The Flame

There is a flame that warm within you glows
That needs no fuel but constant care;
If attention wanders out of doors
Dies down dim to cinders bare.

Blow it back by gentle breath,
With noble actions poke it high'
Watch it grow in length and breadth
And leap beyond you to the sky.

Premium Member In the Arms of Summer

hot days unlikely
as colored leaves fall pretty
indian summer

though glimpsing the fall
late summer's still at the gate
love songs in the trees

beautiful encore
a rich hued, bloom revival
in surprise sunshine

laughter out of doors
though the green dream is fading
autumn elopement

Premium Member Reclining Rose

Reposed in shadows within a realm of colors dusty rose gown blurs. All the flowers she adores ~ as gold love's beamed out of doors. Green and purple blooms are always in her warm face ~ 'til she sinks in grace. Exquisite pinks golds and blues fade out, as plum night ensues.

Meeting For Lunch

How delightful to sit at a table
Out-of-doors with a friend having lunch,
Catching up on the latest since last time,
Trading stories between every munch.

With a breeze and a sun-block umbrella,
Watching all types of people pass by,
It’s the loveliest way of connecting
And I guess you can understand why.

I Like Walking to the Store

I like walking to the store.
Every day I buy a bit
Of what I need, for home supplies.
Or maybe I just look around.

I like walking back to home.
On the way I might observe
If my neighbors are around,
Or maybe left their TV on.

Sometimes kids play out-of-doors
On the lawn, where their energy
Is safely ignored by all
Except by each other, and their dog.


Chilly Con

Bitter, bitter, bitter
not as in a taste on tongue
or unrequited loves' remain,
only of wind thats wrung
all warmth from the air.

Bitter, bitter, bitter
all the way through to bone,
clenching chattering teeth,
and breath blown
on mittened hands.

Shine of sun to deceive
beckons one out of doors
brain has an idea of sun
that roars
away outside 
caught in bitter's bite.

First Time

With a pretty 
    African - American 
woman
     in a park 
Sex out of Doors! 
   I feel the weight 
of the years upon me now 
But I do have some memories 
Which sustain me 
   when I get rejection letters and 
nobody shows up for tutoring
    Working not far 
from my place on the Lower east Side 
   I relate strongly 
to the peace in the 
    making  
which is coming quite soon
BELIEVE IT

Premium Member Not Yet (Triple Tanka)

squirrels run wild I see
it's been so long coming
as though they're set free
the first faint sense of spring air
sewn in March mistakenly

hear how they chatter
hear how they scold each other
who knows the matter?
could be released energy
that long winter chill set free

so i'll out of doors
i've put winter's coat away
and yet I shiver
such a bright sunny day    i've
thought it spring mistakenly

FALL

Being out of doors
Where lifetimes surround
Where you now inhale
Sense the beauty approaching
That lovely    lonely other

Being out of doors
Where the wind-blown clouds roam free
Squirrels bury nuts
Hardy birds puff their feathers
Where sun has a soothing warmth

You must be outdoors
Summer’s children bid farewell
Color    rustle and dance
Bid you come forth now pilgrim
Join in    prayerfully join in

Premium Member My Muse Is a Fair-Weather Friend

When the temperature soars
   My Muse is cranky and cross
Whether in or out of doors
   Meter and rhyme are quite lost

My head heavy, I'm bored
   Sweat pours off my chin
Hunched over the keyboard
   What a funk I am in

To slumber I yield
   I nod off for a bit
My fate surely sealed
   Poetry, I quit...

Yet switch on the a/c
   And, voile! A new me!
To the delight of my Muse --
   Cool air lights her fuse!

Premium Member Sweet September

Summer's heat and the great 'out-of-doors' will be passing soon,
giving greetings to the beauty of Autumn, starting in September.

The syllables of 'Sep-tem-ber' roll across my lips so soothingly.
Each year, I say to her tenderly, "I only which that you could stay".

But like every Spring in the month of May, September slowly goes away.
Always rejoicing to see her come, I'm never ready for the exit of her calm.

Premium Member Fall Need Not Creep

No need to creep in surreptitiously
    as if you were not longed for
  You turtlenecks and warm wool socks 
    are dashing in or out of doors

  Sensing that I'd tired of green
    your refreshments I adore
  Crisp burnt-orange and fiery red
    leave me thirsty for some more
  
  Though soon you'll trade the dew for frost
    replace iced tea with hot
  Precious Fall: Take center stage deservedly
    ~ for 'creepy' you are not

Under a Blazing Sun

The glowing ball in the heavens 
   sends down its rays
onto the asphalt homeland 
   In gardens, in playgrounds
       Youth are ignited by 
the warmth 
    In a park two young 
people embrace 
   In the shade 
below the trees 
Sweet kisses and caresses 
      make their hearts pound 
Love making out of doors 
    No one sees them 
As the afternoon begins to 
     change to evening 
They part ways with
  longing gazes 
Tomorrow suns another day

Not Wanted

With Waheed they had roughly dealt,
The bitterness still deeply felt.
Enroute did Celts him with stones pelt
And he's like the hit with strong belt
"Let's watch him smile and fail to melt"
He won't for all The South's veldt!"

Black Tourist facing Racist Celt:
Any time out of doors would melt.
Begged he had all Celts and down knelt
But they had his feeling not smelt...

Waheed guessed he'd his feet planted
Where both right and left aren't wanted.

The First Time

The first time 
was with a pretty 
Afro - American woman
out of doors in a park
We were both 16 
and she seduced me (thank goodness)
The others in the park called out 
"He's going to make you into a slave"
didn't intend that
   The summer ended
as did my experiences with sex 
Now I sit in Union Square park
watching a man feed the birds 
I would rather call them rock doves 
   Pigeons on the grass alas
while my mind drifts back to 
THE FIRST TIME

Premium Member Dusky Dancers

Night's falling
Slow dance
And music's drifting out of doors
Under the stars the ocean roars
Whirl dip
Fragrance fest
Mellow moon

Scarlet sunset
Almost gone
And Mars can be seen above
In the season of the dove
Diamond stars
Pearl moon
Summer dance

Warm breeze
birdsong trees
A night of color and song
And the moments move slowly along
Laughter inside
Gay revelers
Dreamy days

Premium Member On Tv In Your House

Lassie's a dog
  Kermit's a frog
Oscar's a grouch

Watch 'em all on the couch

Felix's a cat
  Mickey's a mouse
Donald's a duck

On TV in your house

Rocky's a squirrel
  Bugs is a bunny
Bullwinkle's a moose

The truth ain't so funny

You grew soft on that couch
Watching TV in your house
  And now that your older
  Your tired blood's running colder

So send your kids out of doors
And command 'em to play
  That they don't end up like you
  ~ At the end of their day
