Poring over the holy books
Hoary heads, stroking their beards
Calibrating ancient laws for 2022
Eschewing payment, revered volunteers

Soothing scintillas
Do kiss an impuissant swain
In weird, wintry pain.
England seems hoary--
Throttling cold untold lashes
The land of glory.

An orange fireball so new
Peeks around the naked trees
As seen through the window view
Beyond is hoary grass freeze

Alive
watching the dew
steam in the morning
sun
that hoary old frost
has met his match
scorched by the ice
the plants
warmed by the sun
bounce back
and rise.

A quartered moon tortures the chill earth
tempts the night things. Thinning shadows
glide through the hoary mist, shiver
in a distant fear of Sun's rise.

Verse
Head of hoary hairs and deeply creased brow,
Do indicate
Traveled miles
Children
Live
And
Carry
On his name.
A warm embrace
Bonds the two generations together.

weird hum in the sea
a floating human-less hump
a humpbacked whale
hungry and hunting
hurrying to hurl krill
hoary humpback heaves with happiness
heads home to retain place
as hermit of the High Seas

A stellar pathway:
No rain in the sky to douse
the moons umbrella.
Hoary puffs racing
through glowing rings, while she smokes:
Lunar reckoning.
Coconut palms wave
their sleek fronds in the high wind:
Long midnight goodbyes.

Sound
depends
on the heart
where my truth lives
from alone mountain comes out as fountain;
Hoary smoke from the ice berg of red heart
where mind befriends
the wise pen
to write

What is purpose?
When hoary whispers cascade,
turning sensuality to slush,
and within I freeze.
Each tender touch
cracks support;
cleaves the foundation,
so all I can do is shatter
into slivers of self,
then melt into absence.

The lighting, it was over-bright,
Now vicar Johnson murdered lies.
In silver sword of blue-haired knight,
The lighting, it was over-bright,
Not one can strikes of such force fight,
For deeply in his hoary eyes,
The lighting, it was over-bright,
Now vicar Johnson murdered lies.

Rain in end of June
I don`t mind it cools the land
Unclutters the mind
Rain in end of June
Promises moderate times
Dogs do not yowl
The hoary oak smiles
Dust free and verdant leaves
Rain in end of June
No flies fly today
Sparrows sleep under roof tiles
Nests dry and cosy

Blank verse
While D.T.'s old image was bold
His weird rants seem hoary and cold
If campaign funds fade
The next asset trade
Is having Melania sold
Why would he throw away caution?
Seems like he’s got brain exhaustion
While human slave trade
Appears retrograde
This artifice needs an auction

Limerick
She sings to me on morning sun
and shines her smiling face at me.
A child, through fields I used to run,
swimming sweeping waves like the sea.
Her eyes prismatic, a story
of temper and patience bereft,
of seeds that ripen and drop hoary,
like friends of old who came then left.

The thorns have come for me
Her deadly flower walks
There's more for taking me
to deadly hallow docks
What once was gracing me
now trecherous goary blocks
When now I come to see
her hoary marry mocks
That now I know to see
more caring fair-thee flocks
So all I love to see
is sparing tarry gawks

A deplorable state of vexing conditions,
A hoary head of scrambled positions
Struck with angst in makeshift decisions,
Entangled with Fate I see psychic Visions
You'd think it'd "click" when so often burned,
But beyond my Mind I feel "the pull"
Despite the Truths I've come to learn,
In turn I choose to be a Fool

It is fallacious to pretend
we contrive to “become ourselves”
when there’s no one to observe us.
Mere mice with conceits of grandeur
prowling proud like cats in the night -
Hubris holds high its hoary head.
We are ever just whom we are,
we can’t be more and can’t be less
until finally we are not.

snow flakes fall to the earth
you close your eyes
and your body floats
up to heaven
and all fall to earth
with the snow
and you scoop it up
and make snow men
and snow women
which the sun melts
and all fall to earth
and the earth becomes one
large hoary snow ball
until the next
change in the fall

MYSTIC SPRING
A Methusalean warp,
In-and-out of body time,
When renewal seems to split.
Soul conceives a mystic pair,
One, atop, with fresh tulips
One neath a burial wreath
This dichotomy cries out,
One from cackling, mortal fear
Unknown dimension other
But allow those sunbirds sing
Gather new thy hoary self
And accept this mystic spring

When I enlisted in the Air Force, homosexuality was illegal,
Then it became optional and has recently been declared legal!
Now that I've been long retired and have grown old and hoary,
I'm thankful I got out before someone decided to make it mandatory!

hoary-adj.-grayish white usually meaning frost or white hair of an aged person
The word orange can be pronounced with one or two syllables. I checked in several ways.

Eternal Sleep of mine
Wish could come at a better time
The work still unknown
but sleep seems grown
The bitter pillar that I consumed
but truth still doomed
Perfect path I took
I was on tenter hook
Though the hopes were high
for the fog still loomed
The hoary glasses
look is unknown
I rub my eyes
Could I see the sky
But the moon seems unknown

octobre slinks forth
relinquishing heat-scorched earth ~
salacious summer
enflamed leaves embracing
dalliance with wilder winds ~
erotic fall tryst
hoary trees exposed
brazenly displayed bosom ~
scandalous winter
new bulbs gamboling
commoved carefree canoodling ~
warm sassy spring

It seems that I write and I write and I write
and somehow that's not really alright
to fritter away these precious moments
Just when did I assume I'd the right...
I sense that it's become a stale habit
a morbid ritual, fatalistic, hoary rite
Deep in my soul, I know something's not right
that I write and I write and I write...
