Red Kite

The fabulous red kite - broad wings, mighty,
Built to soar, beauteous sight !
Red tail forked, in rooftop flight,
Silently swoops for the fight.

A Hen Flaps Her Wings

a hen flaps her wings
and flies up to the rooftop- -
vet trims her feathers

Undesired Rain

Rain on rooftop gently pelts and slowly drips;
beneath the gust-battered brenches owls complain...  
cooing and lamenting not to make it stay,
unless it tapers.

Shattered Normality

sounds of gunfire
    shatter a warm afternoon...
         one more lockdown

gray feral pigeons
     scatter from their rooftop nests  ...
         tomorrow's headline

Reborn

Rooftop was open,
and I was free,
I slid to edge,
and took the plunge,
Where I reached,
was a rooftop more open,
from where I took another plunge,
and was reborn.

And She's Not Bad Lookin Either

Her Soup name we know as PD
Her REAL name is Linda you see
And Irma as well

From my rooftop...Can’t hear me? (Poor me)

For a very special and loyal friend...

Before

Could I turn 
Back the clock 
To rooftop summers, 
Crimson in their arrogance 
And say “watch out for 
Tomorrow”?
I would turn the sun
On a needle 
And sit, listening

Rooftop Woman

atop dust-covered clapboard
hanging sheets washed virgin white
wind-borne absolution encircled
she sang life's aria

distant sailor smiled

Solace of Rain

raindrops chatter on the rooftop
mocking this saddened heart
pummeled with the rhythm of woe

What Was I Thinking

I stood on the rooftop ready to jump,
I was tired of taking lump after lump,
so while I prepared to leap
I noticed it was too steep...
can't mess up my hair coiffed like Donald Trump!

11:23 Pm

11.23pm

Frothy clouds 
and floating waves,
On the rooftop 
while I stargaze.


11.24pm

Though my heart is
stained with darkness,
That's where you'll find 
the brightest stars.

Santa Returns To Ms Robbinsons

Santa's sleigh crashes to a rooftop.
Down the chimney he goes with a plop.
   A woman stands in the nude
   She's smiling with a plate of food.
"This Christmas we do it on the tabletop!"

Nourish This Home

Thou art
So beautiful
This rain,
Pouring down,
From this rooftop, but
Still receiving your light
What angels land,
At this doorstep
Nourishing this sweet home
Lord, you know how to give

MY RAINY ROOFTOP LULLABY



I fell asleep,
beneath the trees,
their leaves wept,
as I slept.

I now know,
I will go,
someday it's true,
beneath the moon.

Stars will cry,
I'll say goodnight,
close my eyes,
to a rooftop lullaby.

Rooftop of New York

Sky is running in New York 
It is always in movement 
Even under immensity

Cocoa yard is dizzy in New York 
The crowd rushes by 
Even under the rain 

Sky is flooding New York 
With its blue-grey coat 
Even under the boat

But the Mystical Forrest

On the rooftop high^
My eyes like kaleidoscope§
One face in the sky??

Fear but calm I sit....
The spirit of a dragon
Storms its eyes at me 

I don't understand..¿?
..But the mystical forrest????????
And it was no dream...??

December Magic

luminescent snow

    dressed in pewter, tulle, moonshine

          chilling the rooftop

    as December magic warms

          ... long shivers of twilight's kiss

Beyond All Walls

Beyond all walls
Midnight sky calls
Wishing star falls
Where dreams come true

Rain on rooftop
Morning dewdrop
Cloudy days stop
Bring skies of blue

Underneath a Moonlit Sky

The sunshine started becoming dull
The moonlight begins to come,
I was siting on the rooftop 
A radiant ,sickle,red,cold body ,
Seen in the sky its like it was 
Talking with the sky,..."

If I were a Grasshopper

If I were a grasshopper
I could jump ten times my length
I am five foot two inches
For me this means, I could jump one hundred feet
I picture myself jumping up to the rooftop
And leaping over two or three buildings
Jumping over the tops of the roofs of skyscrapers

Pound For Pound

from bank to skill
  and labor to love
 for sake of pleasure
and from rooftop to tile
   my list compiles a pile
  as high and long as a miracle mile
 from brain to agility
from slum to nobility
 I am willing to bet that
   pound for pound
     I am better by the pound
