Flaxen morning kiss
upon my brow before snow
Sealing in my warmth...

Afghan fields of prairie wheat
Wave their flaxen heads
Like flirtatious blondes
Beneath a sea of ocean sky...

In flaxen flight, you soar to amber clouds
like icarus, cadmium wings touch
the helios and steal its golden glow....

SEASON REVEILLE 

The chill’ed land sleeps
Grass withered dried and flaxen
Life wisely cautious
Awaits the vernal signal
Then will it stir and flourish...

The willowy blonde with flaxen hair
Showed icy eyes at the county fair
Being cruel and mean
And stuck up like a queen
Suiters were no longer standing there...

The flaxen leaves float
In the shallow river stream
Like the memories
That still lingering like a
Bag loaded with heavy rocks

Over lambent plains
of blond wheat,
braided spikes
rustling
in flaxen breeze,
a flock of crows
seesaws
like obsidian scythes
in cider firmament
under harvest sun's afternoon eye....

Easy smile, soft warm voice,flaxen hair. 
Simple things pleased her.
No pretense, greed, envy or slander.
A soulmate, lover, partner, friend, confidant.
Sweet loving mother.
Taken too soon....

Mercurial, mischievous minx
Amphibious air swirling in turquoise tang
Ribald thief of restrained relief
Capricious caress in cobalt clouds
Hale blown heather tickles the daffodils' flaxen dress.

autumn's palette
dawning morning
fight
ride golden sun rays'
flaxen horizon
heaven bound

migrating birds
V formation
tranquil redolence
fragrance
dance among tender
watercolor jewels
as their voices
    echo

Crispy
Autumn breezes,
freeing bronze foliage;
sunlight's flaxen, warming embrace
lingers

Her world is as radiant as the sun,
golden as dandelions that cover
the fields and hillsides in springtime,
or the sunny faced jonquils and daffodils.

Feral as leather
Sculptured as a scarab
Curved as a burnt twig

Asleep beyond the punishment
Each tress solid with peat
Flaxen as old corn

Perhaps you softly breathe with water
Under the door of the Moon
Still as the night is rain....

Why is it so hard to be human now?
How the door close in?
The face turns flaxen
As you imitate
And your secret joke
Of wild monkeys
Rises like a hopping child
Boredom rests as wounded thoughts
Breathe the funk
And take mad the carpet!...

Don't bruise the flaxen reed
Don't wind the strings too tight
on instruments of hearts and wishes
burning, burning bright...

Call the night, the night.
Call the day, the day ~
as we continue the fight of our lives
we love along the way......

Limerick : Once a shocking Norseman crowned Viking

Once a shocking Norseman crowned Viking
Took his flaxen men on an ice outing
They lusted for fat Finns
Knocked walrus and dolphins
Why Arctic now with Vi-wal-phins seething.

I’ve just seen her 
She is just over there
But where has she gone
How could she just disappear
Gorgeous my memory so vivid she was so beautiful
Chestnut brown eyes sensuous hips and raven black hair
Or was it striking blue eyes slim and flowing flaxen hair...

marigold tongues
water a flowering seed
as downy hands
mend a crushed bruised reed.

a flaxen shaft
lights a smoldering wick
as a ‘lectric beam
starts a heart’s soft tick

spines in strain
raze a barrier wall
marigold tongues
make a blade stand tall...

Through the sea of timeless beauty
swaying heads of flaxen gold
whispered kiss of prairie breezes
under globes of blue bird oceans
sailing ships are floating fleeces
in this vast and timeless world
lie me down neath Apollo's splender
let me warm my troubled soul.....

I race for summer's setting sun
as crimson bleed the alder leaves
in late September’s crisp blazon. 

I race for summer's setting sun
across the low unbroken run
past pyramids of flaxen sheaves.

I race for summer's setting sun
as crimson bleed the alder leaves....
