The World In a Marsh

God,you told me;the world will go straight to marsh,and you can not do any thing;so,when i can't do any thing why do you want me to hold on toiling.


Marsh

Cattails, sedges, papyrus,  sawgrass
Fish waterfowl soundless salamanders
In soft wet interface of water and earth
      Reclines the orbit of Marsh

Melancholy

Melancholy is a dreary morning;
hidden within our souls
like mist spread over the marsh—
upon the stagnant waters
and the treetops
that refuse to drown.

Wind kisses marsh trees
Cattail fairies dance on winds
Fly to find new home.

Sun Rising Over a Field of Marsh Marigolds-Picture 2

Waking up, I was blinded by the radiant, yellow sun rays;
I witnessed with awe a splendid sunrise
rising over a field of marsh marigolds... 
more astonished than a true believer, I praised Him twice!

A Sacred Marsh

Here, the infant Day
In a misty hush
Lies, as swaddled.
Moses, among the reeds!
And the Nile's weeds.

No wind dares blow up.
Stirs, lapwing, leaf.
As duck, paddled.
Daughter of Eygpt's throne
Come claim your own!

Harsh Walk Through Marsh

Harsh Walk Through Marsh

While I was walking through a marsh,
End of poem I read  had been harsh;
Was hesitating;
Poem devastating;
Cried on hankerchief that had starch.

Trump wants to drain swamp and 
marsh as well.

Into the Marsh

A dusty quiver lay on my back
Its arrows clean and sharp

I wade with purpose through itchy reeds
My boots dragging in the muck

I hear you before I see you
Your laugh collapsing the virgin marsh between us

A fistful of whites and yellows
My dear whites and yellows

Ready, steady
It’s no use!

For if I lose an arrow
My quiver will lighten 
And my shoulders will slouch

Premium Member When All's Well In Meadow and Marsh

When the sky is piercing blue
  and the ocean's the same color too
When the humidity's gone from the air
  and the temperature's not 'way up there'

When sun's rays are welcome, not harsh
  and all's well in meadow and marsh
When there are apples on the tree to munch
  and the forest is cool to the touch

It's then that Mother Nature brings light rain
  So when it stops, it can be perfect again

Marsh Mellows and Butterfly Dreams

Sweet and sensual
 coconut melts along the top
 staggered familiar sizes and shapes 
 droolings on the tongue, ambrosia
running through the fields like fidgety children
 restless and free on tenterhooks
 flitting like butterflies on the hunt
 flower nectar candied on the bloom
drawn into the dream
 of marshmallowed confectionaries
 sweet sugared goodies 
 nectar for the gods 
and simple butterflies.

Pussy Willows

Among the wild cattails marsh,
Wetlands mire and morass harsh,
Pussy Willow buds appear
In warm grey fur chase off winter’s jeers.

Close to streams they sink deep roots
Laps up milk of streamlet’s fruits
Vernal purr of perfection
Sacred siren of Resurrection.
