Confusion abounds

       rain commingles with sunshine,

            winter greets the spring...

A bird cascades during every Fall gambling
hopeful idle journeys knowing long migrations
navigating over peacefully quiet reddened sunsets 
towering under very windy xanadu
yawning zest.....

It once sang in Berkeley Square,
So the song goes,
An ode to it written by Keats not in prose,
The lady who had a lamp,
Had its name too,
A fairy tale Anderson told a tale through.
They just sing at night and it’s only the male,
Too woo all the females, Hope migrations fail,
They've created hospitals with this birds name,
So glad to my garden a nightingale came!...

Lost Ladybugs

Dear little ladybugs I have missed you 
Your harmless orange and ebony
Among my flower pots.
Where did you go, was it something I said?
Spring may be soon, but without you
I am less.

Did you burough as diminishing doodle bugs;
Is global warming frightening you,
Is it directing new migrations where
I can no longer plant for you.
Where are you precious ladybugs, come back,
For without you, I am less....

The storm spiraled closer.
Hysteria blooms.
Water, wind, waves, when, where 
the news  -
a kaleidoscope
of uncertainties,
driving 
chaotic migrations.

Perched at ocean’s edge,
in perpetual peril,
we are awaiting
the cacophony
of destruction.
In the face of the apocalypse,
promises
ring hollow.
