Great Blue Heron
I must tell you this bird:
long thin legs, sharp beak
wading in a dappled stream
grayish blue, at home in cypress
Curving skyward through Spanish Moss...

Golden thread cypress,
Your personality, bright;
Bush of the suns’ rays.
Family resemblance, seen
In shades of yellow and green.

Tanka 8
night blooming jasmine--
drifting sultry scent beguiles
windowing inward
the spring blood moon silhouettes
swaying lace clad lake cypress

Lake Morning
Powdered gray, the moss,
intricate lace, decorates
giant cypress on the shore
gnarled knees offer post
where watchful birds keep vigil-
holy lake sanctuary.

The rose of yesterday
Has lost allure
Since it was put in a vase
A cypress unwraps
When someone expires
Says the legend
A tulip sways in Dutch pasture
Before being cut
Wrapped in cellophane and sold...

Cypress
by Kano Eitoku (1543-90) color on gold-leafed paper
See, roots and branches tangled, massive as a warrior’s thigh.
This great tree flings its arms, imploring the heavens to be free.
Across miles of cloud, a mountain peak rises, flies away....

A Pause
.
The sighing pines sway
Clouds fly high and play
LeLand Cypress moves
But the oak crackles
And it does not groove
Roosters silence
Somewhat eerie
While ghostly limbs
Of pecan blow
Winter yet
Spring like still
Fickled time
Rejoice
Enjoy
Pause...

Galactic Gothic
The Age of Man
Is but a brief, abbreviated span
Of seconds ticking in a moment’s course.
Infinity: the final source
Is like a charnel house, with cypress tree
And yew and myrtle, growing in the graves of Space,
Where decomposes Time’s own face....

Lost Hope
On the plight of this garden till when to grieve
Will this nest its glory retrieve
The companion birds have all flown away
O cypress trees and roses! Permit me to leave

Summer Heat Wave
sun-kissed briars droop
summer blisters scar grey twigs
cypress leaves ooze sweat
nightjars scoop dry ice

Van Gogh's Starry Night
Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”
gamboge moon and stars
dance haloed whirlwind marriage
in violet sky
lemon-greens and greys
calm sleeping childhood mem’rys
beneath white steeple
as black cypress looms
past swirling clouds like fleeting
requiem for love.

Amended-Van Gogh's 'starry Night'
A Van Gogh's "Starry Night"
gamboge moon and stars
dance haloed whirlwind marriage
in violet sky
while black cypress looms
past swirling clouds as fleeting
requiem for love
through bright starry eyes
secluded heart still searches
unrequited.

Beware the Bayou
black-water canals
where alligators patrol
and moccasins wait
where starved mosquitoes
invade in hoards at twilight
thirsty for fresh blood
at morning's first light
dawn illuminates cypress
birds announce sunrise
perilous beauty
on display in the Wetlands
and all is at peace...

Juniper
Juniper- a genus of evergreen
Under the cypress family list;
Neath scented leaves, new berries are green.
It had a place in mythology's mist.
Protection, Long life, Purification
Expressed in religious celebration
Rejecting evil spirits in between.

On Our Lake
The morning -
kayaks launch, voices call,
sound moves cleanly over deep waters.
White ibis and blue heron cordon cypress knees;
shallow eddies mirror the faces of our dreams.
At twilight, sherbet reflections paint
sunlight's fair, fading face
on our lake.

Waiting
I sat there beside my Mom,
asleep on yellowed pillows, stained
by years of tobacco, tar dripping
from cypress wood panels,
her shallow breaths
cotton-candy hair, light grey;
bluest blue eyes behind
paper-thin lids, moving;
ragged cough, portending
but I didn't understand then,
I was just happy to be there....

33 Reasons
I have 33 reasons
Why I won’t go home.
I am a loyalist
Tortured by iniquity
Captive of antiquity
But the snake inside me
Is unfolding its fibers of cypress
And the water is thicker than blood
I have 33 reasons
Why I wont go home.

Kiss the Lips of Spring
When I kiss
The lips of spring,
I shall marry thee and
Present this golden ring
We kiss the wind or
We kiss the lips of spring
The Gods shall
Perform this ceremony
Upon this hill and underneath
This Cypress tree
When, I call out your name
Your face appears, again
This time, I surely know, and
I make this sacred vow
So, let me kiss the
Lips of spring...

The Gift
Deep in the wilde of the Cypress mound on the lower Graburn run
The air is cool and clear by far for the eye of the setting sun
A ride along the turning valleys sight above the plain
The break of eve the sun is sank the day all ends aglow
Made for all by the hands of many of earth and tree and branch
