dear red deer, all-clear
orange forest, rustic chill
autumn sunrise smiled......

What is that? A fright,
What's under your bed tonight?
Go on, look under your bed,
"All clear!" the ghostie said....

green is a color,
and  pretty good teller,
it tells more than hides,
it gets people on their strides,
signals all clear,
go ahead without fear....

Woke up today to a nuclear plant alert
At a Pickering site, an emergency quite overt
Until the “all clear”
Terror was quite near
First time for such a scare so blurred...

Halleluya, my youngest son Scottie
Sound the all-clear for the dreaded Covid-19
A HUGE sigh of relief
Once again we can breathe
Just one of those fortunate personalities...

Birdsong gets lonely
but it never gives up
unless there's a storm overhead,
or a cat on the prowl.
Then when it's all clear
they sing up their own storm,
make a big fuss
of being lonely again....

LIFE IN A NUTSHELL

Now that I've reached
The ripe old age of eighty-six
It's all clear to me now
What life is all about
WE'RE BORN
WE struggle
WE become old and cranky
THEN WE DIE... SIMPLE?

LOL...

Wait, bus driver. Look over your shoulder.
Do you see any kid sleeping? Nope? Check.
Walk to the back and take a look. All clear? 
Checked under the seats? No luck? Check.
Can you hear any faint movements? No? 
Proceed, you're the only human on the bus.

Light to my soul, heavenly bliss,
If you forgive me Lord
Loving you naught can be amiss,
For penance I afford.

Death seems ever so near
My soul should be all clear
Take me Lord there's no fear.

Let the bells toll,
Light to my soul.

Quietus

  New year, cold beer
    Cold beer, Bronx cheer

  Bronx cheer, high gear
    High gear, all clear

  All clear, frontier
    Frontier, sharp spear

  Sharp spear, blood smear
    Blood smear, kill deer

  Kill deer, pure fear
    Pure fear ~
        Get outta here...

Sunrise,
slowly it sneaks,
first, it will take a peek
and if the coastline is all clear,
then just a tad more near the horizon
its yellow will show, it will glow,
a strong push from the range,
then it will be
sunrise.

A spring roll!  You brought me a spring roll!
A mouthful and thank you.
Shrimp! - You warn me.
Allergic to?
A slow chew.

You're lucky I said.
No allergies.
But thank you.
There's less fear.
All clear.

Better late than never.
I forgive you.
More coffee.
Won't turn blue.
Some wash-brew.

and PHEW !...

Breast machine squashed boobs, ouch it hurt ...
Expletives I tried not to blurt!
Next an ultra sound scan
Doc said you’re all clear Jan
For cancer you must stay alert


I got good news yesterday my 'lump' turned out to be scar tissue from my surgery in 2019:-)

In a Ballroom:



As the drama unfolds
neither eye nor ear
shall turn away from the
door

The people were eating,
drinking and dancing but
now they all clear the
floor

Even I myself am
hunting and looking
for a much better place
to view

The most beautiful
someone that I’ve ever
seen, and behold that
someone is you...

I have been sitting here for a long time
Wondering what to do next or find
I keep searching and not knowing
If I am coming or where I am going

What am I doing here for I'm not at all clear
And there's no one to ask who is near
So I sit here and wait trying to think it through
Perhaps in the end I'll know what to do.

A cold damp wind hits you in the face
And the darkness closes in on you
Biting into you as you wait and stand
There is no more need to be concerned

For the longer you wait, the worm will turn
As the dog searches through the factory
Endless minutes plod on without hearing
Until the all clear is given to resume patrol.

From a distant place
You’re right there alone
It’s all clear in mind
When you’re on the phone

No dull moments
You’re making me smile
I have good days
Though we’re far like a mile

Your familiar voice
I haven’t heard before
I’m daydreaming!
You’re standing in my door

Looking forward
To hold your hands
Staring the sunset
We’re sitting on white sand....

I awoke in the dark
Not knowing what was my part
Black and white was all
Greys fading as down I fall

Looking to find my way out
Bumping and running about
How did I come to be here
Nothing seems at all clear

Before when I was in control
I craved and bled out my soul
But now I struggle and flop about
No more or less I cry loudly out.

she is a survivor she battled and won
she can smile now but the pain wasnt fun

it took so long but her life is back on track
when she was given the news she had to fight back

after a long journey these words echoed in her ear
you are a survivor, she'd been given the all clear

she is a lucky one many have lost the fight
so give your support so less people have to say goodnight...

inside you are
tucked in tight
as you tuck my
hair behind my
ear. it's hard (you
understand) to see
at all clear when
looking with my 
flesh. breath
begins subtly
like warm liquid
sizzling & dripping-
yet with ease
breath speeds
inhales chasing
exhales, licking
sparks on skin.
the response is
within, instant
bursts of flame;
i didn't think you'd
be here, but i'm 
glad you came....

Listen to poem:

I see a clearing
It's big enough to land in
The grass is short
No rocks or bumps
It's all clear for landing

My heart beats in panic
Tears of sweat run down my face
Fear grips my body
In expectant embrace

The engine splutters and coughs
Bangs erupt from broken wings
I hear my own screams

The smoke is acrid in flared nostrils
My flesh burning, stinks

Ah! I savour a touchdown, touche!...

human turret son
gun syndrome
genome thunder dome

range lightning rain
night sky of 40 grain
splendid caliber

X caliber

plink to think
dinky clinks
tiny echoes

bricks, all clear

fire flies
barrels of varying sizes
armorer princess prizes

she goes all .223/5.56
flash suppressed
range without a roof

took her rounds
now she frowns
tell her later

give them back
after dinner...
