Short Petrels Poems

where
  the egrets
           perch
where
   the petrels 
         nest
the 
    kestrels 
       screech
wrens
peep
above 
      the creek
which
wends
    then ends
where
 the speckled
         perch teem
and
dew
  bedews
    the ferns

Dozing petrels with soft plumage 
drunken with sage,
don't bite on bark   
when voices don't hark!

greeting a swain
with eyes so sad...
you made him glad!


Dozing petrels, don't fear wolves' cries... 
dancing fireflies  
will bring moonlight
with some starlight!...

Scarlet sage' path...
feet rambling about the hill
of a quite woodland
with Carolina willows
and southern magnolias.


Lanky short-leaf pines
shade the milk-pea verdant shrubs;
petrels watch the swift,
mottled squirrels climb black oaks
while a cavalcade stirs them.


Hyacinths in bloom
have a stronger, sweeter scent 
than the white jasmines...
is fragrance a flower's gift
to all lovers strolling by?...

May your only wish be...
rosy sunsets with chimes
that welcome the smiles
of those seeking serenity! 


May your day never end,
and if it does: be gratefully glad;
look above...there's nothing but Heaven,
as those orange and red colors blend again! 


The parting petrels have swift wings,
and emitting their last shrill: they let Nature repose;
oh, just one wish can bring new dreams...
as the harmonious song of the robins seems to pause!...
