Alli Attacks
Alligator attacks prey
Lunges out of the bayou
Loud head slap
Intense jaw clamps down
Gripping death roll
Another muskrat say good bye
Tail spin immobolized
On it's way down
River bottom cries....

Acrostic
Spewell Bluff
God's creation is something to behold
I see with every leaf unfold
I it in every Robin and Wren
I see it in every river's bend
I see it in Spewell Bluff
With its cliff so ragged and ruff
Climbing from the river bottom green
To the sky oh so serene...

I do not know?
The Divine
My feet feel their way
Along the rocky river bottom
Arms balancing
Waist bending
Ankles slipping, twisting,
Toes gripping on algae-covered stones
And maneuvering
Through ice-cold hell
Hell
Hell
Hell
Until you.
A warm tuft of grass and clover
Soft and green
Ankles burning with warmth
Love
Salvation....

Natures Moziac Masterpiece
Natures mozaic masterpiece in multicolored splender.
A rippling change of dancing light the river bottom renders.
The heart does soar from what life implores.
Beauty like this could never come from a store.
The world goes round without a thought.
But beauty like this needs to be caught.
A simple stone and all it's friends.
May natures moziac masterpiece never end.
This is for Rick Parise's Stones contest....

Entanglement
having been created
with painful self awareness,
and
shielded from harms-protected from self
I navigate
Yellow Brick
river bottom
stepping stones
while I
step lightly through
Kansas
returning we, you, they, them
home
The departed possess
no clock
no calendar
yet they still love us
right now
This Entanglement
like it or not
blankets me all days
and brutal nights
until I embrace them again...

Drought
Pedaling along river drive
empty plastic grocery bags
fluttered and flapped from tree branches
like lost battle surrender flags
that line the drought-stricken river.
Their interspersed clings reminded
me of inundated levels
this now anemic river reached;
where once the floodwaters surged south
along its journey to the sea
its now imperceptive flow
struggles, its intimate's exposed:
river-bottom, water-worn rocks
sit like petrified bowler hats....
