evaporate
upon the wind-
unremembered by thee
and me-
letters
languish in
drawers..forgotten-

Bumped between summer sweat and winter wallop ~ Fall’s gilded glory glows Drowsy diurnal dreams drop like raindrips ~ from my quenching quill

diurnal, nocturnal sea

stagnant never once

MOON sequins in horizon diffuse
MORN sky radiates shifting hues
BORN of rays of the rising sun
BURN as the spent day is done
TURN of time wheel ruffles scene
TORN is the fabric of diurnal screen

Urban Grind

shackled
daily wager
sweat of brow not so sweet
muscle and sinews strain, work out
to earn dough for bread, and to work out, too
cyclic diurnal grind of life
cliched, i know, but true
god's creation
enchained

Zoom

Painted kestrel, ruddy hawk
Booted eagle, stoop and stalk

Pigeon here and pigeon gone
Blood and feathers stain the dawn

Prairie falcon, osprey, owl
Diurnal hunts, nightly prowls

Raptor  in the endless sky
My soul soars with you as you fly
Form: Couplet

1959

Remembrance, you glance, glittering rise of
Rivulet moans. Voice cleared the chattering.
Body of bird brushing diurnal clouds.
Coming down and the stars to comfort you.

Diurnal Panic

These images afore my slumbering eyes,
the whimsical, nonsense scenes
quickly morph into the
two headed demon
that hastens the pulse
and terrorizes the soul.
Even when awake,
I cannot shake
the panic instilled.
So I lay awake
counting the stars
in my head.

Where will the lovely lady go
on her diurnal walk?
One child in 30 years she bore,
now they do not talk.
Supple, firm, her lithe legs are,
young men wheel and gawk.
A husband left her money, though,
a poodle, too, to walk.

Night lay in deep, mournful silence, Quiet without life’s sweet presence. Shadows moved brutally monstrous. Arrows of fear dashed horrendous. Soon darkness from the earth moved out. Moon went to its secret hide out. Sun came on his diurnal shift. Fun it was to watch snow clouds drift.

Premium Member Ode To Ringtail Lemurs

Ringtail lemurs in Madagascar
Do not travel alone or very far
They hunt in groups, close to the ground.
Seen by few, but quite easily found

Ringtail lemurs weighing less than five pound
Running around foraging, their tummies are round.
Diurnal of course, which means they sleep at night
But are awake and conversing during happy daylight

Greet this lovely morn! A bright day is born. Sun is on diurnal shift Birds take on their wing Soaring high, they sing. In the sky, vagrant clouds drift. The dale, dressed in style Fragrant flowers smile In me waves of pure joy rise. Wind tousles my curls Great beauty unfurls Here’s another paradise!

Revenge

A misunderstanding did my thinking seal-
        I had no human fears
         Vah seemed like a misunderstander
         The touch and think of my 
        Past makes me anger-
        Vah may be mercy or kind
        Rolled the emotions in diurnal core
        With like a needle it fierce me
        Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry.............

Pre Golden Globes, Oskars, Grammies, Etc

All them famous, very gorgeous
Shining knights and splendid damsels
Some of them in big distress…

Showing dresses, shoes, toxedos
Bow ties and current trends…

All them talking, saying nothing 
That pertains to common folk…
Everyday diurnal struggles…

Still amusing and worth watching
Fascinating gorgeous damsels…
Shining knights in bow ties…

At Dusk

Too light for night, too dark for day,
Dusk is in-between,
The time when those out walking
Without lanterns aren't seen.

Diurnal creatures settle down;
Nocturnal ones awake.
The sun and moon catch 40 winks 
And give themselves a break.

Unlike the dawn, a spookiness 
Gives dusk a tinge of fear,
A feeling that, just out of sight,
Some evil creatures leer.

The Cavern of Sophia

Salvation of hollow-burrow, spaceful for life,
hiding and appearing engaged that day.
Seven Sleepers, unwanted companions,
pardoners, neither demigod-cyborg nor god.
Peaceful in retreat of folding nocturnal-diurnal.
Contemplation bleached the sinners,
restraining lust, abstinence for circular bell tolls.

The Cavern's Sleepers,
Sophia of hibernation,
tapa Barata.

Daily Living

My stomach
It remains in knots
Never undoing the harness
Of fear that grows eternally internal

My mind
Wishes to make real
Dreams of solution and growth
That exist forever nocturnal and diurnal

My heart
Only wishes the best
Where family and house in order
Would be true and live then successful

But alas
Life isn’t easy
As day forces its way
Into the mind and body making it stressful

Sundrop Song

If I close my eyes and listen
I can hear drops of sunlight
Landing gently on the fuzzy
Upturned petals of the flowers.
The leaves occasionally quiver 
Under the weightless impact 
Of the diurnal occurrence.
A breeze wafts by and delicately
Shakes the tiny drops loose.
They fall with an imperceptible  sound,
And yet, in the melody of their falling
I can hear your voice saying
“ I love you. “

Owl

short-eared durham owl
meditating over the dale's edge,
shadows the fields and folds
in elegant diurnal flight.

on windside,careful sight
may swoop to prey
and away.

your yellow broad-eyed look,
at once both sharp and distant,
holds me.
oh,silence,
oh ,wind on green,
oh. earth,
sky.

immense your held vision,
sphere without centre,
pied geometer of flight,
sketch your descent and ascent.

trees bunched by dry stone wall
call heart home.

Incandescence

From the pitch-blackness of the night city lights glow like yellow stars gorging dollops of dark matter from an artificial universe. Where luminescence disappears then reappears differently in magnitude and location Each having their own tales to tell both real and imaginary. Dawn arrives and they fade from view their nightly relevance worthless in a world of bright beginnings until diurnal hours wind down and their brilliance shine once again.

The Bliss Found By Known Site

Tho join holly the sample is data
Diurnal, in cheek by jowl site
Intimacy is over deeds by, in bliss
Gloss your eyes of tender 
Special in upon pulling out love

In sharp finding of a sett
Than winds not mussing yours hear 
As mailing from the heart
Known than you’re sensed, a site
Where to chair of peace

Up bliss carry in your soul
Known than galloping for 
Thy site own tho “by foresees ”
Endo vowed soul: in heaven
From the soil tho’ free swing!

A Sonnet

A SONNET FOR A FRIEND IMAGINARY...

A poem for my friend imaginary,
His face I would so love to see,
Forever to chat in our minds,
Loving me since the dawn of time,
In each other's arms we entwine,
As if we always love divine,
In our dreams we sit and laze 
A loving way to spend our days, 
I would so love him to embrace,
Even to see his smiling face,
He is such a reassuring man,
leading me to hold his hand,
He appears in mind diurnal,
Our love appear eternal.
