Short Pylons Poems

Muted pylons
with frayed collars
Rusted like Copper
with past Trips to Goa
This and that marvellous memories
on Olympus OM2 SLRS
Mighty escapes
from youthful dalliances
Aged without permission
Now old acorns
educating new students...

The Island of Alcatraz

Startled clouds lurk midst a gate
beams stretch crossed a bay
pylons yon the sneaky fog
dreams fetch castaway.
Deserted prison
vagary hopes long entombed
averted risen.

Bridges and rivers always prevail
overcoat and undercover
Walking barefooted with Moses
A summoning whirl of gust
Going around my head
The pylons are humming
they've reached their limit
Songs sang sanquently
Time knows no limit
Fire upon Fire
Ash amongst toil
The guise is over
until eternity...

Gigantic pylons of wind-carved granite
Form astonishing pillars of natural wonder
Sculptures to rival Borglum's finest faces
Perilously perched along the winding trail
Punctuating the Black Hills with awesome
Commas of towering mystical totems
Where once the proud Native Americans
Roamed with the buffalo in blessed peace

turbines&apartments
                           awake
diggers&cranes release
                      their brakes
roads alive
           with commuter cars
bridges teem 
           with pedestrians
umbrellas uplift
                in passing showers
pylons pulsate
                 their powers
corn flakes crackle,toast browns
                            eggs hard-boil
work prepares
                    a day full of toil...
