Brown lace patterned limbs reach
     to lie against a blue sky.
Uplifted branches with
     little tufts of yellow-green,
New green for spring,
     new buds to bring
Hope of another tomorrow....

My hunger is too great today
Than it has ever been

We’ve been a thousand miles in piles of
Diet coke and cranberry patches

Streaming ear to ear like a seam,
Seemingly patterned yet not all alike or repeating...

tone
rhyme
and length
      of line,
interwoven
        in
           patterned
                harmony:
repetition 
            of stress,
a vague
           separation
of
    thought
from
    emotion...

Once,summer green
Then,autumn gold
Bedecked the ancient tree-
Now,in silhouette,laid bare
Mistletoed in winter frieze;
Flurries of snow,fine & dry
On its branches lie
White stars,scurry and shift
In piles of patterned drifts....

Convoluted patches
    freely patterned and set,
Stretching from a wide horizon
To a cover of cloud fleece.
Bared ridge tops
    defining crests
And trails of many feet
Turn and twist on hills a plenty,
Then in the valley meet....

The porch is waiting
dare you go?
with chairs so comfy cozy…

The porch is waiting 
don’t you know?
with checker boards and pages….

Patterned puzzles
gory books
needle point and bikes

The porch is waiting
can you go?
Or must you stay inside?...

Melting down into 
kindly patterned brick
shifted from a grandfather hand, slow.
A stone stands expressionless.
Which makes him look more human.
3 others like him perch
atop one
less like him
and anything green or living
seems to wither thither presence....

Melting down onto kindly patterned brick 
Shifted from a grandfather hand slow.
A stone stands expressionless
Which makes him look more human
Three others unlike him perch atop one
Less like him
And anything green or living

SEVEN  CANDLES

Balloon  hysteria,
Paper hat pandemonium,
Blur of arms  and legs,
Dance music deafens.
Seven candles in one big blow  - 
Almost impossible.
Carefully wrapped presents stripped fast  -
Ankle deep in patterned paper.
Same next time;
Except eight candles....

Heart mended
beneficial Trust
blossom forecast
fairyland disguise 
family man confused
in plaid t's vapor 
patterned flavors
If it ain't the rest
It ain't the best
I digress
I'm a total mess
congested chest
fill me up
with your
Drug

Orangy red horizon
Below earths blackened ceiling
City lights sporadic
Patterned like a starry sky
 
Distant lightning illuminates
Like dancing strobes
Momentary live
The black returns
 
Natures setting
Disappears with time
Captured
Tsunami Sunset

I want to catch your instincts
running around the wilderness
and stopped at the flow
of the grooves
patterned with nightmare
deviated from the sky's stairs 
formed with carved word 
of the city 
in the depths
of the miserable souls.

SHADES OF WINTER

Once,summer green
Then,autumn gold
Bedecked the ancient tree-
Now,in silhouette,laid bare
Mistletoed in winter frieze;
Flurries of snow,fine & dry
On its branches lie
White stars,scurry and shift
In piles of patterned drifts....

Divine Mother moves
across patterned grooves,
vivifying form
by magnetism warm.

Hitherto inert
nodes begin to spurt,
dancing in rhythm,
within body prism.

Becoming twice born,
soul presence looks on,
as heightens delight
in this wingless flight.

Pinnacle predator
Prominently patterned
Primarily pod-based
Prefers porpoise portions
Pretty photogenic
Partially protected
Parasite-prone problems
