Dewdrops rest on ripened vines
Summer sky calm scene
Felled violets grace the ground

Orphaned Christmas conifers heap'd
Side by side Assiniboine bank
Native green and vertical felled
Blackened aboriginal limbs
White Man gasoline chainsaw teeth....

The gambler was hard-up for cash
Didn’t get it, but instead got a rash
He worked up an inch
His stomach started to twitch
Money hungry, the man felled and crash...

Calypso was famous for her feminine wiles.
She detained Odysseus on one of her Isles.
He did not mind.
As she was so kind.
He was felled easily with one of her smiles....

From Britain to Brooklyn, decked in denim
Controversial through his peace and political activism
Felled by Mark David Chapman's act of barbarism...

By our swallowed words
Hungry ears will burn~

Effusive as unkindly
traits may be
They factor as impulsive evidence
of choice
Unbroken as futile swords 
felled a seam
Adroit patterns drew themselves
a gaudy noise...

It's my zone, my element, joy
bleeding out into the embellished landscape
-a felled enemy & his prize.. 
and although it isn't much, 
if you've made it to the next day.

Good morning...

rock solid the way turned to sand
water now flows where blood once held
clasp in greet now fist the hand
thoughts and views afar never quelled
who would believe this could be felled...

a savage wind
a lightning flash
a thunder crash
brings it back

shadow felled
hopeless hell
my heart nailed
in a pine box

monsoon rain
washes away
answers vague
your response...

Freedom to be who we are
Obtrusive, then no longer a star
Rude to others, which i don't understand
Eternally, not on Poetry Soups land
Stay away, recant your thoughts
Tomorrow will change you? i doubt that not...

Dr. Walter Frieze

Here, arrogant Dr. Walter Frieze
Who in idle boast, cured every disease;
From illness, could never go blue
Lies cold, felled by common flu!

What signals for Autumn
Its death knell?
This last felled leaf, sad as slow
It may tell.

Whilst not yet conceded
Led up out
Old lamped park's chiller diffused
Mists, surreal
City-stept, more lone, for it
Winter feel....

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans  
To see the ironworks filled with flowers supreme 
To gaze the Mississippi on calm felled days 
Then wonder how youth suddenly slipped away 

Do you Know what it means to miss New Orleans?...

Climbing closer 
To the sun
The winding trail
The creek crossings
The beaver dam
And felled trees
A snake in the grass
Butterflies everywhere

Feeling older
With rubber legs
And yet,
There is so much
left undone
in the world...

Wake me from slumber's arms,
her warm caress deceives me.
Save me from her temptress charms,
felled prey of my foul enemy.

Tell me arise, arise
your glorious light beckoned.
Pleasing brightness to my eye,
sleeps darkness over-reckoned....

It is one of those windy Kansas days
Felled oak trees roll along the country roads
Their roots are scraped and torn like hopscotch knees
They are as gnarled now as skeins of worn-out yarn
Do you hear them crying as they are being uprooted and blown?
I do....

Cursed by the staff
Ill-fated is it's haft
Frigid hold
Blood turns cold

Ancient wizard of old
Cursed by wrath's mold
Staff untold
Darkest hymn, unfold

A guardian felled his soul
A natural orders death stroke

Kings woe,
A legend told
A kingdom takes a toll...
