elements-

Ekphrasis- Water by Arcimboldo
water trumpet
under quiet
sunshine
lonely conch shell
sits
tides
ebb and flow
ancestor echoes
leap
into my ear
looking glass magic
murky message barely seen
who is the fairest
threatening message
from spirit or ancestor
i wiped it away
In huge purple blooms
ancestor of ancestors,
sun streaked cro magnon!
The whispering lime green leaves
told secrets of fragrant breeze.
In History, Nelson fought the Spanish
This powerful Armada did vanish
My ancestor was in thrall
Kismet Hardy had a ball
No invasion, the infidels, banished
An ancestor known as, "Miss Lottie"
Was a New York socialite "hottie"
To her lasting disgrace
She slapped Paul Revere's face
When he invited her to the p-ah-ty
She’s talking to the moon.
Hazed in the midnight gloom.
Ancestor, naked angel of night.
Bright stars wanting for her answers so right.
Confused not knowing what to do.
So nieve - the wisdom of the moon of doom.

Ruth
A
Woman
Moabite
Ancestor of Christ
Left her homeland to go with her
Mother-in-law for she clave to her and did not leave
And Ruth said,"Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee"
Attila The Hun was that "Honey"
Who left girls 9-months with no money
And your DNA
May clearly display
Your ancestor found that NOT funny!
n.b. Attila The Hun was one of
history's more prolific fathers
Love ain't blind:
Eagle's eyes- apperception accurate like drips of rain.
Lovers are blind,
Using brain as heart, heart as brain.

Ancestor. Ancestral Pen. Ancestral House. Drop the Buggy's Anchor.
Losing track,
I ended up in an ancient cemetery.
Passing through rows of crumbling graves
stamped on sods and nettles strewn.
There I spotted,
a tomb bearing a name
of my ancestor, long forgotten
like an archaic script.
Dyed-In-the-Wool!
Stains there in your palms, wallowing, ling'ring,
Metamorphosed into tears and so drips,
Tainting where they plunge, and you're unsullied?

Ancestor. Ancestral Pen. Ancestral Form. Dyed-in-the-wool
Form:
Rigid and small in dunam
Revelations glued into baldam
Literacy filled amalgam
Inherited from its predecessor
Abram the Hanif ancestor
The legacy of pilgrim Lordor
Revealed command “read”
The order was repeated by lead
Coupled Shafa than ennead
The early bird's gone,
T. Rex was his name,
Ancestor of birds,
Of all hues and songs,
Quaint to imagine!
Hummingbirds gay,
Lost in the blooms,
Chatting macaws,
And wise old owls.
The pride of,
Yesterday,
Beauty lives,
In trees,
So green,
Now.
Tiny Argonaut
Nurturing her eggs
In the paper thin
Shell
Formed by womb-fluids…
You carry your children
Bear the father of them
To worlds unknown to my kind…
Tentacled cephalopod
Ancient octane ancestor
You remain a mystery to me…
I am so glad
You grace my sea.

Frosty Time of year
A frosty winter tree
Jack frost cold as can be
Longing for warmth ~ spring
Who is that red head
Sitting in that tree?
Could it be an ancestor of
Heaven Leigh?
8/23/11 haiku/senryu
For and in honor of John Freeman’s contest “Natural and Beyond”
Waters ... Whimsical and essential
Can't be destroyed
Energies ...constant if constantly
Deployed, somehow alloyed
Ancient witnesses
To us now, an ancestor, who gazed in utter awe and wonder
Watching waterfalls through countless generations?
Why, then, single out a singular discoverer?
Family history
Is mostly a mystery
To those researching their genes
Your DNA tree
Does not seem to be
Worth more than an hill of beans
Women toiled in the clover
With Neil Down and Ben Dover
And though it could be a bother
Despite every fear
DNA makes it clear
Someone had it in for your father!
[A little spin off from my ‘Freezer Mice’ range]

Man’s earliest ancestor was a teeny weeny shrew
It poked its nose in everything as it went fro and to
It picked a fight with everyone that came within its range
And all that I can say to that is, ‘some things never change’
A name without
a face. I am an ancestor
unknown.
A shortened height,
difficult to exult
in honors bestowed.
The light hurts, in
earthen cave. You write
on wall of conscience.
The mud clings.
Stink covers you, like
serpentine arm.
The arbor has many
colors. I will choose
none in dark.

I am grateful for my ancestors…
those I knew…if only for a little while
and those I did not see…
grateful for all the gifts they handed down to me
And knowing I too am an ancestor
some of my family will have known me for a little while
others I will never see
I hope is one day they will also be grateful
for the gifts handed down by me
Adam is my ancestor
Ibrahim is my forefather
Moses is my mentor
Jesus is my teacher
Muhammad my beloved preacher
The seal of prophethood,
The last messenger.
Allah is my creator, sustainer and master,
The giver of life and death,
Breath and the best of life,
The most gracious, the most merciful,
I am a Muslim & Islam is my religion.
Some folks call Holyrood Castle a palace
but it's a real gloomy dump,
there's a right royal rogues gallery
and dank haunted dungeons,
The gift shop is run by Scottish mountain trolls
and the cobbled stone courtyard was hard on my knees.
I did find a distant ancestor of mine,
described by the tour guide
as a 'notable treasonous bugger',
so day not wasted day.
Ruth, accepted her husband's and mother in law, Naomi's, God, she was dedicated to helping
Naomi. Naomi's husband and sons had died, leaving her alone in the world with no heirs to
take her husband's lineage into the future. Ruth gave Naomi a heir to keep her families name
alive. Jesus' ancestor was Ruth, through her faithfulness to Naomi and God.
