there is a man outside
my house
it is dark
and i cannot
see his face
he is masked
or so it seems
the robber
is outside my house

All About the Time

Time is not ours to run 
we run out of a time 
overhearing sometimes 
timeless legends 
of similar kind
in pursuit of onece own time

Boom

Noises cease
Energies shift
Heads turn
Motions freeze

Voices cheer
Legends bow
Posters appear
Checks flow

Screams
Beams

Searching for ideas
necessary to our existence

Never deal in cents to lose your drip,
Watch and feel the legends and pay a trib.
Mighty sword bends by the force of nib,
Lost sight of the shore and winds left the ship.

Premium Member No Man An Island, But His Girl

From the first sightings of manatees
grew the legends of mermaids? O, please!
Either eye tests are fails,
or the sailor’s from Wales,
and has spent too much time on the seas.

Muskoka

Inukshuks abound the roadsides
Carefully orchestrated not to collapse
Offering meaningful direction
Throughout Muskoka's north country
Mindful of legends and lore
Indigenous in the spirit

In legends of old when just a lad
Country farmers according to dad
Upon one’s head a flat cap
To face the sun crafty chap
Whence to tell one the time deemed the fad.

Dark clouds form aura
Hiding mysterious moon

Premium Member Come To the Library Friend

Fierce mythical dragons 
Legends galore
Galloping determined steeds,
Knighthood and more.

King Arthur’s round table
Loves of Queen Guinevere
Come to the library, friend. 
They will always be near.

       breakfast
       greeting their portraits
       dinner reservations 
       toast speeches stirring
       late-night confabs
       heroic gazes
       mythic legends
       tuck us in bed

Arguments are won

Cold Fire
Bach over reaches
Arguments are won in dusk
Time brings to the brink
when you discover
tomorrow's sun
was blazoned in her shadow
legends crumbling
we succumb
to the languid legend
