   feeds ostrich through car’s window,

Joy (Pleiades)    

Jettison leaden thoughts
Juxtapose light and dark
Join me in spreading the
Jovial mood of love
Jump with pure elation
Jocund spirits outwit
Jealousy, hate and fear.

Flowers Greeting ‘Xmas

       All beautiful chrysanthemums, dahlias,
       enchanting flowers,
      gorgeous hibiscus
     in jocund kaleidoscope,
     lovely marigolds, nice overwhelming pansies,
      queenly roses, snowdrops, tulips,
      unnoticed violet
     welcomes ‘Xmas
      yearning zest.

PACIFISM 

Peace will get only through pacifism. 
Amity may resulting the nation's unity. 
Cessation of war can emerge the peace. 
Immoral weeds like ethnisity must expunge. 
Fighting is not the only way for dispute. 
Impassivity leads to demise the people. 
Serenity of nation induce jocund of populace. 
Mayhem must eface and - 

Let the peace must grow in the nation....

Sometimes we fail to see our faults
because of pride and haughty flaws
which tends to shut all friendship doors
even as chanticleer the bird recalls

A certain season with no remorse
he had to act a gross of chores
as a means to heal his sores
he gave his best to best the course

and all went well as a cause
so be jocund and prudent in tours
learn from chanticleer and get no curse
for pride goeth before the falls....

Validate Spring with its plenipotentiary pollen.
Green sawdust all about the ground, car and porch -
Shaken free from the jocund trees with budding leaves.
Before the season’s even warm, they’re all in.

The celebration of pubescent branches causes us
Below to agitated fits - eyes water, nasal drips.
Still we admire the fashion of pinks, whites, and greens.
The youths, so lovely in their resurrection dress.

roses have opened their layers of lids
the eyes of nature are looking around
clouds swept in by a jocund breeze
attempt to travel in consistent unions
closing each hole to preserve the Blue
for the days of that summer to follow

roofs are awaiting the kiss of the sun
making them swelter in the stillness
at noon when nature seems dreaming
enthralled by the blossoms of linden 
the fragrance so sweet can hold all the
heat and the joy of summers gone by...

old tree, ancient soul
         witness to generations
whispers in the wind
roots connect us to joint past
          weaves our futures together

I enter the wooded area and am greeted by a jocund congregation of green waving in a fragranced breeze. The lyrics of the old trees, their ancient-whispered song, sing to my soul. Walking amongst them is spiritual, almost meditative. In physical terms I move through them. In metaphysical terms, they move through me. We are woven together.
