Nestled justly,
the thief he slumbers
sprawled spreadeagled
upon my bed.
By witching hour
his deafening snore
drives one to ...
Lumbering lethargy.

Sandy, soft, sacred soil savored
Calm, cool, canopied, carefree place
Picturesque painting a panacea
Luminous, luculent road lumbering home

Great lumbering beasts
Single file, follow behind
Slowly time moves on.

Holding onto no heart true
Where hers still broken
Still lasting day after day
In lumbering feelings threw

Verse
Searching the country, the inspectors interviewed
every single inhabitant, from lithe ballerinas to lumbering dudes ...
Out of myriad possibilities, they found only two
on whom everyone agreed ~ THEY would never do!

Ed is a beast, a bruiser, a big baboon
We expected a lumbering oaf, a goon
Her description had much jocundity
He was quite lovely, as we would soon see
Why did you set us up thinking he was a clown?
I knew when you met him, there’d be no letdown.

While destiny ditched me dearly in a dire domain
my lumbering life left me lovelorn in a languishing limbo,
With all of my lackluster longing long gone
my haggard and heavy-laden heart hurts heartily.

R estless minutes; tedious hours,
E ndless seconds, as void devours,
P lodding, hobbling, lumbering thru
E ternal moments,
A waiting the emptiness of
T he continual songs of boredom… an
E verlasting, Interminable, repeated
D ullness, that one day will forever fade…

Acrostic
As I kook to the trees
To hang and blow through the breeze
Empty of life
Mind of pain and strife
The torment of suffering lumbering smothering puzzling wondering of death to the end where thoughts become nothing as the hollow tree trunks find fear to be no longer something.

THE BOTTLE FLY
HARMLESS AND CUDDLY
IN IT’S LUMBERING BEAUTY
ALL METALIC
LIKE THE COOLER PLANETS MUST BE
SHINY GREEN AND BLUE
NUZZLES ME AS I LAY ON THE FLOOR
PASSING AWAY
WATCHING MY MERCURIAL FREIND
GRACEFULLY AND WITH GREAT CARE
WALK
ON MY
STILL
BRISTLY CHIN

Dramatic Monologue
Morning coffee, aromatic
meets with slumbering, lumbering me
Drawing towards salvation,
"Cream & Sugar?" asks my Guardian Angel,
"Just a little," me replies - avoiding gluttony,
Which keeps me from salvation.
Once more the ritual,
Rebirth - a new day,
Another choice of sweaters.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all of the time—Lincoln
Truth’s a slow lumbering giant
As his fools remain compliant
Lies bite and scurry
To a clueless jury
Nurtured to be spoiled and defiant

looking always to fight
lives within his forebears
lumbering evil beast

Even a sparrow soars
As its tiny soul
Climbs to great heights
Have you seen it?
Wings flat against the body
Brown bullet
Aerodynamically
Slicing through the air
Covering distances
In a twinkling
That we lumbering humans
Take minutes to travel
Surely it can reach heaven
More easily than we

Prose Poetry
She said it would be her greatest adventure yet
She bore the anguish and suffering meant to get
Her to the dock of her departure
To her place on an unknown beyond shore,
I sat beside her while she quietly suffered without
A word of complaint until she slowly drifted away
With a long lumbering sigh.
Her greatest adventure was to die.

Elegy
The sun forces her face through the dark morning sky.
The trees garner their new autumn garb.
Birds converse on the dry crunchy grass.
Lumbering cows meander behind the fences of barb.
The morning is anew and yesterday is gone.
Hot summer nights give way to a cool dawn.
My troubles are constant yet seem to fade away.
The crisp cool air makes it all OK.

Slamming back from a pedigree
Feather weights accentuate
Dodge and dart, meditate
Throw down the majesty
Standing statue to lumbering birds
Grotesque reflects off the shin bone
Moses parting the red sun
Hauling banquets with captors
Captives sling up the frozen masters
Atomic beats streaking spleens
Intestinal with pesicide, the tics grow dreams
Split to dull gather, sending cinders

Do not peer inside,
The mind,
For my eyes only,
Taken into view,
Dancing around,
Watch it skip the beat,
The noisy rancid beat,
Laden with love and understanding,
Yet still bearing the
Inconceivable possibility,
Sharing its trunk,
Its contents,
The disheveled austerity
Of man,
Deep with righteousness,
Civility,
Divineness,
And thirst to quench
The vanquished,
Lumbering soul.

*lemon tree filled*
*with colorful melody*
*blubbering hearts*
*and lumbering luminosity*
*it’s countenance cheering upward*
*ferocious in it joyful cacophony*
*spreading wide its branches*
*buffet of pluming propensity*
*bullish in its bittersweet*
*its red and yellow sweets*
*swathed resurrection*
*Summer-squeeze of fruity leaves*

Ekphrasis
Under the shed is a groundhog,
Living without my consent.
Once in a while he emerges;
His presence I’ve come to resent.
Likely he’s dug a deep burrow
And most of the time he’s away.
I don’t think that I can evict him;
It seems like he’s planning to stay.
In previous years we’ve had foxes,
With kits that would frolic and romp,
But this year we’re stuck with a groundhog,
Whose lumbering gait’s more a clomp.

I have imagined an encounter
with an Angel
Most likely, it will be
on some opalescent morn
when the lumbering gait of clouds
meets the raphsody of dawn with
ribbons of light
Where I, in some perennial field,
in sadness wait-
With a message aureate,
she will step blithely, and
O the sight of wings will scintillate
to coax from me, a new belief
There is more to life and dreams
than what seems transient.

somehow we discovered that one could ride the lumbering freight train to the next
town if you lay waiting just before the long curve.. where it slowed and the
engineers view was blocked by the old pine forest.. everyone else already aboard..
my fat legs simply won't run fast enough.. I'll wait for them to return with the
afternoon train..
blackberry brambles
tearing at my skin.. I cried
the train whistle blew
