Premium Member Lupins

Along the highway lovely lupins are seen
Vibrant pink, purple, and white interspersed amidst the green
Gently wavering to and fro with every passing car 
A brief respite standing tall and bright
against the asphalts encroaching blight

Premium Member Stitching Skies' Stories

mountain ridges of clouds
  o'er my windshield spread
interspersed, baby-blue patches
  brilliant spaces, like threads
stitching skies' stories together
  a hobbled glance ahead of
cars tethered to a 
  snarled, honking freeway,
blustery rage moving in, I dread

on these
          heights
of ectasy 
         &joy
the highs
      the lows
so often
      come then
                    go:
happiness
      interspersed
with sadness,
thus
      is love...
                ..in life

Autumn

Auburn interspersed with deep dark green
Under skies of China blue, air chilled
Transience now defining feature seen
Unset mellow summer cast distilled
Masks impending season, lulls the mind
Nulling coming darkness, close confined

Cognitive Dissonance

The daily slideshow
'Editor's Pick'
shows drunken revelers
high on an orgy
of celebration
interspersed with 
devastation
in war zones
and a man who killed because -
'Get out of my country'
a hate crime
the slow scroll of images
presented in a microcosm
of the world today
no wonder the refugees
look confused

WINTER MAGIC

WINTER MAGIC

Winter is often thought to be white
But types of magic are white or black
Albeit one can dodge winter’s worst
Few may realise when they are cursed
Especially when magic got there first
And with incantations is interspersed
With cold wrinkled lips tightly pursed
A spell can still get you coming back
True warmth is better than cold spite

Premium Member Night Waves

Black striated clouds interspersed
With red sun and blue
Observed by the morning star's light
Sounds entertain but few  

Fog fluffy pillows dance 'pon pines
Night creatures still sing mirth
Fanbrushed clouds turn cobalt
Wait for day to be birthed

Night waves good bye to day
Whip-Poor-Will's song cease
Soon all of surrounding heat up
Day's journey heat release

Premium Member Spring On the Mountain

From a lofty height
That first day of spring
That mountain side seemed
To be filled with green

Interspersed with dead
Of those decideous trees
The pines shone forth
The shiny, waxy leaves

Soon ten shades of green
Mingled with white blossoms
Of the dogwoods of April
Come to  the mountain

Come to the mountain 
In April, meet me there
We can share the spring
Where lovers hearts sing

Two Souls Know

Sun shone cheerily when we greeted our new life.
Merriments, not memories lifted lifelong strife.
Immense endearments, as your wife, I bestow.  
Like lavender lilacs laced in loves’ golden glow.
Every kindheartedness liberated pains flow.
Smiles replaced sorrow; together, souls know.

Life

Life’s
Unpredictable,
Earth-shattering at times,
Interspersed with uncanny calm.
Life’s
Peaks ‘n’ valleys,
Curves ‘n’ straight-a-ways,
Hairpin turns ‘n’ lazy “S”s.
It takes a steady hand
To navigate the journey.
Unwavering balance
To conquer the narrow path.
An unrelenting gait
For striding toward the goal.
Eyes focused on the prize.
Arms reaching for assistance.
He sees my plight,
He walks to me,
He grasps my hands
And leads me through the clutter.

Dusk

A drowsy sun has closed his eye Leaving me in tinted twilight Hemorrhaging color by degrees until I stood in blue-black night. Dusk is the darkest of twilight where sights and sounds become adverse: a contrived unreality, imagination unrehearsed and interspersed with primal fears. Harmless shadows act out phantoms conjured deep within my psyche. Howls and hoots: night sounds most fearsome Quasi-influential fancy when dusk attains ascendancy.

Drought

Pedaling along river drive empty plastic grocery bags fluttered and flapped from tree branches like lost battle surrender flags that line the drought-stricken river. Their interspersed clings reminded me of inundated levels this now anemic river reached; where once the floodwaters surged south along its journey to the sea its now imperceptive flow struggles, its intimate's exposed: river-bottom, water-worn rocks sit like petrified bowler hats.

The High Line

Elevated railroad tracks
Abandoned long ago
Have been transformed into a place
Where grass and flowers grow.

With benches made of wood or stone
And artwork interspersed,
The desolation and despair
Have all but been reversed.

If visiting the city
Is a plan that you have made
Then walk upon the High Line
And behold what’s there displayed.	

It’s part and parcel of the town
But also quite unique
So stroll the High Line if
A New York feeling’s what you seek.

Busy Or Not

Certain weeks I’m busy
And I run around a lot
So I’m either in a tizzy
Or I’m wondering why not.

For when plans are sometimes lacking
You might think I’d just relax
But I sent those calm genes packing
And I’m antsy to the max.

Though, with age in the equation,
Staying home at times appeals
And I don’t need much persuasion
If the cold nips at my heels.

Yet it’s balance I am seeking,
Busy interspersed with not.
Too much either way I’m freaking
(Which I tend to do a lot).
