old basket...
spring looks through
the braids...

innocence-
comes in two long blonde braids
dissapears- 
with a haircut...

Coats of rain clouds there
No swaying braids on the skirt
Idle butterfly...

toying
loose willow braids
the summer zephyr

Du-Rag, braids, pierced ear,
Slang, sagging pants, walk with limp.
May I babysit?...

Playfully graceful
Braided hair redolent of
Femininity,
It's captivating to read
Your character's signature...

I want to live in my mother's cheekbones that kiss the moon,
then climb down her braids and fall asleep in my indigenous silver spoon....

she's a
bronco
but not
trying too
hard to
knock
me off

her braids
long reins
i hold
tight
but we
both are
enjoying

the ride...

Her lungs froze
A sable coat stalked forward
An alligator man
Crawled his way through the dense
A hollow sound
Came from the braids of shallow water...

TREE SWING

Love’s spirited mood swinging from bur oak

Higher and higher towards sun

Teasing tug of french braids

Bobby Burnett bought a barrette    
For wee, bonny Barbara's long braids.  
Braw Bobby beams on wee bonny Babs       
As she gaen through the glens and glades....

I  braid  her
hair, time to
go to school

Long white gown
her  curls  hang.
Where'd time go

She braids my  
gray hair. How 
time   passes...

Cumulus clouds skate along the troposphere
ivory braids of cotton drifting in their wake
vermillion swans infuse as pristine lips
take the shape of minutes
as we mount the pillars of time...

A shoot escapes biting this stars ray,
E'er so oft rain splashes near its day,
Lil glow often drawn in braids,
Wind tussles ardent in trades,
A petaled sheath loosens for display....

Beautiful, dark, fathomless, breathless, hair!
From thy thread, you captured my heart and I stand in silence.
As birds, Helga in gold, green and "Braids."...

She blazoned in profusion
sour braids stained
by years of catastrophe
macabre salutations evolve
become libidinous farewells
upon the handsome black boughs
lie wicked forewarnings
sheathed within
pseudo-identification...

The sunrise blushes
in sunflower
 chardonnay braids
on soft merlot clouds
as if it has heard
my whispers of love
sent to you upon
cool chrysanthemum 
breezes this perfect 
autumn morning...

Hummingbird tattooed
On girl holding a pillow
Braids within a long sweater
Fingernails with butterflies
Two blue swirled buttons
A large star necklace
Soft leather purse
In a downpour

...of molten steel laden with burning desire                        
he braids each facet with words forged of spirit and soul
each joined within a single strand...

Ethos of 10 

They sat, bemused,
 in their inocence;
wearing their guilt, 
braided tight.
Sealed in a pointed star; 
Waiting on the Wolf and Its teeth,
 to severe the braids of gold.
Oh the crimson spurting;  
wasted for free breath....

Flyin' like an eagle
Startin' like history
Freedom bulldozer
We set the scene 
We live the artistic theme
Heartache with braids
The Toronto city, freedom with taste.
I live like a bald eagle
Extinct but legally our symbol
Together it is,
Biu Oze...

The hair on her legs was weaving itself into braids
Adding beads and colored yarn
While she slept 

She woke once, feeling a pinch
But had no idea 
what it was 

until the next day 
when it was warm enough to wear shorts
And people began discussing it...

breath, gone
you drip moonlight
blue, wan ...

thru shades -
skin and tresses
soft braids

cede sleep
limbs and percale
swim ... deep.

uneasy
         feelings,
    subtle
         needs,
so 
     translucent
clinging,
precarious
     as snagged
            braids
of 
silk
     floating,
'til
providence
       reveals
             all
translated
upon
      our
           sleeve...

golden 
    wheat braids 
      wave 

  in rays 
    of moonlight

     influenced 
       by breeze 
          against 
            dark violet backdrop

    expectations 
      of harvest 
 

        each bite of
            warm bread
