A tainted fountain
A useless, unkept landmark
Though waters made sweet...

Thatched hut in the sun,
Trees and balloons as landmark,
Journey to embark!

A big butt is my sister’s curse 
Her landmark is legend of verse
Small minds would unwrap
As sun it would sap
Her clothes need a map to transverse...

gold leaf Renaissance clock
a rare but unique landmark beauty,
giving us the time in Roman numerals
who can read such a clock?
such intricate details
her clockmaker was brilliant...

La Maison Rose
She is a landmark restaurant
bringing fame to Bateau Lavoir
I dine on dainty croissants and sip my orange tea
We are both elegant and rich,
And now I am feeling French....

GOETHE’S PATH

Jake Castle placed a landmark.
He was not on ordinary trip.
His Goethe’s Path was rampart.
In the forest, he trekked.

a campaign was waged 
against the demolition 
of the emotionally historic landmark
where the land of friendships founders first 
started construction of the ties that bound the bridge between 
the two internal communities...

Remark:
Build ark

Rain, hark
Embark!

Aardvarks?
No sharks!

Big spark
One lark

It’s dark
Landmark!

Let’s park
Debark

I slept in vision,
Wake up with a mission,
Of different versions,
The version to fulfill my vision,
he mission to uphold my vision,
The mission to make it in life,
The vision of excellence,
The versions of success,
…Integrity and landmark,
A footprint in a globe....

In this world of 7 billion 
I write this verse.
For me , the recognition
doesn't  matter
I dont tend to leave 
any landmark behind .
But who I was 
Will always  be weighed up
through the people I influence.
My name does not matter,
For what I did matters.
After all , Whats in a name.........

I will accept 
the curse 
of acquisition.


You wear an epic 
on the fingers.
I read a virgin.

My shadow joins 
the moon at night.
How tall were you ?

Hold my arm 
once. In terror 
I had kisses an old flame.

Death will be 
my only landmark.
My journey ends in your arms.

Even the most familiar surroundings were unrecognized 
A most fathomless affair; the search for yesterday 
The Old Library and playground were also gone 
The Chinaberry tree, a landmark, was gone
A most strange emotion hovered over me, 
And every trace of the homesite was gone

315  Bowery
Cavern dark
Steep stairways
Rebel yell
Graffiti walls,
Landmark underground
Outcast mall.
Cradle of Punk
Sweet rock n roll
Loud lullabies,
Awakening calls.
Talking Heads
Blondie
The Ramones beat,
Historic toilet rooms
Flush no more.
An era gone
Silent sleep
My CBGB days
Hilly Kristal,
You may keep....

Different feelings,
     distinct dreams,
     populate  solitude...!
    All forms of au revoir
    date an appointment here,
    or elsewhere...all future
    has its hole, its landmark
    its past tense... just love
    that stays is eternal...
    The feeling that creates it,
    it's source of everything
    it permeates, lives and creates...!...

my bedroom mirror is broken -
an arrant illustration of torment
wrists landmark a spectacle carved in crimson blood
damaged mutterings seeking acceptance
darkness in the corners of self
rapacious hunger cut off by unfilled desire
ribs devoured and exposed, but covered
hiding pain in plain sight
famished; none the wiser
with a cracked precision, I smile...

when the stars first formed in an unlit sky,
i opened my eyes and wondered why.

when the weather turned and scooped me up,
i flew and swam and never looked back.

when the sun beat fast and lightning flashed,
i laughed at the madness as my dreams were smashed.

but when the first flowers opened and i saw the colour blue,
i cried with joy at the thought of you....

Hither and thither-
of planks of bark!
and ruffled ground
with bittery spark.
The silver pool 
of dead old leaves,
bites a colden wound
'neath the shrubs 
and trees.

And timber wolves
will rouse the snow-
and their coal nose will
sniffle the deepening low.
The ears will curtsie,
held within their paws.
Its Duluth's landmark
of winter's sufferage law.

A canopy of live oak trees  
That landmark signals rest is near
Time to have fun and to be free
A canopy of live oak trees
Calls my thoughts away on the breeze
Memories though somewhat unclear
A canopy of live oak trees?
That landmark signals rest is near 



Inspired by a picture in Andrea's contest
Imperfect meter I am sure for I really don't do meter...

Hunchback of Notre Dame
Up in his bell tower hideout
Recluse guardian of
The most famous cathedral
Through all ages
Parisian landmark
Immortalized in world literature
Heart of harrowing drama
What's left of his undying love 
For his beautiful Esmeralda

Come and read poems with me by the fire.
One we engraved with our youthful bright eyes.
And age staunch landmark recites our choir.
Come and read poems with me by the fire.
On flame spire, let it rise and dance higher.
With fine meter and rhyme, poems will rise.
Come and read poems with me by the fire.
One we engraved with our youthful bright eyes.

Spirits of Our Dreams


Perhaps, will cross the universe tonight.
Traversing the stars in all their 
majestic flight,

In fairy dreams, I skipping on
billowing  cloud streams,
Rushing to you, male poet of
my fondest dreams.

Hiding, hugging finally, dear, under
a most jealous moon.
That brightens love’s landmark,
I shall be kissing you, soon.

A regular walk to the park
My baby’s favourite landmark
Not more than half a mile away 
Where kids like to run and play

In the centre of the busy town
A place filled with giggling sound
Not only by little princes and angels
This place is liked by parents, as well, 

Rows of beautiful flowers
A big wide tree in the corner
The green grass covering the ground
Swings,slides and see-saws all around....

The tree was wracked with age, disease
  her branches missing bark and leaves
Chill rains attacked -- it coughed, it wheezed
  Resistance gone, what good to grieve

Once tall and stately, proud to be
  the loveliest of maple trees
Her sap flowed rich throughout the Fall
  Delicious treat for one and all

So sad to see a landmark die
  Enough to make a grown man cry

An escape from the congested world 
Of routine or great expectations
The waterfall becomes
An outstanding landmark
To our eyes and our souls
The waterfall rushes down 
From the heaven
A symbol of 
Vigour and life
Confidence
Determination
Perseverance
And truths
It splashes to form
Pearly sprays and circling ripples
It  gives hopes 
To the hearts and the souls
Of nature lovers and philosophers...
