Coasting in the moon down low
Touching ocean, sky...

night hawk free gliding
coasting
a thermal airstream

Peddled up the hill of life
Intent on coasting down

Discovered much to my chagrin
No place to turn around...

Peddling with great stride 
Muscles relax as I glide
Leisure ten-speed ride

An ambitious vigor
Zest for life
Driven to success
Wealth of wisdom
Dreams burn
Coasting through the atmosphere
The fire of life...

transient in its glazed luster

coasting through windsong petals

russet sun bathes morning eyes

to spark my hummed wish!

Riding along
   an old country road,
Dreaming of things
   my past memories hold.
Drinking in
   the warm summer day,
Happily going
   my own merry way.

The waiting clap handed smashy,

sits in a dime's oval,

swallows sourly-
yet diversify's the mind,

overly enveloped miniatures-
coasting to the camels,

choreographed lightly yet so marches the mass....

With rounded ram horns, the faun could hear better than most.
I do not even try to do it either, he will readily boast.
Today he is sitting on a crescent moon, who loves being his host.
They are in the cosmos, barely moving, both of them upon coast....

Jays
wheel by
in tandem ,
a sky parade
roller coasting above verdant grassland. 

As harbingers of enchanted autumn
birdnotes usher
crisp morning--
red plumes
flung!

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Bird Alone
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: September/2013


One lone bird
flying solo
in the
sky -

Travl'n
pass many
places
way up
high -

A bird alone
soaring
through the
clouds -

With 
wings 
stretched 
out,

and
coasting
on air -

Bird alone -...

he floated in mid air
feet never touching ground
refusing responsibility
for his destiny

a drifter
open to anything
a puppet

never occurring to him
he could
at any moment
grab the reins

brilliant wings, gentle
coasting over riverbeds ~
silencing the sun

graceful, gliding smiles
lingering on the roses ~
reassuring peace

Feathers, meant to soar
    propel their bearers evermore
  gliding, coasting, turning over
    Acrobats, sky-high rovers  

  Sadly though, some feathers fall
    float to earth, their curtain call
  Prithee, pick them up
                       by yonder willow
    finished weeping ~ sequestered pillow...

Yes Bob,
1950s In Aussie they used myxmetosis, 
carried by mosquito the mostest, 
Squatter Jack was of grass, alack, (always) 
disposed of the rabbit he boasted, 
but the bunny out bred the attack,
 brer bunny might give you a slappp:) 
adapting old bunny still coasting...

This anxiety has my mind always tweaking,
Bottled up energy about to blow my beacon,
Shattered with everything I am always seeking,
Raddled with misery with the fear that is leaking. 

Depression squeezing,
Time slowly seizing
Motions always wheezing
Coasting and never feeling
Roasting and always freezing
Fleeing but never leaving...

Spinning spokes upon bustling narrow city streets
A two wheeled mouse amid prowling motorized cats 
Plays games of timing and finely tuned awareness

Sudden bus stops, springing car doors, and Jaywalkers
Each can be found within the dealer’s loaded deck
The sound of coasting, click, click, are barely heard

Riding this roller coaster we call life....
Exhilarating highs, plunging to the depths...
Sometimes just coasting along with the wind in out faces....
Our tickets bought and paid for by our ancestors..
Some rides we choose and some are chosen for us.... 
At the end of the day we have memories...
Of our days...on a roller coaster..............

Without a warning, you can find
Your life completely changed
And all your daily habits
More than likely rearranged.

An unexpected illness,
Loss of job, divorce or stroke
May surprise and then accost you
While your plans go up in smoke.

Though we know that nothing’s certain,
Still, what bothers me the most
Is one minute you are coasting
And the next one you are toast....

I was a man
Floating on the sea
Just forgot about
No moon in the sky
No waves to ride
Just left alone at sea

I was a man
Lost in space
With a dream to fly
No wings on my back

But when I held your hand
I could 
Walk on the sea
Fly to the moon
Touch the stars

I was coasting along
Just getting through the day

But I found the meaning of life
When I met you
touched your face
Looked into your eyes 
And kissed your lips...

I trip over the intricate details
Falling over, under, through
Coasting and rushing
Tasting and splitting
Your words
		While you stagger on the surface 
		Unaware and oblivious
I hang on the memories of your past
Reliving your kiddy sensations
Crushed and enthralled
Hyper and confused
By growing
		While you envision me the same
		2D and stagnant
And my heart stings 
Much like scraped knees

Because you can’t understand me

someone who knows every thing
betrays for nothing thirty
silver coins
we wouldnt know the saviour if
he messed up they branded
a hero a betrayer split his
bowels
thirty silver coins
aberration of the potter
three legged chair weeping
made out of the ancient cross
thirty silver coins
dark coffee and caramel
coasting in the round
table sodero meal pass
lonely girl reading free verses
train of thoughts pass by whistling
thirty silver coins...

Heartstrings bound, loose or tight
Distrust lingers, is it wrong or right?
The heart wants, the head is weary.
Maneuvering twists and turns,
coasting with ease.
 It’s all or nothing, what does that really mean?
Give me a sign, tell me to go
Is peace the answer, mine or yours?
Can you make me happy or shall will I just be 
a thorn on the rose full of its own beauty.
Take away my pain and give me your shield
I want to be whole, I want to be healed....

The day was bright and sunny
The temperature was high
With skylarks singing sweetly
As they hovered in the sky

The babbling brook was babbling
To the sighing of the trees
The butterflies were coasting
Way up high upon the breeze

I gazed at all the wonders
Mother nature had in store
And I marvelled at her beauty
As I stood outside my door

That life affirming moment
Sent a shiver down my spine
So I went to watch the tele
With another glass of wine...
