Sea Anemones Invaded the Cedars

In the spring rain,
the cedars bear alien fruit:
gelatinous growth
like orange sea anemones,
slimy creatures whose
slippery tendrils quiver
sporeful 
revolting and fascinating
life
fills all niches

Mountain Fawns

Mountain Fawns

Above blazing celestial dawns
Elegant fawns gait happily.
Inventing joys keenly lived.
Meeting nature, offers prayers…
Mountain niches share God's abode.

Freedom

Free will
 an
illusion.
Free, limited 
only.
Programmed 
to a path,
course of
actions
predetermined!
Endless choices,
genetically 
constrained.
Aggressive 
by nature,
or timid be.
Anything
in between. 
Choices constrained 
by nature.
Niches filled,
genetically so.
Preprogrammed, 
following 
the
genetic path
to
free will.

Strides and Niches

Strides and Niches

Heaven up above,
Shows that there is love.
Sending down sunlight.
Giving day and night.
Niches grow, below.

To hide new birth 
Born upon earth
Protecting life
Go, endless strife.

Sometimes dearth.
Can hope girth.
Unearth mirth.

Strengthen.
Lengthen.

Strides.

Night-Day

dark and lethal night
listening to the lone hoot owl—
one more dead raccoon 

bright and lively day
greeting the morning songbirds—
noisy children 

stunning night and day 
supplying niches for life—
our mother planet

Premium Member A Deep Crypt

In a deep crypt With moss covered walls All damp and musty Candles cover all the niches And dark shadows cast There’s a light Coming from a crystal ball In center of the room Showing twisted faces That can be used for evil The witch controls them Through the channels of the ball She takes over her devious ways And brings pain To innocent people All for fun

Premium Member Brother (Halloween No. 10)

Brother, too big for his britches,
Said he wasn’t scared of witches.
Ghosts and goblins brought no fear.
Even dared them to come near.

The morning after Halloween,
He was nowhere to be seen.
And Mama couldn’t find her broom
We looked for it in every room.

We searched all the roads and ditches.
We even looked in little niches.
I shouldn’t laugh ‘til I’m in stitches.
At brother carried off by witches.

Premium Member In a Lighter Vein

My brother, too big for his britches,
Said he wasn't scared of witches;
Of ghosts and goblins had no fear
And dared a demon to come near.

The morning after Halloween,
He was just nowhere to be seen.
We looked for him in woods and ditches,
In cubbyholes and hidden niches.

My mama couldn't find her broom.
We looked for it in every room.
I shouldn't laugh 'til I'm in stitches
At Brother carried off by witches.

Nimue

So quietly she trips across the floor,
dragging random flotsam and jetsam
she finds in niches the vacuum can't reach.
With evil intent, she crouches at my feet.
Then BONK! I've been kitten-bombed.
She exults in my reaction
of flying drink and floor-bound french fries.
Then she creeps away again
waiting for her next opportunity
to turn on airplane mode,
shut down the computer without saving
my changes,
and scare me half to death.

Premium Member Neurotic Niches

Buried beneath all that's grey matters,
Convoluted in the circuitry ...
Lie the tiniest, little tidbits of
Distinction, to drive us to mystery.

They seem to protrude upon our psyche,
Like a reddened thumb, stuck to a hand.
While frolicking along the subconscious,
Looking to interrupt what is planned.

As pets go, these 'peeves' outlast,
Most other thoughts that come in play.
With an enduring quality beyond a
Visit ... with a preference to stay.

Empty

You pass by me like a faint cologne -
the scent barely grazing my senses.
I am as empty as a widow's soul.
Your ghostly caresses die like
a distant reflection.

You are an owl beating
your broken wings
into corner niches
that do not encumber my soul.
Feathers slowly drift to the ground like
Autumn leaves almost hovering
in mid-air.

You steal light from the white-hooded moon
as your vacuous demeanor dissolves
into nothingness in the thin air
of a peach-colored sky.
