Leading the Blind

Charted lanes of custom,
 complacency alights
familiarity trumping all
—mindless in the night

Sunday Holiday

Lanes are still;
and church music drifts.
Brilliant noon.
Fragrant rose,
Cat and purple butterfly,
Hearts are filled with love.

The Fog

The fog hangs low at dusk
orange light creeps it's way along the fields
smoke plumes drift up into the shrouded sky
and we walk along the lanes.

Autumn Splendor

Along country lanes

    Paved with leaves of red and gold

        Mellow shadows fall

Silent Fall

Listen to poem:
autumn rains leaves on path
shrouds lanes in aftermath

game is played on rope swings
love is swayed, fallout brings

swing falls silent, regrets
leaf palls its shed, forgets

Luminance

Luminance

      Life's lessons lurk in
   Labyrinthic lanes of mind;
 Light  the lamp within

Exposure, a Sijo

A glinting light fabricated under wilting hallows;
Yet darkness reigns as truth through fallow lanes runs hoarse and shallow;
So light as heaven's feather be the turns of ray and shadow.

Driving Where We Used To Ride

6 earthmovers terracing a hill, 
no more horses in a swale of green.				
4 lanes westbound, 4 lanes east. 
Caterpillars are eating the fields> 
We take the long easy curves
black-shod.

Painful Falls

It's nature's will in Autumn trees—
To slip out of offbeat colors.
There lay crushed prose he saw through her.
My unattached ground still does bleed
From raked walks on lanes— those who leave.

Open Swim at Six

Open Swim at Six See many arms, like shark fins, in pool lanes. In laps, dusting off dark, The shiver starts on their mark. Young stars heading for the lark.

A Violent Earthquake

It came after midnight as bells rang,
most people were asleep as buildings swayed,
light poles fell down empty lanes,
cars and buses crashed into trains, 
smoke rose from gas lines as they exploded.

Hurricane Lonely

Disaster seems to follow, wherever I go.
I journey quickly through busy city streets, roads and lanes.
People shout and scream, they run at my arrival.
I only want to be loved, alas i'm a hurricane.

Witch

Which way does the spell go? 
Where does her fury go? 
Wry face and fuming heart
Wilted meadow we see
Witching hour saddles her
Waiting to cast the spell
Walking on mystic lanes

RLF Was Right

Caught at
a crossroad
duality
reigns
Closing 
you off
or opening
lanes
That choice
staring back
in the distance
provides
A new 
destination 
or a place
— you can hide

City Life

Chasing the Goodlife
Traveling far in packed trains
Wonder why I can’t see sky

Narrow lanes, pigsty
Close my eyes to begging kids
Needy, feeling within me.

Time Gone

A while
Surprise
Few miles
Determined
To be
Time gone.

Passing through
Fast lanes
Unclaimed.

Years abroad
Months are gone
Weeks roll by
Days fly.

Hours, minutes, and seconds
Time has expeditiously gone by.

Walk

Gentle exercise
is recommended
for older persons.
Enjoyable, fun,
not too physical.

Stroll along lanes,
under  bridges
around a lake
or through the woods

It’s pleasant 
relaxing
and easy.

Why not
take a

walk

Reflection's Prayer

Creamy hot chocolate
    bathes windowpanes

  Two Clydesdales trot smartly
    down cobblestone lanes

  Through the trees, moon rises
    pools of light, reflection's prayer

  Rest now, reminders 
    ~ of an era unscared

Covid 19 Teen

I let my heart to fly like a kite
Holding the string tight

At her

All lanes kept locked down
To do no touch
To do no hug 
Disabled by default all 

Enemy of love
To harm my heart?

Jealousy of my love 
This Covid 19 teen?

My Lovely Cumbria

Dry stone walls
And rambling lanes
Fell ponies with six foot manes 
Farmers at the market with sheep  to sell
Snow in the winter blocking shap fell
Wellies in the kitchen 
Straw in the hall
Not forgetting the barometer on the wall.

The Times Were Not Easy

Narrow cobblestone lanes
          The clop-clop of horse-drawn buggies
            The crack of the whip...

          Pots of Steam on blackened stoves
          Whooping cough, scarlet fever
             Stale bread, castor oil...

Death by Design

Down dusty lanes we quietly stroll  
Fallen' leaves , red and brown decorate the ground
memories covered with smoke and haze
fill simpler days of choices made
coming close to playful pursuit
death by design leads to life in the twilight

Skyscraper

high rise
get high rays
and wetter 
on wet days
closer 
to aeroplanes
in lanes like cars 
soldiers of concrete
steel feet in wars
in pillars 
like Lot’s wife
or muggers
with sharp knife
hanging in blocks
or flocks 
stabbing the sky
