Dainty gauzy cobweb holds on valiantly retaining essence
Impressing Kansas fescue grasses and lovely Queen Anne ’s lace
Not intimidated by cool northern Arctic winds

Undulating veils, gray and gauzy
Seducing hills and valleys,
Whispering secrets in the morning mist.

gracing growing garden gracefully
gleaming gauzy gorgeousness
forever frothy fresh fragrance
friendly frilly fragileness
lovingly languishing
lithe, light, lovely,
gardenia, gracing garden gracefully
gleaming gauzy gorgeousness

Mirage of gauzy wings,
Makes a path near gold flames.
Mesmerized... it prances
Mystically around
Moonlit torch: the lure of
Magic casts quick danger...
Marking butterfly's end.

skeletal rattling
naked branches
tapping
wind blows
dark landscape
ghosts
past
present
linger
smoky
lonely
hollow eyes
dark circular burns
pale faces
the only thing they have left
gauzy smoky bodies
torn
shredded
gone in the wind (C)MJR

delicate gauzy organza sheers
window dressing dancing in the bedroom
blown gently by forced air heat
piped in by silver register on floor
moving softly in a sensuous way
erotic dance of cosmic feelings
my wide awake eyes
overwhelmed by imagination
conjures up a dancing ghost

The elderly nana had one last wish.
I would like a bit of faerie floss she said.
I thought she meant embroidery floss.
Someone else thought she meant gauzy material.
An old gentleman arrived carrying cotton candy on a stick.
We used to call this faerie floss, he told us.
She was more than happy with it.

Morning tumbles into my arms,
I give a gentle hug,
Smooth down
Her long gauzy dress,
Run my fingers through her rays
And braid sweet pea tendrils in blond pigtails.
Lifting up her quivering chin
I gaze into sapphire eyes,
Drawl encouraging morning words:
“Good” and “glory”,
“Dove”,
And she embraces the petunia day.

The parched, cracked earth receives the rain
into a billion hungry mouths;
she suckles at the sky’s wet breast
swaddled in cloud-gray gauzy blouse.
Sweet budding grasses nod and sway;
infant creatures babble and croon,
as Mother Nature tucks all in
‘neath nightlight-blue lullaby moon.

Forgiveness
Dusted with determination
her bent old body plows a furrow
in the field of time.
She has bled into the earth,
eaten unleavened bread
with sacramental wine
Old Mother seasoned with
sorrow, proud of her pain
and the daily acts of contrition
that may bring absolution,
or that may crumble
like the gauzy wings of moths

Prose Poetry
When the gauzy sheen of evening’s touch
Drapes my breaths to climb farther than light
I enter into oneness with the self…
And this hazy mind lays quiet, absent
From a jagged pace, releasing calm essence
To hold an inner world, steadily tranquil.

Verse
this game of faces
played out pages fast,
fret filled thoughts, dark places
stuffed full brilliant cast,
dream parts falling
barked out loud,
haunting muse keeps calling
hid by gauzy shrouds,
but if "a little wise the best fools be"
can verse be looked upon so proudly,
or should we, as Mr. Bradbury agrees,
just be "stung with a theramin, loudly"?

The sun cast bright golden yellow
Through the boughs of tall trees
Exaggerates gauzy light fog
Wrapping like swarming bees
The grass freshly mowed lies in clumps
Upon the dew laden
Ground, soon it won't have to be cut
By Ginko leaves hidden
The beams of light filter through fog
Magical its soft glow
Soon the magic will be gone; heat
From the sun will flow

A fathomless day
Visually blissful
Metaphorically ready
Musings from my
Internal soul dragon
Suddenly heard
A blessed ribbon
Of purity wander
Into my heartstrings
Magnificent plumes
Ribbon through my
Sweet marigold garden
Gauzy silky dandelion
Wisps guide imagination
And make poetry

Our garden's masterpiece,
Fairies in each fleur-de-lis,
Blossoms of gauzy glory,
Perennial veils of fairy stories,
Beribboned spangle treasury,
Fairies flitting so flowery,
Our queen of ruby roses,
Posies for all, one supposes,
Flowerets the best cuddle,
Essence of Spring, residual,
There are fairies in the flowers in our garden,
One ruby rose--then a garland!!

I've watched the isles at dusk
Cool and mysterious they lie--
Where old and deep-boughed cedars
heave, as gleaned from a cloudscape
on earth's threadbare attic,
While lines of faded stars
slip into gauzy white--
to appear like brushed, eerie ghosts
on howling psalms that sought
the need to settle in the vault
of an empty, ruined church.

Snowflakes fall, spinning, swirling twirling, whirling.
A flurry of ballet dancers in gauzy white dresses.

Banked clouds hide the sun
Fog a gauzy sheer veil
The Whip-Poor-Will finally stopped
Doves now sing in the dale
That Whip-Poor-Will's fast jazzy song
Was an alarm clock's tune
He sang and sang 'til exhausted
While looking at the moon
Will sleep the day like so many
He'd fit right in today
The young guys would love him plenty
At night he'd play and play

Walking the riverside, the rain stopped, the sun reappeared.
Weaving thru the weeds came the dragonfly.
A trembling shimmer of gauzy wings.
Darting electric blues,greens and bronze
In a crazy zig-zag dance.
Droplets clung to rain-splashed leaves.
A mosaic of life-nature's multitude.
The dragonfly bustled with fingertip precision.
Gathering fragments of gold,
It sped away,
A life in a day!

A night endows in poetic lull of waxing moon
A nightingale tunes in cool of summer June
Flickering good-bye in midst of shrubs' shadow,
Fireflies scramble off filling open-air jaunt tow
Through scarlet gauzy of light and odor of myrrh
One lone firefly gracefulness, a beacon of glamour
upon steeple leaf as it appears in utter darkness
Each blink of light adrift then gone in the blackness

Filtering filaments of shouting color
Dancing brilliant motes
Defining sunlight by crowding into invisible shafts
Reflecting hope and brilliance
Revealing resistance with every tiny fragment
Defying gravity to fly the final arc of existence
Catching the sun and revealing an unseen world
That every breath is defined by gauzy curtains of sustenance;
Should we be so dispassionate that we inhale all this
Unknowing

Castle
many rooms
but there seems to be no room
for my affection for you
Inside.
But I built
It's a castle
a lofty, gauzy place
to keep my aspirations high
among clouds
It seems
my dream location
Is enraptured in your arms
safe and sensual
homey and content
during storms
lightning and lull
during gloomy clouds
I watch my every move
I let the rain fall as
facing the sky
soak me.

give me wool, please I need wool,
to knit hats, scarfs and socks for the homeless;
that dwell in doorways gasping for breath in the bitter cold,
as the biting snow swirls about like gauzy curtains drifting, blowing;
on this cold bitter day, oh give me wool, please, I need lots of warm wool.
