easterly Sun show….
strutting tall through dew laced meadow
great stag where’d you go...

     soldiers of faith sing and grow

the golden ginko 
sways in cold easterly breeze..
slowly becomes nude ...

autumnal leaves trapped
hang, twirl in easterly breeze.....

Jesus, itinerant peacenik,
Wandering socialist hipster, 
Of whom 'tis said, he healed the sick,
Betrayed by a right-wing tipster....

wind
balmy cool
whispers and lulls
draping around me playfully
easterly

We’ve called it names – 
Sirocco, Easterly, Chinook.
We’ve called it names
to match its devastating games.
Del Rio! how the tent-frame shook 
as, twirled on a Tornado’s hook,
we called its names....

The Ginko's golden leaves rustle
Tickled by easterly bustle
Flounce upon the straight limbs
So like a flirty lady dressed
In her long golden gown her best
Permanence or fun her whims

Trees and the branches in unison
As she continues her onslaught 
Dress or skirt not viable
She blows everything
Meet the Cape Doctor
Smog disappear
A gorgeous
Cape Town 
Showed






*we have a south easterly 
wind here in Cape Town 
named the Cape Doctor
because when it 
blows you have got 
to make sure you cling 
to something or someone lol*...

spring time storms
present with force..
cleaning the air

strong easterly wind
whips tender spring green leaves..
birds silent

oak's leaves turned
backwards...
the chihuahua barks

pines sway with the gusts
all weak and dead needles fall...
a dove coos

solid gray skies
weighted with moisture
the gulf falls on Georgia  ...

Now the golden rods blossom
And summer's birds have flown
There is a tinge 'pon leaves
"Come", before all warmth has gone

Here at the front door with a tap
Down where the golden rods sway
The easterly winds whisk gently
'Cause, "Come" he thought he heard me say

Well, now he sees a smile appear
A twinkle lights my green eyes
As he whispers, " I thought you said, come!"
And so come did I   ...

Down where wild violets dance
         To easterly breezes
                    And purple Irises erect, stiff, and chilled
              
See
   The dog walker shiver
                Wishing for an added layer
                            To top the corduroy pants still out
                                      Even though spring green
                                                 Is everywhere.

The sun rose bright red not a dark cloud in sight
           Few whispy cotton clouds spread around blue sky
Redtail Hawk in sky left nest for morning flight
          On those cold air currents he did swiftly fly

Door was opened by east north easterly wind
           Letting out illness, death, want_then in comes health
The sun set covered in dense clouds_cold its shroud
           Will it rise in morn purple horizon proud...

canopies flutter, 
bamboo grove sways,
fronds of coconut palms wave,
sunlight falls obliquely upon me
on the trail that winds and tapers
through a dense undergrowth, 
to a clearing yonder, I seek
my gurgling, gleeful creek!


easterly breeze sings, 
coaxes the leaves overhead 
to hum like a strange strumming
of a dozen bass guitars;
a tiny blur darts upward
and whirls behind a branch,
there it blinks down at me
--that green lizard I see!...

Fat fingers stuffed into white gloves

Blown by the nor easterly wind

Pine limbs get heavy under winter's icy blow

Some can't stand so tall anymore and even some do fall

Weeping Willow's tears are frozen as her limb sway with the breeze

She is now wishing that she had some glove like leaves

Winter is releasing a terrible blow of ice and cold 

Chilling all the birds and bees 

How they  long for Spring's sweet breath

To give sweet relief__


Finis'...

Now the golden rods blossom
And summer's birds have flown
There is a tinge 'pon leaves
"Come", before all warmth has gone

Here at the front door with a tap
Down where the golden rods sway
The easterly winds whisk gently
'Cause, "Come" he thought he heard me say

Well, now he sees a smile appear
A twinkle within her eyes 
As he whispers, " I thought you said, come!"
And so come did I

When i am yet of this world
understand me as i ought to be
believe in me as i should be,
and when i become of the afterlife,
bury me in satin my friend,
do not burn me....from your thoughts,
as i yet wish to live from the underground,
as this is all i would have lived for.
And if you do burn me,
let my ashes fly with the easterly winds,
so that i may yet live again,
wander aimlessly over the sands of grain...
and feel the scents of homely joy,
like almighty's beloved toy....

rolling, shaking my heart in red
out of the blue you're soaked and fed
loving hearts that feed on rails
leaping souls that heed, not wails
eaves of heart-shaped leaves overflowing
reign of adoration outlying
couches or bench seats of hearts that drift
over your body levitate, not sift
a heart rolling over like wave
sauntering caterpillar so brave
tis immortal soul that roar and dwell
easterly winds will blow and tell
rollercoaster of hearts made in heaven, not hell...

                      Sun's rising ~ on the sea
 
                              Set your sails 

                      Winds blowing easterly

                        Cast your nets to fish

                       Pack your catch and go

                    Your woman’s waiting home

                         To feed the family )))...

We're halfway between the Earth and the Moon
Riding the sky in a hot air balloon
All through the day and well into the night
Me and my gal on a romantic flight

Floating aloft on an Easterly breeze
A vantage point over deep salty seas
The two of us engulfed in such pleasure
An experience beyond all measure

On this voyage is well worth defending
But sadly now it's time we're descending
So down through the clouds with nary a sound
The tale we can tell when we hit the ground...
