as sun follows prairie rain . . .

wild larkspur sparkles

seek pickings
on a dirty

A
sea pie
provides a

a morning glory 
peasants sow paddy saplings
larks hop in their eyes

meadow larks melodic songs
uplift the most hardened hearts
reminding us of grandmothers
hollyhocks, and bleeding hearts
an innocent and softer time....

No wings
no flight 
just darts 
and light
blue birds
blue words
six dots on sight
shots in the dark
moans and larks
six dots six reasons six thoughts...

murmurs of silvered petal-
                           willows waving in the wind

soaring over the cornfield- 
                            an exaltation of larks...

meadow grass swaying
as larks serenade their mates. . .

Larks still sweetly sing at the rising of each morn
Inviting memories to flood my damaged heart.
Fear not the passing of my time, you whispered, dear
Embrace the life we shared, the one you have to come....

The dulcet larks in oak trees bring a smile
On cue, here comes the sun melting the grey
I walk you down the garland-bordered aisle
So Mom and I could (quote) 'give you away'
One poem ends and one begins today...

Spring is swinging blossoms blow, kissing waving.
   Larks now rising flutter by, sweetly singing.
   Flowers swaying dancing to natures embrace,
   Gracefully sashays.

Hear the peace around the aqua lake;
no bright clouds float, no wind chases them...
where are the eagles that the larks hate?
Is silence the hint of a whim?
White, gray and green soften the eyes
as mountains and hills show their colors....

He was poetically intolerant,
she thought herself an Emily
writing sonnets 'how do I love...'
he indulged her feeble whimsies
in light of other finessed talents, 
essentially, larks amidst boudoir's  
uncommonly emboldened expertise...

whippoorwill
trills a
song

larks
in trees
sing along

croaking frogs
join the
throng

then
crickets
chirp with ease

symphony
on the
breeze

Two larks fight circling the dangling banana flowers
The old uncle Harold with the palm on the chin looks at and smiles
The children walking to their school gurgling and giggling

Larks parched on power lines
seem hoards of drowsy sheep. 

Soft eyes of child with tears
sparkle with stellar gleams.

Moon climbs on crimson clouds
like squirrels climb tall trees.

Fireflies descend from clouds, 
children think they are stars....

Like a wanderer wave I am!
So be charmed and crooned
O my death when the death comes,
Or be bright as the sun,
Delighted by sing of larks 

O come delicious death 
I am a wanderer wave
Wants to delve deep into the sea

Tomorrow
larks will spend their songs
at sunrise...
where the skies,
washed clean, will glimmer beyond
the blossoming trees

early wet fountain 
my gorgeous new puppy barks
at the ripples pond

oh! dampish fish fountain
this cute little puppy larks 
drinks the pond water

A lark smiles and chats
With sunrays in Ankara 
Hunter shoots it dead

Vengeance in a truck
Mows down people in Berlin
In Christmas shopping

Pain in pink ribbons
Thorns in vengeful souls stubborn
Sun and moon look on

Justice for the toil
of staid leaves
as upon autumn
they begin to shine,
before death,
they come alive.

Reverberant but yet!!
not a sound,
as their metemorphosis
descends to ground.

Such pain I feel
for the blessed leaves
and the larks that sang
upon their breeze....

In the field flowers bloom,
Poppies grow
Among the gloom.

The mounds, 
Blanketed like a bed,
A permanent place for the resting dead.

The ground,
In which they rest is dark.
Lulled to sleep by the singing larks.

Many loved ones,
Lie so still.
Conquering the cemetery hill....

all gazing there up,
't was time to drop.
the cloud shift'd beautifully.
excit'd by the show,
our boys did ignore
the lazy lark wittingly.

while larks larked festive,
Ben waxed real sportive,
n'saw no trees shaking nearby.
a vulture schemed wise,
afloat their reverse,
the Choco won a goodbye....

Sing me a song because my heart yearns to grieve. Sing me a song so my eyes might shed the tears my body detains.

Dearest lark, my souls songbird, I wish to be consumed by you'r dreary melody. Spare me this. agony and sing to me, I beg of thee, So I might no longer hear the bleeding of reacurring Pang....

Skywardly yearning,
wheeling and turning,
an exaltation of larks!
Lines interleaving,
wings interweaving
an orchestration of arcs!

Just shadow and light
imbuing their flight,
shape-shifting magic they fly.
With artistic flair,
their canvas the air,
this brush of wings paints the sky!
