They may congregate outside my gates
Tonight, I entertain solitude and quiet; the heart speaks...

Early Springtime actioning frantic flight path
Busy sparrows congregate nesting builders
Hedgerow rustling, twittering noises concur
Heralding new life...

On a Sunday
Some congregate
To commemorate
And remember.
Outside children fly
Colours through the sky,
Finding freedom their way
On a kiteflying day....

Gathering under my bed, dust bunnies congregate,
fluffy and gray, but I'm resolute,
I have a broom to reach them, but then I hesitate,
live and let live, I say, as they're so dag-gone cute!...

utterly fixated
celebrating what we are told to celebrate
not tainted

we congregate
don't question or deliberate
mere fate

comply
considerate
sigh

utterly fixated
don't question or deliberate

Humility

Hardened hearts, harbor hate
Haughty eyes, penetrate
Honest folks congregate
Holy Spirit conflates
Happiness permeates
Humankind celebrates
Humility is great.

Mountain craggy peaks stand erect
within winter's frigid domain
double image reflect, mirrored
on clear pristine blue water's glow
Ice formations congregate near
In salute to majestic splendor.

I love the human form
and charcoal images
upon a background white
the leopard leaps!  Into
my mind by crossroads 
called human eyes!

  it's the Golden 
  s  u  n  r i s e
where the lonely 
congregate to feel loved.

A
sigh
summer
stars shiver
in fear on coldest
night as voices echo in bleak
emptiness looking for refuge as birds congregate
in hush sandalwood violating hourly the dawning of flight in white lace of light

a plethora of feelings saturated my soul
delicacy is not usually my style
But the magic elixir has not been invented yet
that would help me tolerate meanness
A silhouette of emotions causes all of my sadness to congregate
Tranquility is those who are not empathic I guess...

Things went bad
but she retained her joy
she did not allow herself to grieve
Things intensified and people began to congregate
They were never this concerned before, she said.
Looking at the bright side.
They held her up and consoled her.
They helped her live enthusiastically.
Life was great....

They aren't dreams anymore
they are simply delusions.
     Bright lights in the eyes
opticalic occlusions.
     Green butterflies congregate 
on the cusp.
     Of something so beautiful
under the crust.
     Of worn out responses to 
yesterday's woes.
     You can't make a butterfly 
go with the flow....

I never am so filled with hate
As when my best friends congregate,

It's true I think they're cruel and dull,
And I know the feeling's mutual,

But we've stayed together since we met
'Cause we're the best we're going to get,

Since then we've never been apart,
So still I'm waiting for my life to start....

She was a woman full of stories.
They oozed out of her and onto her skirts.
When she shook them, verbs and adjectives flew onto the floor.
I watched them congregate around her ankles
Forming run-on sentences.
No wonder story-telling is so easy to her
She doesn’t even need a muse
She has all the fixings at her fingertips and her toes...

It's TRUTH and LOVE,which spark the light.
It's LIES and DECEIPT which spark the HATE.
Living in the shadows those bent and bound souls 
congregate.
Bowing to their fear, rather than jousting through
and making wide the gates to LOVE.
Tis LOVE FOR ALL, despite their flaws, in which we HEAR and HEED 
God's call.

lovebugs has taken on a new meaning
now that I live in Jacksonville, Florida
where honeymoon flies congregate
in hundreds or should I say millions?
flying in tandem, like two-headed weirdos
smashing against car windshields at tremendous speeds
kamikaze pilots, which would be okay
if their acidic dead bodies did not take paint and chrome off our cars...

toucans and hornbills
stifling humidity
welcome to jungle

orange orangutan
wisely avoids bees ballroom
where bees congregate

wild boar’s carcass
rotting from limb of a tree
warns us of leopard

a decorative fairy queen
clarifies jungle beauty
red jungle fowl laughs

vines shrubs and grasses
do not slow down the monkeys
i look up and smile...
