With a rhythmic spell,
Quasimodo sounds his bell
In his tortured hell,
Esmeralda hears him yell
From his hunchback prison cell.

With flip-flap wings
in rhythmic rowing,
two sunset-magpies
flew straight through
a sky of pumpkin soup,
as I drove home to you.

The dance of dances

The dance of dances as he swung:
his twitching legs a rhythmic fight,
as choking, gasping, praying hard,
he danced  into eternal night.

I list the subjects I have to pick
Find one I like

Rain drops
In puddle, pool, and pond.
When well spaced out
The drops can play
A pleasant rhythmic tune.

she moves slower but not her smile
her heart speaks in rhythmic sage
her umbrella is her hands of praise

RAIN

River dancers on the shingles
Attenuating rhythmic shifts
Icy shivery down neck tingles
Nuances of seasoned riffs

Singing softly,
Someone stretched love's rhythmic, 
Unrestrained, undulating laughter,
Returning disappearing doeskin dreams
To the stormy sea.

wisp light ripples through
spring honey on alder field
down forest earth trail
cool rhythmic river flows, veers
stretch tight amid space and time
