And a Pandemic
Enough said!...

Committees, swirling cyclones of leaves, tortured

Corkscrew through depths of
aquatic oblivion
whirls of confusion.
Numbered sheep blaat in cyclones
and wake my unconcious mind....

Stepping stones
Facing unknowns
Embracing zones
Weathering cyclones

Typhoons, cyclones and hurricanes
Alternate male and female names
Derechos included too
Winds that make us feel blue
Serious and deadly, playing no games....

She rode on the back of a cyclone’s tail.
We did not put it together until years later.
I am sure she was standing 
Probably did not fall once, knowing her.
She left on the back of Hailey’s Comet,
The only one who saw it, as it was completely unscheduled....

I used to telemarket
Met a lot of would be actors and actresses there
The work was onerous 
not as onerous as some jobs 
Now I work at ESL and write verse
and articles
I plan to see the Brooklyn Cyclones play soon 
As for tea 
    I take mine green 
    I take mine 
    I take

A hurricane of stimulation,
  a tornado of thought

Blowing through the vast unknowing,
  our natures to be caught

When doubt sits high on light’s horizon,
  storm warnings there portend

Whose cyclones of enlightenment
  —with hailstones shape and bend

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)...

When does the cyclone grow more shallow?
In the circling world, when does the fight become futile?
Your love is an ocean I only see now as a rivulet
Between the cracks of a sidewalk.
I'm there now with a cup, and the universe,
Which does not know me, and will not know me when I leave.

Life beats him down
  Man springs up again
History assures him: Tyranny will triumph
  Man outmanned rises up against evil

Diseases plague him endlessly
  Eliminate one; two more appear

Tornadoes, hurricanes, cyclones 
  Destroy his homes, his cities, his storehouses
Resolute, he rebuilds them---over and over again......

Sometimes, we whirl in daily cyclones
    Troubles come about to deal with
          But in the midst of it all,
           Focus on beauty helps
              All surrounding us
                  Beautiful sky
               Bright sunshine
                    To bring
                     Peace

The wind herds
the brown-paper bag leaves
pell-mell along the river of asphalt.
Gusts whip bare branches into a frenzy.
Mini cyclones scatter street rubble.
Flags whack poles with great abandon
and cloth lines bang rudderless into the clapboard.
Men with tear filled eyes rush toward shelter.
The sun still, and silent, lassoed by the herder 
shines lemon ice upon the day. ...

He's protected by insurance on his house
   his vehicles, a wide range of health concerns
   permanent disability, large appliances
   his business and all its applicable insurables

   against floods, wars, tornadoes earthquakes
   glacier-melt, cyclones, asteroids, meteors
   avalanches, mudslides, volcanoes, air and 
   seat travel...

                   ... But nothing on his own life...

_______Pleiades______


Harsh winds terrorize and
Heave cars.  carving, shredding
Houses.  cyclones form with
Heavy rains, torrential,
Hammer down, substantial.
Hail rips at my roof, then
Hysteria erupts.


.......:JP)


The Pleiades is aptly named: The seven lines can be said to represent the seven sisters, and 
the six syllables represent the nearly invisible nature of one sister......

Rivers are murmuring towards the sea
Rising from the spring of the peaks
they become bigger and bigger
Towards the final destination
The sea

Life is nothing but a river
Where the boat crosses with colorful sails
Sometimes rivers overflow the banks
with floods and cyclones
Somewhere they flow like narrow streams

The river and the life run in parallel
The river flows to the sea
The life blows to death...

i gently embrace the tomb singing a lullaby,
             softly whisper farewell to the ashes and bones-
mossy vines creep and apparitions cry,
             for death is none but a cage of cyclones;
             now the light shall shine in brilliant tones.

Happy subtropical cyclone 
Never forget semi tropical
 Cyclones 
Sub tropical tornado wild 
Miles down 
Down, down, down pitch 
Darkness wall
Weather swamps
Squalls
Sails or gale streams screams
See the stormy areas
So does it flash at night
Bright lightning bolts
Such a jolt
Flashes spins 
Squirrels skips and falters
Swatters wins 
Torrent waves spring

Sitting here 
in the community college 
    looking at Shawn Green's "The Way of Baseball"
I realize that
    the baseball season will soon be upon us 
Hordes of fans will cheer on the New York teams 
Ever a Met fan I have decided to see their farm team - the Cyclones 
   this year 
  Brooklyn has a replacement for the Dodgers! 
   This is a matter of grave import 
for Brooklyn - garden spot of the world 
   and for the U.S.A...

Old leaves are blowing in cyclones
Over patches of snow on the lawn
Whirling a mixture of seasons together
With a pattern of thoughts just the same
Some warmed by sunshine and love
Some worries frozen in the cold air
Life can be like this, all in a day
When we face what there is to face
When we do what it is we do
When we take on challenges
That suddenly come our way
         Living by truth
         -  All in a day -

surrounding chaos
foretold by generations
Armageddon's birth

eruptions unfold
spewing forth molten rivers
hell's fire and brimstone

mountains of water
crashing down upon cities
mass devastation

colossal cyclones
catastrophic dark masses
rove around the world

roaring thrashing quakes 
heave and hurl, riving the land
destruction of earth

beyond reasonable doubts
behind rabid regrets
beneath a bleeding world
below bombing cyclones
between raging atmospheric rivers

I slide around in a pit of digital snakes
I track my disintegrating limbs
I observe flashing lights rushing to disasters
I ruminate over lost causes
I persevere without purpose

the End is neighing
the horses are noisy
the noise is hoarse
the sky is raging
the rage skyrockets

This too shall pass
This too shall become gas...

screaming wind
crosses wires
transformers boom
sticks in the rain
spewing sparks
hissing 
sizzling
vomiting
smoke and steam
trees topple
creeks overflow
rivers rage
we beg for it
and it comes
atmospheric rivers of it
bomb cyclones of it
avalanches of it
tornadoes of it
acute hemorrhaging 
extreme
as the 9 
and 
the 5
our politics
our culture
flaming hot cheeto
apocalypse
pray for 
the unsheltered
the strays
all victims
caught in the storm...

At the beach of Coney Island
     IHere in Brooklyn - home of the Brooklyn Cyclones
I attended a star party 
with some friends 
    Gazing through the telescope 
I saw the rings around 
   one of the solar system giants
        Felt a bit dwarfed 
by the immensity of space 
     But recovered 
            with a cup of green tea
 Made in China 
     where they have a space program 
                             as they do in Israel 
Even though it is the land of the Bible...
