Short Awning Poems

an awning of clouds
grayer than those
buried here
but their souls
give light...

Hot, humid summer
The harsh sun, unforgiving
Under an awning

gigantic tree, crowned
there is a large soft awning
Take me on that road....

Picturesque garden
card ritual heralds dream
matchmaker pollen
fruit and berry broadleaf clad
amidst amorous awning

MORNING




Cows stroll to milkshed
Breath in clouds ahead
Waiting under the awning 
Evening stars are all fled
Kids still in bed
Even dawn is yawning...

Beneath the awning
I stand and contemplate life
All pain included

Hurt and pain gathered
Everything thought within time
Destroying all loss

Raindrops on the awning,
playing a dancer's melody...

Clouds across the sky,
running with the wind...

Grass bent with water,
quenching its thirst...

You at my side,
soaking it all in....

Sweet flux of stream ripples 
stone amulets graze mohs
scale of gold rush hardness
svelte limb fragrant pink clouds 
span azure blue awning 
sedge-warbler’s grassland pine
spellbound spring sibling sighs...

It is time 
for someone else.
I will sit
shaded under the awning
watching the color 
and clapping.
A special kind 
of lonliness 
resides in the audience, 
smiling faintly.
They all do well.
I smile quietly.
Nobody catches my whisper....

Stark,
Gawking,
Ingenuous,


me,


Gorgeous,
stupefying,
scintillating,


you,

there is that vast awning,
staring at me like unbridgeable yawning,


how do I cross over,
tell me,
please do,


or, would you please come over....

Feet Pounding
Metal Door-Knobs
 Slip away 
Piling at the corridor's end. 
Over and over doors sweep open 
And faces blossom like tulips opening
Everything closes.
The gas chamber is
Mobile again
And makes Good speed –
God speed.
The yawning awning
Collapses sideways
On the massing crowds...

N-ew morn that breaks
I-s bringing much mirth; 
D-awning with gladness
O-n the day of your birth.

M-ist, haze, and fog
A-re all nowhere in view; 
A-ll of the white clouds
M-ake you far from blue.
B-eneath the wide heaven, 
O-ne wish will be sent; 
N-ovember twenty-second, 
G-reeting will reach the moment....

J-ust let eighteenth of March
A-im to meet the Saturday; 
Y-our birthday has come, after the night fades away.

B-urning beacon rises
A-bove the new horizon; 
Y-awning and sleep both end
O-n the break of dawn.
M-orn has just broken, bringing warmth and light; 
O-bliterating the dark to make the skyline bright....

Sleep in your eye's
Crumbles like Pie
Upon fresh sunrise dawing
On garden awning

And it can't protect in all directions
As the Sun moves full circle
When the Dead turn Purple

And come the flower Wreaths wilt
Full tilt into ashes and silt
Waving Farewell

Is the Heart's call

To rage against Hells machinery...

W-hat you feel right now
H-as made the day so fine; 
E-arly lights bathe your life, 
N-ovember twenty-nine.
G-et up from the bed
A-s you open your eyes; 
Y-awning has been finished as you see the sunrise.

L-et the beautiful dawn
O-ffer the mirth underneath; 
P-ouring rain disappears
E-xcept the amazing 
Z-enith....

T-he dawning of the new era
E-ndorses the space-age; 
S-unday October twenty-second
S-hows state-of-the-art page.

D-awning of the new era
U-ses the present-day gadget; 
L-ife is contemporary, 
D-esign is up-to-the-minute.
U-ltramodern machines move, 
L-ooking to offer euphoria; 
A-ntiquated methods are gone, 
O-n the dawning of the new era....

The Stalkers

Under the celestial awning
There are degrees of darkness 
Stygian and silky night - blue 
Secret light seeps out of hurts
Soon absorbed by night`s hue 
By the quay lovers watch light
Commit suicide in dark waters
Only the sleepless see this and 
Night prowlers with knives 
 Killing someone with passion 
And bath in blood at midnight...

"Poetry is the rhythmic creation of beauty in words" Edgar Allan Poe

Poetic inspiration
Often occurs 
Early in the morning
Tired eyes flutter open
Recalling my thoughts can be challenging
Yawning, I pick up my pen and write

Darkness lifts with the hint of suns' light
across the fields at dawning.
The coming of day releases the night
as moving  some great awning.

The things that were hid now come to light
across the fields at dawning.
The suns' rays pierce the dark with their might
as alone, I write yawning.

Another world I look upon
across the fields at dawning.
What makes for tribulation is gone
across the fields at dawning....
