Drink down horns of mead
 These guys could both sail and read
Ships of dragon’s speed...

Tanned furs and leines clothe their hairy backs.
Hoard of mead guzzling men eat turkey legs for snacks….
in skirts and medieval fanny packs....

Summer 



Sabra 
chocolate orange 
Singing taste of tupelo mead 
memories 
still tease and test my thirsty tongue 
I stand in chocolate mint 
Alone...

Poets and Singers
Sweet exclusion
Knows bounds
Sadly servant
to the whims
Drinking Mead
to the seasons mirth
Transmute themselves
to the citizens of dawns voice...

As I walk the countryside seems grey,
The stars revolting in their arrogance,
And I cannot find hope or inspiration,
In even the tiniest flower,
Without a drop of mead....

allow me to introduce to you
a dear friend
may I present The Green Man
we once shared a goblet of mead
inside the head of a nobleman
sometime in the early
thirteenth century

Tis' a rainy day outside indeed, Time enough for some whey and mead. The wind bashes and the rain bashes. Coldness and sick fill the air with the smell of a bear. Tis rainy outside for sure....

With brothers and sisters family and friends I will enjoy my mead
No matter what the day brings my mind will always be freed
Stress and worry I have no need
Into the night I'll ride away on my iron steed...

Crushed beneath the skin of Brigit, hollowed out,

Stuffed full of mead & words;

 

I drift here

 

Losing touch, losing form

 

Wishing there was one,

just one who never hated me.

Planning a cookout with high school friends.
Who’s bringing what? The fun never ends.
The boys haven’t changed; they all fail to read,
So all bring some chips and six-packs of mead!

Yea I'm a halfbreed
Approval I don't need
I can plant a seed
From that I will feed
No need for greed
Need not plead
Might burn that weed
Chase it with mead
Seems like my deed
Follow? No! I'll lead
Don't impede
You will concede

soon
close
almost

a month
her cycle
repeats itself

not in birth
but rebirth
wax and wane

the full moon
takes out
a red tide

June is 
the strawberry moon
and the honey moon

Salute
drink mead
for honey sweet

and red
wine for
the blood...

My name is Archie Templeton-Mead
I'm vice president of corporate greed,
gold, bonds and diamonds, are (in the main)
what I need, so please write a letter, you 
couldn't do better than plant your small seed, 
(avaricious indeed!)

When you kissed me love 
pure the heaven's above smiled 
melting the warmest dream dew 

From crystal oceans 
buried salt upon footprints 
underneath into sand held 

A thousand shades gold 
diamond light shades rainbows 
illumination one host  
stands beaming through the stars mead...

Oh lush flora, I watch its  parade
    
       Sashaying through woodland mead and glade;

  How new blooms quaver…adorned with grace

That every trail rules this courtly place.

The mead warmed the belly

The songs eased the mind

The frown lines disappeared 

The friends lost in battle!

Earned a salute to be cheered

Boots with soles worn thin

Cuts left to heal in the wind

To now sharpen the blade on wet flint

To make ready to fight for the new fu#king King!...

There once was a lion Tamer named Mead
He taught his lions to cook and to read.
Taught them to bake
Broil their steak
And grow vegetable garden from seed

One took him to court on a Tuesday
Because he forgot to teach him to pray
So he sold them
To old guy named Jim
Now raising ignorant donkeys that bray...

In our times, Shakespeare is finding it hard,
His poised quill and nerves constantly on guard,
The Alehouses serve no mead,*
He can't drive a metal steed,
But, Starbucks Mocha doth maketh the Bard

Lust is like the salt of the sea. 
The artificial Ambrosia or Siren's fomented Mead.
Augmenting thirst, the more you drink. 
Forgetting the drink came first. Then came a thirst.
To be unshackled to idols in idle mutiny.
Before the fermentation of idolatry. Figureheads, 
flotsam and shipwrecks on the seven stormy seas....

The clearness and the song of stream is gone
When merges in the river
With a load of churned earth

Look at the rivers how they run like life
Through wood and mead, shade and sun, 
Sometimes swift, sometimes slow,

Mat the Cat had a hat 
Mat the Cat, he was so fat 
He could not fit the hat on his head 
So he gave it away instead 

Mat the Cat had a habit 
He likes to hear the frogs ribbit 
He went to catch one on the mead 
But the frog jumped over his head

vegetation turf
I am just a blade of grass
cut me i will grow

greenery, green lawn
narrow leaves, growing wild sod
cultivated mead

grasslands blades of grass
lawns pasture, as a fodder crop.
field, pasture, meadow

sward, lea growing spring
grassland veld literary

Beyond the measure and mead
of circadian rhythm and habitual rhyme
beyond the frequencies and amplitudes
of perambulating waves and recalcitrant lines
Beyond the clamor and din of nutmeg and time
cleavers and butchers and earthmen who climb
Atop the weathered brow of
life's grand conflagration
an old man disembarked at the final destination...
