Short Greenly Poems

Wandering lonely as a cloud
He saw life, death, springs and fields
Loving lakes greenly
Loving roses redly
And people-
So tenderly
So sadly...

greenly flowing leaf
a little, able bear eats
into the picnic

Manicured blown dry trimly edged attempt at normal urbanity
Routinely and greenly masking ennui insanity
As trees laugh together eyeing my new rake
I think about snow...

crystal white sand shines 

                    sun clear aqua encircles

                   lush palms wave greenly

The sticks on the hill
     were brushed when they were wet,
Lay with a pattered smoothness,
The bushes 'round which they swept
Bulged their greenly leaves,
Stony stairs on an uphill way
     creased a toe of the world....

It is a living thing
And life-giving.
This water, a time echoes
First raised from seed.

Greenly rustled up to
A bowed world through.
Of each herbivorous thirst.
Goat's; bison's; deer's.

Manoeuvres to the end
Boulder, sharp bend;
As any irrepressive
Force for good can....

No soul remains to tend their rest
    Between two names, the ivy swirls
     So long ago, a love was blessed
    No soul remains to tend their rest
  Long centuries have greenly dressed
 Forgotten smiles and whispered pearls
    No soul remains to tend their rest
    Between two names, the ivy swirls...

Spring paints so many shades and hues of green
I swear she's Erin born
dancing mad till lazy Summer's sun
she's gone before she's e'er begun
the aftertaste of her laughing taunting teasing fling
makes winter's long cold torture easy on my soul of souls
pipes and strings and songs to sing
she greenly springs on eire...

Spring paints so many shades and hues of green
I swear she's Erin born
dancing mad till lazy Summer's sun
she's gone before she's e'er begun
the aftertaste of her  taunting teasing fling
makes winter's long cold torture easy on my soul of souls
pipes and strings and songs to sing
she greenly springs and  much too swiftly rolls...

The gold and green draping
Shines on thee amazing
As thou dance allegro
It reminds my era
Difference between us
Half generation thus
Yet it’s understanding
And the bond withstanding
Blessing to be blessed
With twin kids greenly dressed
Thus, one will bear my name
The other has thy fame
Golden being their mien
And an emerald green..!...

Where You stand
You beam greenly bright unto the skies

Where You stand
You bow upon withering fields

Where You stand
Shades the scorch and down-pour

Where You stand
Is Hope from beneath and above

Beneath You stand over the fields
Above You stand unto the skies 

Where You stand
Is your gift of Life 

Be Grateful
As a Tree on withering fields

City means needs of vegetables and greenly means!
To transport rural compose;
Also processing some meats, for us to eat;
Early, early morning late in the evening;
Harvesting providing for the urban populous;
A farmer’s work is never, ever done!
For He provides for each and every one;

I stood atop mountains, green to red, saying
to lightly skies "hello there" and "from
where do your winds come?"  From where 
do they come thought I in my heart 
of hearts, inside which is harbor 
to all inspiring things.  It was at
that time I sought clarity, thanking 
God for hills that ribbon-roll, and the
Atlas-who-shrugged touch of greenly breeze.
I stood there, atop mountains green to red,
and the wind answered me....

The glazed sun is growing warmer, 
As it sweeps across the still land.
March is budding tenderly greenly,
On the hills and in grassy valleys.
And in its final blossoming days,
A world awakes as from deep sleep!
Emerald creeps on the mountainside,
As purple butterflies are wafting in.
Bees hum busily in a riot of blooms,
And puffy clouds go by on breezes,
As waves of color wash dullness away,
In the green phase of birdsong and
Laughter....
