Each star that lights Eternity;
But since my name is something less
I only sense their silverness....

Why dost thou devour
My daisies by night,
Then by day, 
Curl-up in thy house,
And sleep,
Well out of sight....

Made a perfectly dreadful mistake:
Turned his back upon Wanda,
An immense anaconda,
And became a quick snack for the snake....

Each star that lights Eternity;
But since my name is something less
I only sense their silverness.
This undue honor humbles me....

Sometimes:
A little Blake; and . . . a great big moon
Is all it takes
To walk each other home
To the tender side, the fragile side 
Of our rude-winter Steppingstones....

Ready to dream
By: Blake Myers 

Sleepy, falling.....
Can't stay up.
Chamomile finished,
Blue glow on,
Crickets chirp,
No wake til dawn.
Ready to sleep,
Or so it may seem.
But mainly I am just...
READY TO DREAM....

“Don’t tell your love,” the sage advised,
“Or you will never get her.”
“Well said!” the swain soliloquized,
“But silence works no better.”

(With apologies to William Blake, author of the poem, “Love’s Secret.”)...

V-ividly shines,
E-ndorsing sunrise as twilight resigns.

B-eacon after night begins to ascend,
L-etting the dark
A-nd the dusk
K-indly
E-nd.

Brandon, bald baby brother,
brief bill;
before bother buying beautiful Baby's Breath Bouquet, beware
better bring back borrowed Bee Balm Bag,

because building behavior beats blaming bad boys banned
be blessed, bigger brother, bold Blake....

I am the water flowing 
under the oar rowing 
I am the wind breeze 
skimming aged oak trees
I am the earth growing 
beneath the sunlight flowing 
I am the fire burning 
in destruction, Man never learning.

I am all these and more 
and less and everything else....

We behold thy gardens fair.
Say, to what do they compare?
And yet thy airs of fire and fume
have filled the world with noise of doom.
The sceptered isle that Shakespeare saw,
or Satan's realm by Milton's lore?
Jerusalem or Babylon,
Say, which art thou, Albion?...
