A veil of promise hides her blushing face
As she recites vows of loving promise
A candle of unity flickers upon a bouquet of flowers
As one rose is placed at the threshold of eternity...

There was an old lady from Madrid,
Who often at night recites the creed,
She anticipates nightfall,
The moonlight on the rear wall,
Opened a wormhole for a strange breed.

Grass is always greener at yonder site,
Yet the jealous pangs gain might!
Bowl full of spite,Burns insides!
Septic reaches heart, mind loses insight,
Mouth turns foul, starts the disparage recites!

A mandolin
                                                            wind…

Recites the hems of my dress.

His floral notes. Undisciplined. 

I, the meadow pipit,

who likes,

her apple cider, pressed.

Fear feels fake
My mistake


Mind mulls more
Sift sound spore


Taste taut tale
Sense sure sale


Weave word writes
Rush recites


Live lush learn
End eats earn


Blush brown bloat
My mind moat

So first principles
this could be formal axing mums
Theo recites while posting your lates
basic props in position
General prince pulls and has a special status
Roll to play
The ory in in bed
no impure thoughts of ass or umptions
and none will con the ventions...

The Lord's canvas depicts the entire Cosmic order 
That 
Stretches infinitely in space and time


While 


His poetry recites the spiritual connection 
Between 
Him and every single part of His creation !

Beneath Cherry Blossoms

Beneath  Cherry Blossoms 
An ancient book of Kitsune lies by her side
She recites words of wisdom
Sipping  pink petals  of life 

Falling all around
A book of knowledge  filled with love
Touches the heart  of a gentle spirit
As she sings a song of love...

I awoken with a song on my heart
As my mind recites, Jesus 
In my pointing vision I'm receiving
Views dreams in part
I'm totally found not lost
Awakening in the arms of Our Father 
Listening to the bird's recitals
I join in we All praise God

The way ahead
Lies beyond dread


Listen and heed
The hungry needs


Discern and know
That grace must show


Life story said
Rest unfair aid


Fling happy chance
Die in mere glance


Notes I re-write
As jest recites


Zest works the best
Fest follows quest

water rejoices

gurgles splashes meanders –

freedom at its source


parched soil drinks essence

smacks lips soaks up swells fortune – 

intimate delight


drought drowns in rock pools

recites sun baked final wish –

happy with fusion

In college, my sorority
Required us to learn
The alphabet in Greek,
Which we recited in our turn.

Since then, I’ve used it rarely – 
In a crossword clue, perhaps – 
As my brain recites those letters
That my memory unwraps.

Lately, though, with Covid’s Delta
And now Omicron’s new streak,
There’ve been many more occasions
To recall my long-lost Greek....

Dread wears worry
In unsure sight,
Fear cuts harshly
To shut the light.


Dread wears a face
Of sullen poise,
Fear fills dead space
With empty noise.


Dread wears crazy
In vivid form,
Fear spins story
In vicious norms.


Dread wears dreary
As pain recites,
Fear seeds weary
That draining bite.

I turn on the television
the newsreader in hectoring tones
recites
        his sorry litany;

Emergency
Catastrophe 
Disaster
Death

so I turn the television off;
notice how loud 
the birdsong is this evening 

and search for 
other words;

Generosity
Gratitude 
Tenderness
Love 

Spring bathes in gold tonight
-and by such light
hope slowly grows...

A Parisian smile
Awakens and touches me
After years of being away;
Cobble-stoned street
Of silky chestnuts
Echoes the steps
Of shadowy lovers who
Embrace and whisper shared sighs.
Music spills out
Of neighborhood bistros
As an aged dilettante
Recites his poetry
While pouring the house wine
For nodding audience
In state of ennui
While sitting in the sidewalk cafe....
