Golden hues seep through briny mist,
Daybreak murmurs rest,
Ebb and flow dance quietly,
Dawn's tender overture sung.

Carolina

Carolina
clay soil
red with iron
fired
kilned hot
red clay bricks

a hawk
soaring through
lotus blue sky
a vulture
soaring higher
not a sound

Punching Weight

A Carolina Wren jabs and weaves hopping in and out of a ring of sunlight, it has pugnacity, but the cat creeping near does not care.

Carolina Georgina

Four moons rise in December,
Cold, hard, white,
Small, red, warm,
Early morning after long night, 
Far away Korea bleeds,
Betty's brown eyes hating Nick's blue.

Premium Member The Break of a New Day

It's another North Carolina morning,
Just before I see the sun rise.
To lighter blue the sky is turning,
And nature wakes opening her eyes.

Wren

A Carolina Wren
bobs and weaves
inside a ring of sunlight.

It is shadow boxing,
but there are no shadows

yet it still jabs and moves.

A boxer
fights the shadow of himself.

Showy Springtime Scene

I caught a showy springtime scene
This morning bright in warming sun:
A Carolina Chickadee
An energetic orbit flapped
Then perched a tiny moment’s rest
Amid a dogwood’s snowy blooms.

Horse Loved Leaping High

Horse Loved Leaping High

Horse on his legs had leaped high,
Up into cool and crisp Carolina sky;
Fine maine flowing,
While also glowing;
Soft clouds which God would supply.

Caroline

There are very pretty girls in North Carolina,
But they’re not all named Caroline, or Charlotte
Beware of confusion, a summer at the beach,
Watch out for temptation, strawberry ice creams.

North Carolina

North Carolina

A young woman of North Carolina,
Danced on tables at a down-town diner.
Serving Chilli-dogs and fries,
To leering men she despise,
This Lady deserves something much finer.

Carolina

Can’t stop thinking
About you or your
Red velvet hair. Your smile
Opens up my
Locked cage containing my broken heart.
Inside and out I
Need you and your gorgeous
Amazing smile in my life.

For Our Father Farrell

For Our Father Farrell

Always never sure where I should begin,
Or else if it really had been a terrible sin,
And my praying,
Continue saying;
Carolina Power Ball would like to win.

God With His Energy

God With His Energy

Clear sky Carolina Blue as usual has been,
And our lives we let God's love into again;
New day did arrive;
He let us survive,
God with His energy saved us from each sin.

Left Carolina With An Angina

Left Carolina with an Angina

Had broken our hearts when we left Carolina;
Not only that what we all had was an angina;
Arteries hardened,
When not pardoned;
Is hereditarily declared in genes in our saliva.
