Blades
Of green
Support me
Upon the grass
While rain slides down
Creating on hair strands,
A violin serenade,
Its playing Pachelbel's "Canon"
Oh, a wonderful angelic feel
Raindrops bounce off lashes to play along.
Gold or pearl
Zinc or glass
Each has charm
Home or Rome
Earth or sky
Each has norm
Good or bad
In Fate's hands
Rest so calm

I sat myself, by myself…..
Tired, tired of waiting.
Inside I sit like a potted cactus,
Gussied up for the pic.
Don’t know what possessed this dick.
The wide world’s outside
Ancestors pride, the mountains side,
the deserts dance;
yet, here I sit in cowboy? getup?
Like a potted cactus
Gussied up for the pic.
Winter-spring canon
Incensed along Jacob's Creek
Like watery angels thought less from clouds above
Canopies of light make soft their entrance
In clucking-pig-progging-and-a-yip-yip-yipping
A shuft-and-shushing of large glass doors
Round about our ways of going
Slipping on the wet pages of our
Winter-spring canon
Hey Lord won't you let me
use my Canon EF
Its one of my collections best
with copal platinum blades
shooting at 1/60 of a second
to stop camera shake
at focal length of 50mm,
setting my aperture on auto
ranging from F 4 to F11
vertical horizontal pictures galore
With stepped gears
you're supremely shutter priority
to last for years
The Bible contains 72 books
(Or 73 depending whether Lamentations listed as a separate book
Not as a part of Jeremiah)
Varying length from a few hundred words to many thousands
Together, these books comprise the official list or canon of the Bible
These books
45 were written before Christ
Called the Old Testament
The other 27 books
Were written after the time of Christ
Called the books of the
New Testament

She is not
lonely
But makes all
who smile upon her
— lonely indeed
She is not
mournful
But makes all
who implore her
— cry like a child
She is not
boastful
But makes all
who look upon her
— beat on their chests
She is not
faithful
But makes all
who desire her
— pledge from the heart
She is not
vengeful
But to ever
betray her
— the gravest of sins
She is not
quiet
But from the depths
of her emptiness
— silence is born
