a late blooming few
rose leaves with mottled silver
autumnal whimsy...

trees twist and swaying



mottled watercolours sing



raindrops tap dancing

Shrivelled day,
Mottled charred desires,
Still pursuits,
Dying hope,
Shadowed duty engagement,
We fall and rise still....

If you see a spotted cheetah
don't touch it or you'll get
quite dotted;
if you see a mottled hyena;
don't make it laugh
or you'll get spotted...

silver falls
        rainbows splash my face
awakening me
      to a mottled brown snail
sliding along the wet rail 
leaving tiny silvery  paths...

Smiling, I cross the facade.
Mottled, the evening violets
wane -- into a subtle fusion
of smoothly muted grays.
A thin sheen of water lies
fallow Upon stone cobbles.

President Trump, also known as the Donald
Has been in the news, since McDonald’s Ronald
He refused his salary
While still working hourly
He has business sense, though his skin is mottled...

Houseplants reproach me,
and show drooping stems
and mottled leaves.
Death cannot be tolerated
Even at this level.
But then again, 
I'm far too lazy to do anything about it.
Conundrum....

summer sun - 

under the vine trellis

mottled shadows

One sunny day little Mary Miller
Picked up a mottled green caterpillar,
Which became a monster moth. 
One fine morn her dad grew wroth:
Her moth laid eggs in his denture filler.

Mottled Earthen tints:
leaves of a deep dark ruby, 
light lavender,

golden hickory.
Uplifted skeleton faces, 
buried together, 

onyx hues on the bones-
the waxing of Winter moons.
War in the distance.

is better....

I wear a beard of aging, upon a cliff-face chin
A year has passed and grown its hairs out from my mottled skin
Mistakes sit there unchallenged, to each fibre clings a sin
Yet despite my facial mask of age the clubs won’t let me in...

Beggar

I'm a Beggar with a bowl
as empty as my soul
I'm a Beggar on the street
all over fleeing feet.

I'm a Beggar who is blind
as blind as their mind-
Snob mottled their brain
as moth to the grain.

Oh Meaty Peaks!
Oh meaty peaks adorn-ed on her lips,
Why do you cheeky mountains there exist?
You spoil the smooth mottled flip-flops,
Of canines' drooping moistened chops...
Oh spikes of flesh, you've piqued my interest!...

Mottled grey knitted top
Little pink mini-skirt
Kick off your heels
We kick it off

Warm breath on my chest
My arm is dead
Kiss on your hair
I kiss it on

Fluttered lash and morning smile
Kiss off and kick on
Into the mottled grey day...

Mottled black and white rooster stood proud on his sled
Can he do handstands and back flips? Asked his cousin Ned.
He could but he won’t, his sister, a rule stickler said.
The rooster listened to all of these expectations with dread....

Four Lines About Hair
By: Miracle Man

She needed no spotlight when hair was red,
that was before blond became un-bottled.
She preferred that contrasting color instead,
Fifty years as a blonde has left hair mottled....

Colossal raced the churning waves

Neighing loudly, tossed mane

dripping

Enticing Desire to frolic

Their matched white coats mottled

Sea sprayed

The things we do not become
lay like ancient eggs inside
us, brittle, mottled, so fragile
to our words.    If only
some one thing had been different,
some warmth had developed
and they had bloomed, to riot
that still air
                          and live!...

the war was well 

on its way
mottled and coddled
 battled  and  bottled
before the

            front was modeled
      the frontline was hobbled
the forefront was cobbled

dark hearts be doubled
light hearts be troubled

the war is well
on its way...

RUMINATIONS
sentiment
   glimmer
in
primitive
  gatherings
approach
  then
turn
desert
&continue
to decay
&rot

soon forgotten
reposing
in
a breadth
of fine mesh
piled high
with
translucent
half-visions
beyond
the quaint
mottled
 machinations...

Sunlight flitting through the trees
A laughing sprite on gentle breeze
The filtered dust on mottled leaves
A vision that nobody sees.

A dancing raindrop splashes down
The shafts of sunlight slowly drown
The dust a tiny river flows
The trees majestic in repose....
