The wise owl watches
  The cunning fox prowls
The lordly lion stalks its prey -- 
  The hapless human stares at a screen


As Regards These Little Creatures

Whether of what, o'ershadows
For our lordly ways
At the level of a friend
Do keep us always;
If low bent, or on grazed knees
Preferential eyed.
What applies to any child
Can here be applied.

The Crow

He spreads his lordly cape to slow his descent, gloved talons softly gripping metal throne, his obsidian pallium opulent and ominous. Empowered by wonder and awe, I swallow fear, holding the chthonic messenger’s gaze

Curiosity binds us
The vigilant Seraphim turns

Lorelei of the Leaves

See how the lowly myrtle seduces the lordly pine. She entwines her arms around him, he submits. Beneath them falls their issue: not flesh, nor sinew, nor bone, Only, sweet symmetrical cone, its perfect whorls and burls, the best of both worlds.

Our World's Coinhabitants

With as little thought, think you
Can be brushed aside
All their concerns, as waste of
Sweepings to one side?

Then have you not once witnessed
The regard given
To duck clans, a road, crossing.
Respect, more lordly
To elephant, real king, he
By pride-shrunk, stomped men!

Warrior of Moss and Fir

Don’t you see,
 A battle rages
Away above the grasses
The mighty trees throw spears of air
And bend to dodge the blades
Or cones where thrown by lordly pines
As cut by edges hewn like hands;
These lush and greening splays
Appendages of bows
The warriors, donned of moss and fir

Swan Fly

Hovering onward
Peaceful, and courtly
Gorgeous, somewhat large
Soar'ng, ever so lordly
Informal feathered friend
This birdie fly
In a cheerful, breezy high

Within misty, sky fogs 
Untamed vigor
Beautiful drifter
Greatness of feathers
Shimmering and golden
For a Swan life, beholden

The Bell Flower

It rings; open-ended shape of a bell,
Especially a flower -but to ring?
Only to a heart and fills air with smell
With scent and not sound yet it still will sing.
Air made so fresh by such a lovely thing.
Bell Flowers fills air with its stifling sweet,
Bells blessed by Lordly rain and suns kind heat.

Birdie Fly

Hovering onward, peaceful and courtly
Gorgeous, somewhat large, soar'ng ever lordly
An informal feathered friend, birdie fly
Completely in a cheerful, breezy, high

Misty fogs, the stars, an untamed vigor
So staggering, a beautiful drifter
Greatness of feathers, shimmering golden
Grand new respect for the life, beholden

Bella T

Brusque cold snaps crisp as a pine needle stab
evoking shivers in the elevated altitude silence
Lordly evergreen points, pierce the ephemeral
like aspen gold splashing in the emerald thrall,
as the lake now stills to glassy gray from aqua ~

Tahoe broods before the snow to stay stalwart

Casually callow
superficial and shallow
this young media fellow.

Lordly and light
trivial and trite,he sat
filling the moment with tat.

Sketchily slight
meekly absorbing
every sound bite.

Clips so neat
in endless repeat    the spin
with an endless grin.

In-depth review so lacking
as instant opinions abound
impartiality missing  unfound.

Love Tribute To a Native American Man In Alaska

Love tribute to a NATIVE AMERICAN MAN 
By Victoria Anderson-Throop

In Alaska

By gray sea

Walks a man

Who looks for me

Magnificent----Lordly—

Predator at ease

City burdens cast aside

Grace in every stride

Burnished face of natural pride

Eyes of love personified

As we meet beneath red oaks

Summer sun our golden cloaks

What delight sweet love can be

When 
each 
touch  
breathes ecstasy
