pendant green leaves weep
branches bend toward the ground-
peacocks prance and preen

peahens understand
bright blue-feathers fan out-
winds whisper secrets

grey frog croaks loudly 
willow canopy is home-
cottage red door opens...

Go
Son
Take flight
Icarus~
Be daring be brave
But most of all be vigilant
Unfurl your wings fan out and soar to independence
Navigate your odyssey with perseverance~ go forth and don't look back, Icarus

From the navel of God
I swirl forth
helix petals unfold
the dew of His love
glistens
in the naked morning mist
sun splashes across daybreak
I fan out my wings
like an eagle
expand my chest
take a deep blue bugle breath…
exhale peace, love and good wishes
a sweet fragrance
just for you...

Listen to poem:

the telephone wires
fan out just like the sun's rays
but offer no warmth
they are but lines up above
connecting all the houses

the warmth of the sun
covers all during the day
but not if hidden
the sun just is and will be
connection hangs in the sky

the orchestrator
the one who dictates my warmth
surely is myself 
if I sit quietly cold
I can make changes to that...

A fine damp gauze drapes across trees
As white dread locks fan out
Upon a pale blue morning sky
White doves coo, roosters shout

Come up orange sun, shine through shadows
Silhouette trees, warm
Surroundings for spring has sprung
Coming into grand form

Golden sun lift the drapes away
Allow the birds to nest
Bring the plants alive to seed, grow
To replenish the earth's best  ...

Your warm yellow radiant rays fan out 
Following the wedded sun touching smile. 
Through the dense tangle of vines and leaves sprout. 
Your  warm  yellow  radiant  rays  fan  out 
And bends down in sadness during night stout. 
From your heart as dawn break your seeds stockpile. 
Your  warm  yellow  radiant  rays  fan  out 
Following the wedded sun touching smile.

Faxing the texting words
Is now a fan out of sight
Not touching a hand

Creation of disappearance
Not sight or sound
Of human kind

Only touching the mind
Leaving the body untouched
Unable to feel reality

Thus, appearing as real
As a television show
Or a silent radio

Torn apart
Sights and sounds
Now only words

Separating the body
From the mind
An illusion of real life

As if we were 
Action figures
Playing

A new game...

from a rice paper lily, she recites favorite poems
while pumpkinseed fan out nests in the shallows

a jay on a birch branch teases the tabby
who twitches his tail amidst velvety reeds

on the shadowy bank a gent awkwardly lays
while laughers picnic just a stones skim away

in a robin's egg dream, the sun gently opens the sky
and gives away freely gilded strips of its life

soon the light will bow to the will of the moon
when the night magician unlocks the angst of the loon...
