Premium Member Gentle Rains

Venomous snakes, hard rains savage
   Mercury, Venus and Mars
hissing like boas and rattlers
   plunging into rocky reservoirs

On Earth, gentle rains dance lightly
   atop welcoming green lawns
Perfuming Spring's warm, soft air
   refreshing the world at dawn

Premium Member Rattlers and Shooting Stars

I don't chirp very much... anymore.
I prefer to showcase this journey in stanzas.
Those open-ended cages 
that shooting stars and rattlers 
occasionally escape from.

I choose not to be around the "them."
the earth stream is cascading with "them"
the users 
the flamethrowers of hurt and abuse
the spoilers of the soul
Polluters of good dreams.

I prefer to nest in a maelstrom of verse,
and songs that bleed out into shadows.

SNAKES IN RURAL PENNSYLVANIA

The snakes in his head 
were timber rattlers, easily
agitated, disinclined to fight,
their rattling a warning to all
before slipping away silently from 
conflict or harm
Unfortunately for the fortunate son
his bride to be was a young copperhead,
golden brown and beautiful on the
dark forest floor among the stones and
wet soil of a Blue Mountain summer, 
and unlike the rattler she was silent
and aggressive, looking for a fight!
