clouds surge latticed sky
melted dusk canopy dark…
wilted willow weeps

Autumn spreads latticed spectrum,
trees absorb the color burst,
paint the leaves gold as they wilt,
fall on blazed meadow.

Listen to poem:

Clay saucer
clay pot
potting soil
striped triangular stone
tiny green bud
tall bamboo stalk
fleshy green leaves
held in place by
patio umbrella crank
sits on latticed
black round wrought iron
table at Bart’s Books
Ojai, California,
quiet, peaceful,
so serene
till a bookstore-hating baby
screams....

Tender tendrils climb the wall
Up towards the sky
Past the latticed windows tall
Clinging on from high.

Then in springtime buds in red
Pout with lips apart
Inhibitions they all shed
And seduce my heart.

On the Champ de Mars
(Beehive of activity)
Stands an engineering feat
Of latticed design
Ridiculed architecture
That survives the test of time.

Between want and desire
few crumbs of words
will not satisfy.

Facts and perception
build a latticed smile
between tears.

Discreetly life catches
a miasm, a fault
to commit suicide.

When will the exile end,
of hope, a holy womb?
The stink was rising.

Amnesty for amniotic fluid,
fetus was dead
Godmother was crying.

Spring breeze whispers in my ear 
Colors spread on sunburst sky 
Your floral fragrance wafts near 
On latticed wings of lured butterfly.

On your stardust sprinkled mesmeric meadow,
as I walked my yearning in the diaphanous night,
my heart turned to tinsel studded sky, flashing far.
You looked into transparent me, saw an astral sight
in celestial garden where the stars blossomed for you,
strands of their patina weaved the lattice of my dream.

April wood anenomes
Latticed branches high above
Gold pink orange swaying
Crows caw bees hum galore 
Distant foxhounds baying

April wood anenomes
Tattooed black line etchings
Charcoal burnings do reek
I sense bluebells waiting
Grass still, under boughs creak

April wood anenomes
Fronded petals caress
Darting the fervid Thrush
Breezes sweet flow coolly
Creation waits; a rush.'...

With his long narrow beak he drank
drawing out nectar from a flower 
it was an Eastern Red Columbine,  
an Aquilegia wild desire ...

Nature was singing a sweet refrain 
sending sunshine to my visitor 
with wings spread he extracted,  
using a tubular beak and tongue;

He was a welcome guest 
inside this beautiful garden  
From a latticed gazebo I espied 
as he took delight, in every sip...

Ascending unto the fourth pinnacles auspicious plyth ~


To quantumly observe these plateaus regions of oeuvre


Molten monograms of monarchies scripted immure; immolating


These gravitating exhibits of perceptions inter alia


Past particles of meticulously latticed perplexities....

....Quid pro quo?!

Her beauty shines in waters still,
Where ne’er a ripple disturb,
A whispered prayer seeks her will.

Her light reflects upon the ground,
In shards of latticed silver lace,
She lands without the lightest sound.

She dances on the earth awhile,
With barely moving slender feet,
She graces love with beauty’s smile.

Within the darkness of the night
For love, she’ll cast her witch’s spell,
And thus release the soul to flight.

Skin transformed to silver beneath the sweep of leaves, 
Peach and nitrate in the moon glow and the shaven silhouette; 
Filtered through the branches, latticed on her breast, 
Polychromatic prisms corralled in pin-prick beads of sweat. 

Summer heat and darkness enticed us ever closer, 
Bathed in pallid moonbeams and stardust memories; 
Laying down together, we as one upon the soil, 
And the heavens smiled upon us as we dreamed beneath the trees......

The fantasy vision of a three year old
Expression of wonder he couldn’t hold 
Seeing a picture captured on the phone
Thinks it’s not a place in his known zone.

Clumps of cloud drifting in sky one by one
Turn into a fascinating flotilla of flying swan
On their wings latticed sunbeams as fairies rise
Framed in a snapshot of the infantile paradise.
