Short Clear Cut Poems

The steel birches shone
So tall in the global wood,
And then clear-cut rent....

Nothing
I ever saw
that wasn't like
that open door
so clear cut
it made my heart
ache....

 rain and wind on a 
spring day, the sighing reduced....
pines clear cut timber  ...

Today, I seek a clear- cut sky- 
Emptied empyreal blue bowl
that stretches thoughts thrown high.
Transcends that endless flow
of clouds carrying, to and fro,
Spring season's rain, hail, snow.

As we clear cut out Forest 
and lay waste to the trees 
we unleash our demise 
like a revenging disease 
so be ye good stewards 
to the dark green domains
or it's regrowth will Feast 
on your rotting remains....

Delicate wispy ways of spirit truth
Feathery glimmers of opportunity
Floating with clear cut purpose
Lightly grazing my imagination
Meditation opening new possibilities
Energy oozing with incredible faith
I pick up a pen and begin ......

I WANT TO CARVE
YOUR NAME
RIGHT IN MY SKIN
SO I CAN FEEL YOU
HERE
TO REMEMBER
I BELONG
TO YOU
THESE WOUNDS
YOU INFLICT
STILL FRESH
CLEAR CUT
PRECISE
THIS DESIRE
TURNED TO HATE
WORDS CAN PIERCE YOU
MARK ME
I'M YOURS.

Vague thought
Blur lot
Void plot


Wild card
Sad bard
Times hard


Wrong catch
Buzz stretch
Poor match


Clear cut
Yet but
Poor gut


Feel spread
Swift dread
Pulse dead


Ask how?
Last bow
Gone now

Vow I take, triumph I foresee
Verbal promise, clear-cut, precise 
Volition has my guarantee
Values changed, new contempt for vice
Virtue's purpose is verified 
Vision refocused, clarified
Vacillation is absentee

Dawns Just Like This

Covid Summer 2020


Dawn easing through
Needle-Eye The Organs once
clear-cut, parsed plain, it seems,
like the desert, flattening its curve
over, bramble, pepperweed roughage,
just for us, on dawns just like this, 
breath-fresh, not one woke soul sick....

gray areas  
exist  
within life 
never are there
clear cut 
black or white 
aspects 
all can be seen 
from a verity of
vantage points 
depending upon the
individuals 
state of mind at 
the time of 
experience 
live with an open mind 
live with an open heart 
live within the gray areas...

The palms, the peas, the protea too
Showing up the lilies and iris ever blue.
The gourds and the daisies growing so fine.
Nothing outshines fungi which walks a clear cut line.
Tens of thousands of plant species
Growing more readily with help of feces.
From bulbs or seeds, makes no diff,
Cover the ground in a giant jiff....

hey,y'know what?
there's always a but
life's never clear cut 
nor open and shut
no matter what -
there's always a but
whenever you feel
you have a done deal
9 times out of 10
someone will then-
admonish tut,tut
which simply means but
it is without fail
as plain as the tail
on a boardinghouse mutt-
there's always a butt!...

clear-cut 
it never was
always fell 
within a gray area
even now through 
out this estrangement
nothing is cut-and-dry 
wishy-washy indecision
fills the space between us 
fills the distance between us 
seemly over at time but 
then out of the blue it's on again 
then it's off again once again 
a marry-go-round that never ends...

Energy and passion,
excitement breeds attraction;
a brilliant work, a masterpiece
explored in true love fashion.

Traversing plots with disregard
for clear-cut truths,
it must be hard
to take.

Our cartoon minds
can’t comprehend
the words she spins,
the twist; the end.

So calmly,
I walk out the door
and know my thoughts mean
nothing more,
than love....

I watch a tree fall,
I see it topple downward...
"Oh my God," I call.

The land is clear cut,
the animals cannot hide...
protest for their side.

Money is their king,
gold, silver, and diamond rings...
ruthless land strippers.

We must save the trees,
I beg and plead for help, please!...
Together - a breeze.

Tainted kisses,
silent misgivings,
frantic limbs and souls
struggling against a deep freeze,
always trying to reach
for some sort of safety
in the midst of 
emotional squalor.
I remember you,
trying to cut the tie
with no clear cut ending,
that was a long time ago,
but for what it’s worth,
when I close my eyes,
I can still see,
your eyes,
searching mine,
for an answer
that could never be....

Many moons ago 
your starlit beautiful 
the day of birth dreams began

Circling true warm dust 
was cast into the wake 
of wishes floating sparks hot

Burning arrow head 
fires destinies spark 
igniting winks hope is born 

You came in a dark 
nightlight crystal clear cut 
dressed satin white holding flames 

Finding a peace of heaven 
inside a breathless whisper 
sighs love unconditional...

When the sky before dawn began to burn 
into one flower of a night beyond pearl 
petals blossom satin white dressed

Where twilight turns within dreams locked precious 
gently placing a whisper blowing softly peace 
upon the breathless breeze returning echoes haunt

Whistling clear cut diamond etched it was there born 
that the moon smiled delighted as a vision of your love 
Entered through salt wrapped sweetly in the cradle held...

Eyes Can't See



The skies are crystal clear yet vision clouded,
A one sided mirror obstructs the view.
Grievances seem black and white,
Resolutions gray.

Tinted glasses perceive disappointment,
Denial, a one sided mirror.
Mistakes are clear-cut and vibrant,
Acceptance avoids responsibility.

Brown, Green, Blue, Hazel,
Tearful eyes inflamed with regret.
Frustration, anger, distress,
Truth is nothing but a blur.

The Eyes Can't See....

Moonglow 'pon the calm vast sea

cast out a clear-cut course

for her warm and inviting shore

Starshine yonder in the cloudless sky

radiate the night

for we can see into the depths

of her loving waters 

Tradewinds blowing oh so soft

carry the echoes of my soothing voice

to the far reaches of her window

where she sits 

looking out into the beauty

of the autumn eve

waiting to be swept away

by the essence of love...

Written upon hearing of the passing of a fellow Alabamian.

When Legends Die

Nelle died today
And left behind
A legacy
Which shall endure
As long as words
Can still be read
And characters
Be drawn upon
To wake the souls
And hearts of men
To stand up for
A clear-cut cause
Which contradicts
The status quo
While quietly
Inspiring hope
And though she wrote
A single book
It said more than
Ten thousand could
What do we do
When quiet legends die?
Quietly, we cry...
