To hear each drop, a musical note
Fluctuating lines...

beat of its own; strong
love being the power of its vitality

Imagine that trees sway in a rhythmical way
  that folks sing and dance through their day

That happiness reigns everywhere that you look
  O, joy! Back to work ~ Close the book...

In time good will return, 
Predicted and rhythmical, 
So that you will go up, 
And be arithmetical,  
To prove there’s free rides,
Some astronomical, 
And that they’re for players, 
Who are relational....

Rhyme is a crime,
A misdemeanor or more.
And cadence is worse—a rhythmical verse
Is a felony critics abhor.

“Love” gets a shove
In the ash-can where Beauty “belongs”.
Psychosis is “in”—optimism’s a sin:
Down the toilet with heart wringing songs!...

Summer's breeze ruffles my hair
while pale moonlight glows
and waves kiss the sandy shore
as the calm tide flows.
A Whippoorwill fills
the night with rhythmical songs
in sweet throaty trills.

Poetry is musical
rhythmical and lyrical.
Words, words, words, want to be free
come out like a simile.

Poetry is wonderful
colorful and beautiful.
Curse words used when one is sore
don’t make for good metaphor.

Slow rhythmical shudder,
Forest Rain and thunder,

See the magic unfold,
majesty to behold,

Ruby green, spots of blue,
Feathers of divine hue,

A wild peacocks rain dance,
A glimpse of wild romance!

Kites dancing on an ocean breeze,
fingers tugging at the strings,
navigating the heavens, 
as we race across the sand.
A symphony of sound fills the air,
a rhythmical greeting of the sea,
upon the shore.
Unfurling skyward, 
a celebration of colors,
the sunsets brilliance,
reflecting nature's exquisite pagent.
We witness the universe's kiss goodnight....

Like a meter I count the lyrics-
That journey about my heart.
From battles they all converge
For truce they settle minds with ease

The strings! Rhythmical in nature-
Are caressed but pressured by sticks.
The wind! From the east you sing
To the west my heart dance

Loving the rhyme as trees swish
Quick my mind follows the song
That fashions the treaty of love
To sing, end of my baffling thoughts...

Deep breath 
And push
Face, stretch out, glide,
Noise diminished, 
smooth as silk taking in the first.
Meditation moving forward.
Ever forward. 
Pushing downhill.
Survival in the chill. 
Survival in chill.
Enumeration in perfect timing.
No chore to attend, 
no chores to attend to.
My survival in the chill. 
My off switch.
Breathe, pull, pull, pull, breathe.
Silent, rhythmical, turn and push....

A life long choice, to spend wasted time~
Was your search for silence 
~and~
tranquility of the mind.

A matter of delusion~
That Such thing exists to find~
Believed only by those, who are subconsciously inclined.

How can a world, which posseses symbolic seas
 - and -
Crashing waves, symphonic with chime 

Continue with rotation, without it's voice of rhythmical reason 
-and-
Universal rhyme

This August day the air is still, humid, and stale.  The Sunlight's  hot golden rays pour slowly down through the umbrella of tangle leaves.

Its rays rests upon the spears of grass, nude ground and roots. I hear the building rattle thrum of the cicadas in the tree. Laughter of my grandson, as I rhythmical swing him back and forth, and spin him, on his spider web tree-swing that hangs from a large limb.

Flanked by violets and similes
   in a drafty den she pens
away fleet hours, pensive, concocting
   exotic brews of rarest essence

and scents, honey-tipped phrases
   in secret rhythmical chants  
known only to denizens of her
   innermost sanctum, where she,

perches, chin in hand, arranging
   delicate strands of sound, eliciting
murmurs from those gathered, who lionize her
   though she remains as the dust underfoot...

Opening eyes to a newly born day
There is something amiss in the air
Pushing through that morning routine
Off on a wing and a prayer

Closing the door you notice your watch
In spinning time awfully fast
Holding deep the scents of the new dawn
Hoping the feeling will last

Out into the daylight on fast moving streets
Absorbing the happenings around
Sensing the pattern of a rhythmical striding
The soldiers have arrived back in town...

Poet me. Writer me. I must think 
I extend my story, to know it
The instrument I utilize, scroll quill & ink
Are my accepted method writ

With these, I see, the sayings
That be, composed and planned
The power of my imagination phrasings
Write in tune within my command

Inked profound through rhythmical flow
Carving the rhythms of my each line
Garlanded day by day, my deep rooted scroll
I compose my story, by my own one of a kind mind...

Merry Christmas Soup  
  
We sit together raising our glasses

Of eggnog, glühwein, or sorrel punch and passing on

Blessings of goodwill, throughout the flowing seasons

Unzipping our thoughts through poems and songs 

Expressing the emotions of every heart in friendships

Accentuating their beauty through metaphors

Rhythmical we toast for never ending inspiration 

Merry Christmas

Bottomless ocean speak your rhythmical path.
Beautiful world if only a glimpse embedded in my mind.
I shall capture the essence of unknown in detail.
I sigh a slow breath.
Yet danger may soon approach.
For I will not stay but in this moment short lived.
In the depths free from sound.
Vivid sight of fish that stir larger than man could imagine.
Strengthen me,devour me not.
Oh' stellar shot....
