Beaming rays from moon,
infinitesimal clouds
foreshadows the night.

A howl sings to moon,
past the purple mountain range.
Dark, musical fright....

summer
     foreshadows
     satisfaction

     Winter
     deepens
     cold

     autumn
     unravels
     trees

     spring
     projects
     smiles...

Morning foreshadows
Mysterious days ahead
Sun, mist, orange and red


Again, too late for the contest, and, I had another, not so good one entered.  But, this one 
arrived in that thick skull of mine and I wrote it down and posted it anyway....

Falling ever so gently
My tears mix with the rain.
It foreshadows
the coming pain,
the past pain,
the present pain.
But I know
these unexpected storms
only water the conquerer within.
So these trifling setbacks,
shouldn't make me cry at all.
But they do....

He is encompassing to distraction
Deeply carved like script on broken bark
My need so complicated 
Yet effortless in initial stirring

His conscious neglect foreshadows anguish
Ache so relentless; pointed and poignant
Lifetimes of regret
Wretched longing 
Never realized....

My shadow to me is like
fragrance to the flower,
Moon to the sun,
Like the shade to the tree--
As it tells not what fruits it bears,
My shadow reflects not
the matters of my heart,
It foreshadows not
the dark side of my mind;

Tread not on my shadow
Nor shadow the whims
of my sly heart...
It will lead you astray!

It foreshadows me, the night, the darkness
It falls upon me to whisper some words
They are faint poretentous words
What may they mean, those words
"the darkness will be your fall"
What may they mean?
A dark figure falls upon the alley
Infront of me is darkness and eyes
A gunshot is heard and pain writhing 
It forshadows me, the night, the darkness
It foreshadows my death...

In light of it all 
In light of the mundane
the obtuse nature of the
Homo sapiens
the willingness to adhere 
my soul delights in 
belief in dreams manifesting 
balance universally formed 
in mustard seeds and eternal springs 
things yet unseen 
a ladybug’s touch
plucked four leaf clovers
who can know 
who can cast foreshadows in-
in light of it all
in in light of the mundane...

TIMELY DISH

Vanilla creme and pearls - foreshadows sway.
Romantic candlelight, bliss-scented wish.

She twirls her necklace, perfume of salt spray.
Vanilla creme and pearls, foreshadows sway.

His rugged face, upturned, she makes his day.
He glances, helpless, at this timely dish.

Romantic candlelight, bliss-scented wish.
Vanilla creme and pearls, foreshadows sway.

My screams are heard in the middle of the battleground—I’m fought 
Now I’m in grief and I’m striving to set my mind elsewhere
But I’m frantic and lost—deeply distraught 

As I’m shipped away to a far, unknown terrain 
I, arduously, breathe in—there’s no one there to unwrap me  
On and on, the showering chilliness—never abstains

My life ahead of me foreshadows a future…not so distant
Sending delight to my frenzied soul—there’s some light to share! 
I’m found—held as a cherished infant...
