outside the wind blows
stormy clouds across the sky
she plucks the last rose...

plucks a yellow rose
and smiles as she sniffs its scent - -
drops it as bees sting...

one gangly gray strand
weed killer plucks his curt brows
— manicured lawn

his body 
is a tree trunk
flowers growing
out of it

he plucks flowers
every night
and destroys them;
destroys himself...

In the moments of my final hour
I feel the presence of the Lord
Who gently plucks me like a flower...

Your simplest gestures
Tune me like an instrument
Only you can hear
As your voice plucks my heart's strings,
Resonating your feelings...

Time to be that bore who smokes the weed.
Time to be that betch who takes the lead.
Time to be the nurturer somebody needs.
Time to be the one who plucks out the weeds....

Tonight we sing to join an ancient course
Whose umbrage wrought both dove and flaming sword.
Our notes join the song whose age increased its force.
Our song plucks strings of early spoken word....

The scarecrow is stylish
with its yellow umbrella
and new bucket,
but the young man jogging past isn't impressed,
and despite future conversations
with the parish priest,
plucks an ear of corn
to carry home....

Silent Hope


silently...the golden sun rises upon the fevered fields       
crying tears of pain...she plucks a dandelion of a lost love 
and in a breath... she releases a dream upon the morning breeze...

Mother goose silks her feathers,
Oils her charms through crystalline water.
The time of male bird enhances her looks
Heavens found not a perfect match.
Ending mating season, she plucks herself to a nest
Resting her warm eggs until they hatch....

There is a silence that rises with the tide
A heart within that never sleeps
Before the edge of the last shore disappears
The heart reaches out to the end.

Past that.
As far as the eye can’t see
The wind plucks a lonely tune
But the dawn never comes....

With humorous mind
Plucks spunky courage 
To write poop verses
Poems not abridge

To a complete gaffe
Loves stiff cockie pudding
A gentle soft soul
Nutty and charming

Angels of the choir
Is this the sound of heaven?
Such sweet emanations’
Heaven sings out
Each note
Plucks at my heart
Lifts my soul
Then elevates me 
Carrying me away
On a choral wave
Of sweet rapture
Then upon the final note
Of purest clarity
I return to earth...

roadside leaves
are tired of  torture
every vehicle passing
slaps its face hard
a child fond of leaves
brutally plucks some
herd of  goats on transit
pick at some as they run
a dog that passes by
raises leg and makes it wet
roadside leaves suffer
but the world cares not...

Romantic tableau
Plucks the string of Cupid's bow
Season of the heart

Soaring in it's arc
Cupid's arrow finds it's mark
Season of the heart

Two now joined as one
Passions pageant has begun
Season of the heart

The sun pulls off our blankets and closes ghost banquets

It plucks millions of monsters indoors
Out of closets, and from behind doors

It bully’s lights into submission and pokes eyes, blinding vision

Its rays color shadows all day for fun
And makes berries blush, and the fog run...

Lotus Blue's body

Swells impatiently

Her lover making art out of citron trees

Lotus Blue

Sighs

Pay attention to me.....

Her lover listening to caged birds singing

Lotus Blue

Listen to my song

Climb

Up my bowing tree

Her lover glances

Smiles

Plucks a leaf...

O, sweet and beauteous poetess 
Who sits and thinks and writes and plucks 
Spare me nothing, with your caress
O, sweet and beauteous poetess
Please, sip my stress, with wordy lucks
That heart of mine won’t be depressed 
O, sweet and beauteous poetess
Who sits and thinks and writes and plucks...

A black man plucks
a machine gun’s ratatat and a Huey’s blade thwop
“Oh say can you seeeeeeeeeeee….” echoes 
A cursing, sacrilegious rendition…….
“by the dawns early light …………The crowds writhe.
“bombs bursting in air………….
a napalm scream 
into the reality of Jimi’s throng.
“o’er the land of the free………”...

just bought three bananas from the corner bodega for a dollar
to send on his way the sweat of a kitchen the immigrant

ducks from hudson almost canada we know our plucks
and the foie gras a science

why me as mostly do not eat meat to over feed the liver
but a kidney I will enjoy with cream and morels....

A native coffee to start your day 
makes your day like a holiday; 
The wild aroma makes a sting 
that plucks the hymn in your heart like a string. 

And it tastes better without sweet 
for, you can taste the essence of its treat; 
The strong taste keeps your blood alive 
like a stream that fuels your drive.

You've traveled beyond far
found the near perfect place
plucked the gem star from slag
rolled it lovingly in your hand
hung it over the mantle of time
shielded it from the snotty hag-

but all bliss is born to slide away
gray often smears the robin's egg
plucks the merry from the mind
such is the heart of all mankind......

He relentlessly sowed seeds
Everyone laughed at his deeds
Now that place is a forest
Home to exquisite birds and their nest

Everyone plucks the fruits for free
No one in its vicinity goes hungry
Crops flourish, rain abounds
No famines, no floods in surrounds

Air is fresh, all are healthy
For in wisdom one person was wealthy...
