom its great delight
The butterfly flutters by in dainty flight 
Bestowing gentle kisses as it goes
Alighting at last upon the yellow rose

So fragile a life flown on fairy wings
Unaware of life's more mundane things
The rose it's treasure that sparkling day
Life's sweet nectar dipped, then flew away
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Butterfly Kisses

The bush, the bloom its great delight Through the bower in fluttering flight Bestowing gentle kisses as it goes Alighting at last upon the yellow rose So fragile a life flown on fairy wings Unaware of life's more mundane things The rose it's treasure that sparkling day Life's sweet nectar dipped, then flew away

Hello

Empty cocoons
Are all that remain
While in the field
Picasso-like wings soar

Changing the brown color
Of a fading autumn field
Beat the wings 
Of new born butterflies

Fearlessly
They dance all about me
Touching my nose
Gently alighting 
On my shoulders

It’s as if they are saying
Nice to see you my friend
Glad you came by
To say
Hello

Premium Member Eighty-Two Degrees In Kansas

Yellow butterfly zigzags recklessly
into the garden, alighting briefly on marigolds.
Ugly crying bird sound screeches an alarm.
Pretty wind chimes clanging in the wind.

Was it really eighty-two degrees today?
Certainly warm for May first in Kansas.
Fine and happy May Day to you not in person but on Zoom.
I would like to see all of you again in person, and I mean soon!

Bird Party

The birds are having a party;
They're gathering out back,
Although balloons and streamers
They most certainly do lack.

They line up on the patio
Then swoop from tree to tree,
Alighting on the branches
Where the leaves won't let me see.

There's such freedom in their flying
They look joyous in the air 
But for all I know, it's just a way
To get from here to there.

A’Sway

My whirligigs are spinning;
The trees are all a’sway.
The dafs, with blooms beginning,
Bow their heads in mock dismay.

The windsock strips are dancing;
The bushes are a’bounce,
The dogs on leashes prancing,
Swishing tails an added flounce.

As I sit here with my writing,
While the sunshine’s all a’peek,
Rhyming words have been alighting
To allow my thought to speak.

October's Recourse

Flush with falling leaves of rust,
I stand balanced among the dampness of night;
Glittering skies alighting my path.

A chilled repetitive moan of wind
catches the serried strands of my hair,
while frost lightly tickles my frozen face.

The celestial crescent adorning October
surrounds me in a quilted patch of darkness as
the harshness of Winter confrontation draws near.

Premium Member In Heaven's Light

Our focus at Christmas 
should be on the birth of the child 
Immaculate conceived without sin 
born cold and homeless no room for them in the inn
The greatest miracle in starlight shone 
like a butterfly alighting on a rose 
When His Most Holy Mother
held the most Precious Gift in Her arms 
and how the animals played their part 
This day the King of Mercy and peace was Born

Premium Member Watching Monarch Faeries

delicate faerie heroes with your nutmeg wings
dazzling me with your filigree onyx lacings
you flutter and tease before alighting together
ah, yes, I think. You are heading toward the lilac
you fool me and land on the magnolia blossoms
their vanilla centers seem to be of special interest
two matching monarchs, conversing with my blooms
I smile as a scent of spearmint wafts toward me

Premium Member Of Him Whom I Trust

OF HIM WHOM I TRUST

I ask you to cleanse,
to dredge the lake,
survey my thoughts.

Burn the bad ones
upon a floating bier,
So I might be clean.

Let my eyes behold
your glorious book.
Bring each word to life

like a spiritual dove
alighting upon me,
like a flaming tongue.

Taught by the living God
is what they will say.
I praise your wondrous name!

Premium Member To a Butterfly

When I espy you in the morning light You truly are such a delightful sight Your jeweled wings catch my eye As you dance in the cerulean sky Alighting to sip nectar from summer flowers I could watch your beauty for many hours I’m mesmerised by your colourful wings Such joy a beautiful butterfly brings To a .. contest sponsored by David Lindsay 07~14~16

The Stormbird

Lonely Stormbird calls, 
‘I am here. Choose me. Love me’.
Distant thunder rolls.

Flying rain in air —
Touching my cheek, alighting
On my eyelashes.

I hear, rain music —
On leaves, on roof, in gutters, 
Muted cars hiss by.

The rain burnishes
Dull browns and greens — to copper,
To emerald fire.

After — sun’s rays raise 
Steam; from road, leaf and feather.
Lonely Stormbird calls,
