Short Pivots Poems

fescue undulates across the pasture
a big yard sale sign pivots
back and forth; greetings, spend!!...

A petal falls down on the ground

brushing her eyes like a white bouquet---

and she pivots along a bay

till night's lashes ebb, curling  around.

Distort of sounds strum his bow —sawed heart rhythms,
mischievous fool impels my mind's rapt boredom.
The devil's finger warns and pivots, sedates,
adrift among alleged stolen dreamscapes.
The jester sleeps all day, perplexed I awake....

Pasty delicacy
demands protection
since succulent
taunts beasts
roaming wilderness
gripped by hunger

until revelation
pivots the victim
aggressive arguing
defensive while
harnessing feral
hungers unwieldy

with megatons
securing leverage
against savage
hidden wandering
enemies disguised
behind amity....

The wind
has blown hard all day
and pivots torn leaves
around wounded trees.
It possesses no pity
but follows a mindless
command to play out
its might.

The world is so.
Regardless
it goes its way
and blinds with both
beauty and disease,
pauses a living breath 
to marvel at creation
or stops it dead
by an accident. 

Faced 
with such vagaries,
with suffering,
with no answers,
what is there to do
but care.

grizzly grazing a meadow
pretending not to notice the dancer
wind shifting-it stands horribly- tall
sniffs the air
pivots nonchalantly
methodically swaggers
appetite enhanced
moment ignited
by the ancient guide 
it charges-bloody eyed
stomping the meadow blossoms
it swats at the dancer
again -again and again
as she flits toward the cliff
brute tumbling over 
to its cold slag death
ballerina dancing
over the screaming crag...

Reverse Polarity

Linage totally broaden,
Spun before the darkness;
Nothing be closed bantered-black,
Horizontal dismissed toggle;
Lists topsy-turvy tracks,
Vertical crevices

Lever rests supported pivots,
Supported cryptic; 
Representation essential role,
Bi-polar toll;
Black darkeness reverse polarity;
Now of this is clear to me?

I am three legged,
I am balanced,
It’s a mystery,
I sit in a dim-lit room.

I bear the sage's books,
Where he scripts his thoughts,
The monsters that stare through his window,
The gloom that pervades the meadow.

I am three legged,
The unseen pivots me,
The unknown trestles me,
I'm in a library of the deep.

I am a door into the day,
Prop and support along the way,
The sage takes off on my plane,
Nightfall embraces me.

~ Sunday morn breaks ~

Sunday morn breaks cool and crisp
   In my son's step there is a new zip
Although the sun takes its time
   To burst through oak, maple and pine

As he strides toward the woods
   The road's bursting with goods
Lilacs, violets and sunflowers
   With Nature's beneficence showered

He pauses to stretch, to sigh, to inhale
   Fragrance's freshness filling lungs' sails
Abruptly pivots ~ jumping for joy
   How lucky to be a young boy...

Listen to poem:

*Image of Stone's Throw Away.

Sunken Stone's

A flat stone spent airborne,
Skips a pool midst once known friends alludes in a dream,
Prompts firstborn.

Flaunts a symbol,
Pivots your years amongst youths scheme,
Nimble.

Paves queue,
Begs, alight theme,
True.

A flat stone spent airborne,
Pivots your years amongst youths scheme,
True.
