Short Regimented Poems

Loud noise overhead
regimented formation...
geese flying squadron...

Playful pony promenade
Quietly quizzing querulous quail
Respite regulated regimented rabbits
Studiously steering sterling striped starlings
Tricking trinkets, trunks and tributaries
Undervalued, underdeveloped, and underdone...

Stillness as potentiality poised in silence
Or action kinetic in desireless nonchalance 

In meditation do we dwell in emptiness 
Or celebrate bliss throb rapture in fullness 

Do we calibrate experience by memory imagery
Or are we unfettered and spontaneous in our entrée 

Is our practice a discipline regulated & regimented
Or are we flowing in childlike trusting surrender joy elated

Bottles 
Regimented in rows
You stand
Shoulder to shoulder
Front to back
Fully loaded
Ready to explode
At a moments notice
A female
In the ranks
With slender neck
Stylish and sophisticated
She stands sparkling
Ample form 
Curvaceous
Womanly wide hips
Elegantly upright
Sexily suave and supreme
Her bubbly presence 
Stands out in a crowd
The perfect partner
Together folk clink
As flutes play tribute
Celebrating special occasion...

The eleventh month, November, the month that takes a breath,
As it's waiting. Waiting for a fickle sun to decide.
Though sun's decision ever is to skim the sky with stealth,
As if a painter's hand the vibrant stars of night has 'plied.

The short days of muted light unwrap autumn's cold beauty,
While thick blankets on a bed ensure an even slumber.
This month of regimented hours calls us to our duty---
The great preparation for December's Holy number...

MY LIFE

My life is regimented by the constant unnerving beat

Of the angel on my back.

She is my constant companion.

Her neck, intertwined with mine.

If she falters

I will die

We are intimately attached.

However, far from in love

It is indeed a love hate relationship

I listen to her every breath.

While she totally ignores me

I try every move to remove her

But like a limpet for life

She claws desperately on to my soul!...

Swaying in the breeze
All regimented tufty haired straight
Planted securely a foothold in time
Stretching to heaven
Sun sky sublime
Stretch grow and wait
For the end
Tips ripely flaxen haired
Plump
For the end comes to all

Shreds of dust
Shatters the company
Limbs severed and broken
Agony unspoken
Yet life prevails
In death’s yellow pails
Giving up all
For mathematics
One becomes many
Many multiplies
As death becomes seed
And time flies...
