cold air layering downward
surfaces...
warm moistured-ground airs
rising...
to be seen as bubble-face reflections
of...
round rain drops bowing colors
in air...

Folding in the flowers
in the basket in my mind
layering the poppies
with the marigolds and vines
eyes like sweet forget me nots
gazing at the moon,
gleaning through our garden
on a memory in June.

Couplet
The laggard oak leaves
skitter like brown field mice
their stem-tails and sharp edges
scratching across the road.
Grates and bushes trap them.
Layering they accumulate
awaiting the recomposition of life.

Personification
Softly silver snow sifts, soundless,
lattice-like, a lacquered lace of layering light,
startling sparrows, shyly shivering for shelter,
on leafless, lustered limbs - lancets, londonite.

Grooving Time
Many beginnings and ends
Leave behind careless finger prints
Errors' dust and residue
Layering one's facade
But beneath it all
If embraced
Destiny's motion
Remains on course
Like the needle
In a record's groove
Fate travels true the path
‘til one's song runs out

A snow day what a lovely day the sight of the beautiful glistening white blankets of snow layering the once bright green grass and the trees usually covered by bright green leaves are now laden with snow and icicles protrude down from the branches the rhythmic sound of the snow crunching beneath ones feet oh yes a snow day what a lovely day

Boldly striking icy and white
Layering and building piles of snow
Intensely stacking to block all site
Zealously covering all with each blow
Zoning in to place the powder left to right
As high winds strengthen to continue this fight
Raging, destroying and yet leaving an ominous glow
Deceiving with the quiet calm of this mighty foe

They tell you to ment what is broken,
but what if broken is ment to be broken.
They show you a world without flaws
but what if our reality comes with withdraws
A gift of imperfections to shine upon the surface
Layering emotions that do make us nervous
As fear is the chain that keeps us in line
So tight up to the system as we bite our time

Rhyme
June morning promising, bright
Hours full of silky light
Framed by ominous smokey gray foresight
Until the warning rumble of rain
Brings the cloud's revenge on sun's domain
The tumbling water's weight gathers vice
Layering grass in diamond-cut ice
Our season's roses, crystallized
Under dazzling sheen of glacier guise
With summer thunder, harmonized.

Rhyme
Snowflakes fall thither to the drapes of my heart,
Savoring strong bonds to the joy of days anew,
Layering six feet of emotions forlorn,
Fear is all I feel, and my heart has split to two.
Will the sun ever shine like in days of old?
Will its warmth ever thaw these thickets of ice?
I long for that day when men shall be one,
When love and unity shall become comm’n ground.

Classicism
A warped perception created by the insecurities of society. Not motivated by nature or intuition, but of layering. Years of negativity, discouragement and unawareness adding grit to the already hazy lens. Deep into suffering, but the end; in no sight. Let the end be dimness, and the light be the start. The viciousness of a cycle; the circle uniting nature and man. I, who speaks, but a gesture from divine.

Sycamores
are amazing trees
shedding bark like skin
removing dry and brittle layers
to reveal new pristine smooth pale green hues.
The bark peels and laps over
like a tongue languishing,,
thirsty,, panting in the Sun
and layering the trunk of patchwork design
in a fresh clean quilting.
Hail to the Sycamores
standing kingly tall
unflinchingly in the wind
reaching toward the sky
with triple crowns of leaves up high.

Forsake thee not!
For the winds may blow strong,
but the guilt will not blow away.
Like a coat, layering thee with warmth,
will remain with you and on you.
It will be your doing; to have the coat
removed.
Forsake thee not!
For though water cleanses thee,
the guilt, like an anchor, will weigh
strong and drag thee down.
Surface and remove thy weight.
For thee alone can change thy future
and effect change for those who care.
Forsake thee not!

Bitter cold creeps in through my bedroom window.
Wind chimes clang on the porch to announce her arrival.
December making way for the nuances of January.
I am layering up.
Two pairs of socks.
Two pairs of slacks.
Fluffy hooded sweatshirt
Over t-shirt and sweater.
Why do I live in this freezing tundra?
Whistling at the window, making frost.
Gorgeously done crystallized and pretty.
Beautiful winter day, and I am cozy.
Not tempted to move to Florida yet.

My skin is getting old where it has weathered against the world
Yet, I sit comfortable with my soul at my side
Watching the past
From the view on my hill
Sometimes I cry.
Sometimes I laugh
With the tides
Exposing jagged truths and embarrassing reality.
Still, the gentle Wind forgives
Sweeping in from the Great Sea
Blanketing the animals and the land
Smoothing the edges
Layering the heart like a pearl
Preparing to illuminate the spirit protected within.

I do not know?
Layering stroke by stroke
the syllables of filtered mist's breath,
eastern winds spin like a circle of tropical
fish and flower beds on a lattice...
and the soft tresses of this air pours
on wayfarers sort of crystal beads new.
Then another circle whistles
inside my flesh, a sponge... an oasis,
bathing loin towel of morn dawning;
how its flavor speaks and lifts
trinkets of jeweled drops
to lightly swirl away.... mid way.
