Supervisor

His anger plows my heart
but does not plant any seeds
weeds of anger he grafts
on the ridges and valleys
of  work I can do so well

Poor Richard

Walk along the ridges, 
Pay for your pretty bridges, 
Subsist in subsistence
Regard me without difference
I am a stow-away forgetfulness

Premium Member A Matter of Time

The brown of the earth
caked on my hand
filling ridges too
where tools had rested
all morning
waiting forever
for the lunch whistle

Premium Member Laurel Hell

It takes a snake’s forked tongue to kiss and tell
My Blue Ridges turned a Bitter Eden 
Of all I’ve known Love is a Laurel Hell
The lowest limb’s fruit all bruised and beaten

Long Ways From the Sea

Unto ones self winters never bore
Summers never die and wants are never achieved
Tis not the highest peak nor darkest valley that emplore
But the shallows and ridges near shore

Limerick 2

A bird flew beyond the ridges,
In search of prey beneath the bridges.
'Hello', the dolphin greeted her,
But she ignored cos of her task.
She'd returned now with no riches!

Starboard Saints

starboard saints
rowing ridges over
trembling tides, we're 
brewing boulders topped with
wintery whitecaps
sinking slowly, we whisper
defeated dirges to the
abyssal plains

Clerihew-Bold Alpinists

Michel-Grabriel Paccard and Jacques Balmat
ascended the dangerous ridges of Mont Blanc...
without ice axes and their firm determination,
to achieve the impossible, nurtured their immense ambition.

Premium Member Goosebumps

Hard-working, calloused hands 
firmly imprint ridges upon my back.
Your sandpaper face, like a fine file, 
smooths against my neck gently.
Like your rugged bristle terrain, 
my arm hairs stand erect.

Autumn Song I

We raise up to the place,
We’re reaching the time,
On the place, when the dream wakes up
In the moment,where the reality will fall asleep
In a dark shadow, a cradle,
blinds the ridges
With bright cloud,? cover
darkens the lake.
Form: Lyric

Desert Story

Stones inadvertently resemble pain
sharp when raw
freshly torn from rock.

Witnesses of time, they fill with voices
the ridges round off,
become children's cheeks.

Afterwards 
they shrink,
stone egg cells
in an eternity of ideas.
Form: Lyric

Fingerprint

An onyx ink impression
spirals in unique form,
from the dizzying loops
etched in soft flesh--

where furrows weave
like trenches in the earth,
dotting the surface 
with ridges and islands
that protrude in 
evidential patterns.

Premium Member Cloud Dance

There is no cover.
There is no shield.
You will wander all your life
With a vacant memory
Of times forbidden, and times beloved,
As you dance along the ridges,
Like a softening cloud,
Until you yourself dissipate
Into the air of it all.

Alpinism

Alexandre, the young alpinist from a southern France,
attaches crampons to his tough climber's booths,
to ascend the dangerous ridges of Mount Rose,
and with the same ice axe, he climbed Mount Everett!

Premium Member Early Morning Shadows

Early morning shadows like mists
Creep across the lower ridges
Settle down into the hollows
Like the pervasive poverty
Of the hill country.
By noon the mists have lifted
The shadows receded
But poverty remains.

Jebels

Jutting far beyond date palms and dunes,
East of somewhere and west of nowhere,
Bound by rocks along sparse vegetations,
Endless rows of towering tors and ridges,
Lonely backdrop against cloudless skies,
Silent sentries amidst desolate wasteland.

Premium Member Waves From An Oregon Patio

Evening surrenduring,
I am at-once bird and man.
I cannot see the sky, 
Because I am the sky.
The warmth of simple bounty
Rolls through me in waves.
Leave your scarring ridges
To be remembered in the ebbs,
You, now, as my old friends laughter.

Premium Member Stitching Skies' Stories

mountain ridges of clouds
  o'er my windshield spread
interspersed, baby-blue patches
  brilliant spaces, like threads
stitching skies' stories together
  a hobbled glance ahead of
cars tethered to a 
  snarled, honking freeway,
blustery rage moving in, I dread

My Old Flame

My Old Flame

Would that I would fly
To ocean’s side
And catch the twinkling caps,
Where the moon touches
The boundary ridges
And I could but dream of you.
“Over there” you sailed 
Where herons fly
Oh, so long ago.
I missed you so – I did not know
That you would be truly gone.

Premium Member Compassion

His fingers trail the hated ridges across my chest I cringe and whimper softly in his neck They journey on in ruthless compassion, In determined aim to conquer, a collective act of mercy by exploring hands. Equalizing my wasteland by massaging and by kissing away my tears
